[quote="In the sixteenth chapter of Forbidden Knowledge, entitled "Chapter 11", was"]His laugh was harsh enough to draw blood.

"I've got an immunity drug. Your precious Hashi Lebwohl gave it to me. Data Acquisition at its finest. The real reason I came here before was to test it for him."

That was the reply she'd dreaded. UMCP corruption. And a betrayal of humankind so profound that its implications shocked her out of her calm. Her zone implant might as well have been switched off. Abysms of treachery seemed to gape around her like the gaps between the stars.

Not Hashi Lebwohl's treason: not the UMCP's.

Nick's.

Pretty much a combination of those two things...as UMCP she could play back the content of the data core and replace the corrupted data with it.

Your question IS. :D

The parent's mind is copied, and the parent becomes mentally absent, permanently. :huh: :cry:

Hmm, tough call. I would have accepted either, but since both were offered, we must turn to the sacred texts...
In Forbidden Knowledge, for the Amnion Physician was wrote:The Procedure produces total and irreparable loss of reason and function.
In Forbidden Knowledge, for Marc Vestibule was wrote:In your terms, we know why she did not go crazy when her mind was copied.
Insanity is closer to the correct answer.
