Running both on chemical action and a microfusion plant, whatever space isn't taken up by the mechanics is taken up by the gradio and the interface hardware.Running both on chemical action and a microfusion plant, whatever space isn't taken up by the mechanics is taken up by the gradio and the interface hardware. Using one, though, is easy. Basically I lie down on a biocybe couch for hours on end, and live through the BCA. I've run mine in a normal atmosphere for several hours; sat down, ate a meal, used the restroom. It's literally as if my mind had been transplanted into a body just like mine, except this body can survive on the surface of llerkin. Oh, and just to try it out, I masturbated. Guess what? Works like normal. And the really funny thing is that the orientation manual recommends it. There's plenty of room for abuse with this technology. There are wireheads who spend forever in their own private universes, and there are wireheads who just feed themselves full of pleasure signals. I guess I'm just one of those people who's happy to be themselves. Since the early years we've had posit technology, the ability to build organic systems and interface them with AI centers and the smaller android intelligences. But BCA's are more general purpose; they can be built to stand vacuum, or in this case, llerkin's corrosion. And the AI's monitoring the back-and-forth intercept any pain senses, scents or tastes that wouldn't match due to alien environments. So when I visit llerkin I don't smell the acids, ammonias and ozone. "Besides," Arraon was saying, bringing my mind back from musings, "Anni herself asked for you." "Anni?" "The princess Anlestin. |
