Since the return of Sansha Kuvakei and the rise of His Nation against the CONCORD-led empires, NeuroGEN has played its part in seeing this visionary plan to fruition. A true utopia can only be achieved through the marvel of science and technology, and as capsule pilots we have an opportunity to play our part in its creation, or become the 'mistake' that perpetuates the eventual downfall of our entire species.
Propaganda would have you believe the individuals liberated from Nation raids are being taken away for some horrible, twisted demise as mindless servants of a mad man. However, the truth is they have no idea what happens and simply 'fill in' the unknown with their worst nightmares to justify their animosity.
Pilots have been conditioned by their governments to believe Sansha's Nation are twisted abominations that exist solely to kill them and everyone they know and love. This concept is only further exacerbated when they reach space and are enlisted by corporations and agencies to destroy Nation ships found in their territory. Some do these jobs gladly out of a misplaced need for justice while others are simply there to collect the bounties rewarded to them by CONCORD. In either case, a system is in place to ensure the ideas of the Nation will never be heard with a clear representation of their cause or the violation inflicted against them over one hundred years ago.
Despite this situation, there are many individuals who have seen the worst of their own society and reject the lies and ignorance that perpetuate the status quo. They crave something greater than personal wealth and power, and recognize the inherent flaws of personal freedom without the responsibility to a greater purpose. To anyone else they would be labelled traitors and radicals, but to us they are the precious few gifted (or burdened) with enlightenment.
For humanity to evolve as a species, genetic manipulation alone will not suffice. Conscious thought must develop sufficiently beyond societal expectation, and this is where capsule pilots have stagnated. Empires forged in the lawless regions are simply a visible symptom of a regressive urge for power and wealth without any other understanding as to why this must be done. If left to persist, technology will continue to stride ahead of our mental comprehension until our capacity for self-destruction obliterates us to extinction. The Jovians are a living example of this flaw, and only now in their dying breath do they finally understand.
With His vision and the lessons of the Nation's past as our guide, it is painfully obvious that a Nation cannot co-exist peacefully alongside the empires as it endeavored to so long ago. Fear and ignorance have created an indestructible barrier between us, and our dream of a technological utopia would continue to be crushed the moment our enemies had a physical target to inflict themselves upon. Recognizing this threat, NeuroGEN has taken steps in securing our own sanctuary for future generations of people.
This Brave New World will upload our best and brightest minds into a computer network, where they shed the constraints of their physical self to create a new virtual world, to share ideas with their peers, and pursue their interests for the benefit of our society.

The process itself is no more painful than a neural scan and the users experience what can only be described as a "lucid dream state" once inside. The users will have access to tools and research equipment in the physical world, inter-connected through our facility utilizing the latest in robotics technology and the finest support personnel NeuroGEN has to offer. In the prototype, our tests have shown these individuals are significantly more productive and capable than their physical counterparts, capable of disseminating complex problems and communicating faster than capsule pilots can with their vessels. Our people will experience a Unity of consciousness and understanding that will transcend our perception of what humanity could be, and guide our species on a course towards true evolution.
But like any project of this magnitude, dreams cannot be achieved on ambition alone. We will need materials, resources, and manpower to turn this idea into a reality. NeuroGEN is seeking brave and resourceful individuals to collaborate with us in the pursuit of our cause, and are also interested in building relations with other corporations who share our vision. If you are a pilot interested in employment with us, or are a representative on behalf of your organization, please contact either myself or Lillith Blackheart to discuss the matter further.
Thank you, Dr. Nola J. Doyle Co-CEO, NeuroGEN

Edited by: Seriphyn Inhonores on 26/07/2010 17:24:34 I'm pretty sure amalgating the underdeveloped mind of a ten month old baby into the body of a 24-year old ethnic Gallente, deforming both individuals into a completely new abomination that is wholly unrecognizable is not "some horrible, twisted demise", is it?

Don't you already have the manpower? Or are the poor souls you and your Nation have captured thus far merely the unwilling beta-testers for this?
I can assure you, there are a great many organizations that will make an active effort to prevent your acquisition of resources for this.

Oh, I didn't know we had another doomsday cult on the bandwagon.
I believe the only person being mislead here is you, Ms. Doyle. However, if you wish to believe that the Nation is such a benevolent organization, go ahead. If of course you're not fooling yourself and just presenting this heap of... pardon me, garbage as a lie in a nice wrapping. It's almost hilarious to see Nation's agent propaganda switching so radically from the stick to the carrot approach in so little time.... don't worry, you're not fooling anyone.

Seriphyn, I am sorry for your loss, but if it was anyone but the Nation they would have perished outright. Take solace in knowing they are not dead, but serving a greater purpose. I don't expect you to posess the clarity to see this, but war is sometimes cruel. Perhaps it should give you some pause the next time your government sends you out to kill blindly.

Mr. Moromuo, while flattering I think you might have mistaken us for the Nation. We are not in possession of the individuals liberated from the various worlds.
Our participants are willing subjects eager to participate in a project that may have a significant impact on humanity as a whole. As for obstruction, this has been anticipated.

Edited by: Yo****aka Moromuo on 27/07/2010 00:44:01 Flattery was nowhere near my intent; regardless of whether or not your organization is Nation, it does support Nation. That alone calls into question the willingness of your test parties, and by extension, any moral claims you may have with respect to this project.

Pilot Doyle may I suggest that in your next recruiting class of "willing participants" you try to find a fresh script writer? The one you're currently using has apparently run out of ideas and he's now simply recycling.
Such a shame. I came expecting to be entertained and left quite disappointed. I give this performance only 2 stars. What you want is irrelevant. What you've chosen is at hand. |

Does the brain scan terminate your current existence, like a clone jump? Or could I have a fork of my consciousness made to exist in your virtual environment while I continue to live my corporeal life?
Also, when there is more than one conciseness interacting in the 'lucid dream' environment, how is the individual protected from undesirable fantasies of others? Whats to prevent a weaker mind being trapped in a 'lucid nightmare' for another consciousness's amusement.
If you can address my concerns I'd consider giving you a brain scan. Redundancy in my existence can't be a bad thing.

I am curious if this is an opportunity to advance my self interest. If I understand the concept correctly Dr Doyle is attempting to create an alternative, virtual universe. I think such a place would benefit from a fork of my consciousness that could perhaps ensure such a place can be individualist and anarchistic.
The fact it is created by a "Nation" doesn't really matter. Its quite like how the Empires enabled me to become a capsuleer, just because I am born of an Empire, or Nation doesn't mean that I will advance their ideals. I will of course, pursue my own.

this is owned and operated by the nation.
how can this not be used to advance their ideals?

Choonka X - Moon 6 - Imperial Armaments Factory is owned and operated by an Amarrian Nationalist corporation, yet we use it to base out of and fight the Empire to the best of our ability.
I will never be owned, a version of me existing in this Nation universe will not be owned either. It would, I expect fight the authority from the inside out.

ChipMo, capsule pilots (and other resourceful individuals with access to cloning technology) are an exception in that all that is required for entry to our network is a signed document stating their consent for release of their neural information. At that point we would connect with their current clone contractor and acquire the information to upload their consciousness into our neural network.
For the less fortunate, a thorough neural scan would be necessary for full implementation, resulting in permanent damage to grey tissue beyond recovery. This is a one-way excursion for many, which is one reason why by the time our facilities will be fully operational a training program will be in place to ensure that our participants are educated and thoroughly prepared for their journey.
Without delving too deeply into the technical aspects of our design, the system has been constructed to imitate the neural network of a human mind. Utilizing semi-organic structures, our uploaded consciousnesses continue to learn and build memories from their physical lives to become the groundwork for our world. Our DigiconsÖ, or "digital consciousnesses", will then be allowed to share their actual memories with one another (user consent required) on a far more personal level than through verbal communication. The net outcome is a multi-faceted, unified consciousness capable of processing data and multi-tasking at an astronomically superior rate when compared to the limitations of current technology.
The Coalition wants the universe to believe we're smashing the soft skulls of babies together on some industrial assembly line, but anyone with an ounce of scientific ability understands that this process isn't simply a matter of jamming matter into a blender and choosing 'puree'. For us to achieve our potential we must be willing to take a leap of faith and not allow misaligned prejudices from inducing artificial boundaries that stagnate us culturally and intellectually as a species.

Irony runs amuck in Ms. Doyle's skewed view of the universe. Society does not wish to be a part of this twisted science experiment that NeuroGEN offers.
Utopias were never achieved in the past, nor will they be in the present. Based on what you've said, Ms. Doyle, either you truly believe in Nation, or you are well aware of Kuvekei's master plan. For both, I pity you and Ms. Blackheart equally.

My outlook on life is quite enjoyable, actually. As for the status quo? I left the State just because of that. And right now, my time is taken up by preparing for the coming attacks that Nation has been instigating, a failed utopian society that you are mindlessly contributing to.
Only fools are enslaved by inescapable dreams. Well, apart from the innocents that were enslaved of course.

A failed society? Do you have any idea what you are saying? Nation was simply unlucky to be born into a universe of ignorance... The empires took it down because they sensed a threat to their ideals, and the pirate organizations, in their mad lust for money and blood, preyed on it... At least in my eyes, an utopian society should not have the need to defend itself, otherwise it wouldn't be flawless... But, as can be seen here, there is no chance whatsoever that the people of New Eden would overcome their blindness themselves and let a peaceful Nation establish itself. We are solely catalysts, my dear, but you probably think of these as empty words once again...

Have to admit this post has got my interest. As a bare minimum, being able to make 'forks of consciousness' raises serious questions about how souls interact with this procedure. Is a new soul created/(lured to) each new digital consciousness? Or (radically), do we not have souls?
Also, privacy concerns. Inside the neural records of each pod pilot lurk many secrets. If it is possible to reconstruct a personality from the records, then it would be fairly simple to gain access to memories (via artifical simulation of the real world, torture simulators, passive gathering of data inside a simulator, etc). Note that this is not an attack on NeuroGEN, more a comment on 'open sourcing' your memories.
On bright side, devices like this could act as a 'backup' for your mind. You could have your personality inside a simulator you control. If your cloning process goes wrong, you could leave intructions for your artifical personality to be given access to the real world. Thinking about it, there is no law of physics stopping you activating the personality *before* you die, which is even more interesting.
--- As an aside for readers likely to jump to conclusions, I don't like Sansha's Nation. For the simple reason that all power rests with one man. Gilded cages are still cages.

I'm afraid I cannot answer your question about souls in relation to our project without a greater understanding of your definition. If the concept is substantial beyond a cultural construct I may be able to assist.
As for privacy, as previously stated, access to memories and information is private unless made public by the source on the network. None of our users have higher level access, meaning any information shared has the consent of its source.
I'm encouraged that there are some with the clarity to see the advantages inherent in this project.
