Bad Born Blood - Chapter 6

Haha… How fun observing situation around that full-fledged cyborg or even AI machine, come to think of, according to our instructor, the reason, why that imperial guard was conflicted about not having his brain intact – is just “phantom limb syndrome”, though, to be honest, this doesn’t really answers to question. Even if he had that syndrome, why he was fully operational and aware even after losing his only computing power, human brain, considering that he was a cyborg with only a small amount of his previous body intact, including brain.

I have two theories, that came to my mind:
It’s seems, that Accretian Empire’s not joking around and happens to be very transhumanistic nation so don’t mind violent guess.

1. Hub of process. Essentially a room, filled with all kinds of drugs and monitoring personal, that contains brains of numerous officers, generals, basically a highest military echelon, or if we consider the fact, that MC’s instructor knows for sure, what the deal with imperial guard incident, seems like, that room contains only the brains of imperial guards, because that’s a very pragmatic approach to military command hierarchy – imperial guard only receives command, and must do only what’s required. Or there’s no sense, why a mere instructor, even highest among the rest instructors, knows that information, perhaps it can be the former, due to some patriotic and utopian reasons (from the point of view of instructor), about being capable and willing serving to the last, however I doubt it. We all humans and we know, what would do the most corrupt/immoral politicians if they have sufficient technology and “workhorse”.
2. Ascended Machine intelligence. What I mean by ascended, has very little of that word, because the very people might not fully comprehended what meant “to serve even after their deaths”. Forceful digitalization was the answer, probably very painful too, regardless, imperial guard was happy to accept the final verdict, right? Even in their last moments as a human being there was only a felling of fulfilment, surely not a everlasting regret… Nothing much to talk of, due to how similiar those theories are, perhaps there must some kind of database with cooling equipment and monitoring personal, containing digitalizied imperial guard/officers brain scans, ready to be deployed.

Both of theories are brutal and inhuman, I like it certainly. Oh, want to add, that these theories imply, that truly/physically and even mentally losing even one imperial guard is unacceptable, that’s why in my theories, there most certainly must be storage for brains/database of “valued” personal and even some precautions about “resetting” a imperial guard mentally, when they face cognitive crisis like this incident, shown in series. Yeah, this is very fun to read, enjoy your time too, good luck.
