Genolution 'Lazarus' implant - Latest implant from Genolution, the 'Lazarus' features an advanced recording suite, that allows memories of a persons actions to be integrated into a backup clone, should the user of the 'Lazarus' be killed outside of the capsule or cloning facility. This can be a disorientating experience, and associates of a Lazarus user are politely suggested not to tell the user how they died.
One of the Jovians in the Theodicy short story was killed outside of the capsule, but returned later on, and said something like "stop! do not tell me how I died!".
So, it could be done, maybe.
That's hilariously awesome...
I had a very roundabout idea simply of putting a DUST implant in a clone and jumping or regular podding into it. During the time in that DUST body, you effectively lose the capsuleer title and can't fly a ship worth **** besides physically manning it like a regular person with a crew and everything. Plus, you need the distance limitation and, depending on how an MCC or its internal suite and the DUST implant communicate, it could be rather easy to stop that connection, be it underneath thick heavy metals, or sending a resonating wave back to cancel out the implant to MCC communications.
To get back to being a capsuleer, mr. former podder must kill himself within the vicinity of the MCC and be reuploaded to a pod-capable clone.
The problems seem to be that, from how some perceive CCP's Dust implant/Pod incompatibility, it might be more of the capsuleer mind physically just cannot fit inside a DUST implant body due to sheer size limitations of neural data or whatnot. The basic idea of this rather two bit craptastic idea is more of, yes you can leave your pod and have your "immortality" but you'll be treading a still dangerous line to anyone with a brain to just break the connection and shoot you to permakill you. You still would prefer just sitting the captain's quarters with 2k ISK guards outside, staying preferably fine in the pod-ready body instead of risking such a danger. |
