[C.B.] Start the transfer now.
[J.W.] Consciousness upload initiated.
[C.B.] Get the Alkahest ready. You exposed the radiolaria to ten times the usual concentration?
[J.W.] Yes. We're at 10%.
[C.B.] Excellent. Start injecting now.
[J.W.] 15% now. Alkahest at 5%.
(console buttons) (tapping)
[J.W.] 25 and 40% now.
(warning alarms) (electrical spark) (bang) (click) (descending whirls)
[C.B.] What the hell was that?
(ascending hum) (switch) (low hum)
[J.W.] Power surge? We're on emergency power. Vitals failing. Get the medics in now!
[C.B.] Damn it. Forget the medics, the experiment is already too far gone. I was so sure about this one. What did we get to?

[C.B.] Now what?

[C.B.] At what?
[J.W.] This doesn't make any sense. Upload at 1900%?
[C.B.] Move! Do I have to do everything around here?
[J.W.] Is it possible the consciousness was corrupted and duplicated?
[C.B.] We're about to find out. //Hello there, P153. How are you feeling?//
[P153] (static)
[C.B.] Can it speak?
[J.W.] Vocals are operational, sir.

[C.B.] Was the alkahest at 100%?

[C.B.] //Clarity... Is that you?//
