Chapter 1.3 (1/2)

1.3

Angela’s body was preserved in electric signals. To complete the mission in the realistic world she had to have the same body. After Angela’s birth on Earth, her genetic  material was preserved in storage. On the basis of it, a physical body was created.

And yet, it was still unknown, when the next hack was going to be, and if it will be known that the government security system was hacked, and Deva will be harmed, a real panic will begin. The physical body needed to be prepared as quickly as possible. There was no time to wait the amount to grow to the actual age.

This was when the delights of bioengineering was involved. Based on the information from the storage of the DNA and amino acid, an artificial body is created, proteins are made from the amino acids, the resulting structure is processed, each element is produced separately. Later all the parts are immediately put together, this greatly shortens the time.

And yet the result is a fetus at 9 months of pregnancy. This is where the nanomachines and machinery come into play. All ways are fully utilized, including the chemical effect, the speed of the cell cycle exceeds the normal rate by about five thousand times. In her private office, Angela watched the process of making her physical body.

The monitor showed an aquarium with a fetus, immersed in its traditional nutrition environment as well as the predicted development time. The body that has just appeared in this world gave off a strange vibe. Inside of the fetus’ brain there is no personality. As soon as the body reaches a certain age, it will be loaded with a virtual personality. The display showed detailed information on the fetus. Table of verification values. Everything was within the norm.

Angela began stimulate the cell division. Before this she drove everything out through a simulation. The full  development of the organism takes thirty five hours.

“Too long.”

It was possible to do this without a physical body. It was enough to load a mind into one of Deva’s robots, to be able to work in the real world. And yet, the locals might treat the robot with suspicion, as a result of which there might be problems with collecting information. Also the virtual ident.i.ty needs to be transferred, which, though not impossible, has some nuances.

The spirit has abandoned its flesh, but still any person needs to have a personal image, to continue its existence. The essence of a person is built on the basis of feeling one’s own body. To see with your eyes, listen with your ears, smelling with your nose, tasting with your tongue, feeling with your skin, a human being learns the world in movement, this makes up his soul. If in the virtual world there is a body that has sensory organs, the soul won’t be able to exist. There will be nothing to support its foundation.

In turn a mechanical body, unlike a body that can sense, puts a very large load on the spirit. Because of this some time had to be spent, because the connection to your own physical body in this case is simply necessary.

“Nothing can be done….”

Angela gave an affirmative order. The development began to speed up. After that she once again looked through the simulation data.The fetus on the monitor screen began to take the form of a human, a naked figure of another Angela was already discernible.

The physical and the virtual bodies were basically identical, however it was also important the amount of resources that were available for this, something in the end had to be spared. Angela barely had such differences however, but she wanted to check for herself.

She looked at the image of her physical body. She turned and slightly stretched.

“Hm…It’s slightly heavy. Can this be the fault of Earth’s gravity?

She decided to try the body. She shook her hands, and then bent down. She took a confident step and clenched her hand into a fist. As an investigator of the security system, Angela was supposed to have the skills of close combat. Without stopping moving, she asked asked a question to AI support.

“And what will be of the equipment?”

Displays appeared around Angela. There was a robot on top of them, namely a mobile exoskeleton. There were also weapons and ammunition. A fighting unit, very maneuverable, capable of operating both with and without an atmosphere, gravity does not present any difficulties for it.

“Arhan,” she muttered the name of robot’s latest model, “In complete configuration. And…”

Another window opened. There was a careless man with a brazen face.

“Local agent-conductor?”

She glanced into his profile.

Zarich Kadzivara

Nickname – Dingo

Information Security System, 18 successful mission on Earth. He was given “S” rank.

Nasty nature. In reports, much was said about acts of disobedience.

“Hm, I hope there will be some benefit. Next is k.u.mite. Provide an opponent.”

Before her was a simulated humanoid doll. As a partner, AI support made an imitation of the enemy and signaled the start of the training. The enemy appeared in the form of a security system.

In front of Angela, smiling, stood a woman with emerald green short hair, clearly aimed for victory. Angela’s face looked tired.

“Kristine? You know, it’s a bad habit to penetrate somewhere without permission.”

“Who cares. I’ve done nothing wrong,” Kristine said, Angela arbitrarily glanced at the display.

“What do you want? I’m busy”

“You’ve been entrusted with the mission of tracking Pioneer haven’t you?”

“Yes.” Angela smiled proudly.

Kristine lifted her hand and snapped with her fingers. The form turned into a training costume.

“I’ve also been a.s.signed to it.”

“Oh?”
