Were you killed before you came here?

Were you in mortal danger before you woke up here?


If you were returned to your home, would you return to a dead body?

I'm not surprised that you can't achieve these things, as my people are, to my knowledge, the only ones to have this technology in my dimension and they prefer to keep it that way. However it's possible that the changes are related to the presumably organic nature of those you are 'reviving' and the 'vessels' being used. My people are largely cybernetic, so the process is simpler and completely flawless.

Of course I am the same person. I've had reason in the past to create backups of my own consciousness in case of emergencies, so I am hardly unfamiliar with the process. Besides, considering a number of people here claim to know each other from before, but do not note any significant changes, it would appear that whoever is behind bringing us here not only has the technology needed to perform such transfers, but has also perfected it to be used on organic beings.

When consciousnesses are transferred, it's usually the consciousness of a formerly organic being into a cybernetic body. I'm not a scientist, so I still don't really get it, but it's like the consciousness that develops starts from a model of the old one. At the same time, though, those models continue to exist in the new being's subconscious.

Maybe it just has something to do with the way our bodies are built, more than the other?

Hmm, I find your explanation a little confusing; why wouldn't the new being's consciousness continue to grow and change on its own? Being cybernetic in no way limits your ability to learn and change.

I've got a few friends who are kinda like that, so believe me, I know. I was just kind of trying to figure out why the consciousness changes into something entirely different, and thought that since your people perfected it, you might have an idea.

Perhaps if you gave me a more specific idea of the changes shown? My people have had this technology for generations, so any problems would have been dealt with some time ago.
