Is the AI a ghost?

[Technature]

AI can pop out to go into a shell, which I see as them transferring their ghost from one body to another.

The thing about the neural network I was going to say was: It's probably an artificial brain, but the personality it contains belongs to a formerly human being. NT just found a way to take a soul, digitize it, and then mass produce them. Station AI are tested and proven personalities that can run a station.

Cloning is a simliar concept, they just build a new body to host the free floating soul using organic materials. It's why cloning doesn't work for NPCs or braindead players. They either lack a soul or it's "passed on" when the player leaves the game.

The thing about the clones though, they're not exact replicas. The genetic code has been subtly manipulated, spliced with the DNA of bees. Why bees? Because of their industrious nature and their hive allegiance to a authority figure it the Queen Bee. In this case, NT wants loyal hardworking employees

The station's goal isn't plasma research. It's them working the kinks out of two emerging technologies: Digitization of the human soul, and gene manipulation. They want the key to immortality, and loyal slaves, forever

I'm 90% sure I'm reading legitimate lore.
