Kyo: I just mean we tend to get all sorts of visitors from around the world. It's not impossible that you might bump into someone you know from home.

Mimi: Goodness me. I did think of that possibility, but the thought is still so very unusual to me. >.>

Kyo: Well, my friend Zui comes by to visit me sometimes. For whatever reason, our friends tend to find their way over to us eventually, no matter which planet we're on.

-Morgan is out and about-

-Perhaps he finds Kyo and Mimi?-

Kyo: Oh, hi Morgan! What's up?

And incredibly fascinating, too.

@Morgan And you've met more of these creatures?

Morgan: I have. And they can do so many different things.

The Psychoscope data I've collected could make Neuromods I would never have been able to so much as guess at.

Kyo: They are pretty interesting, aren't they? They can do so many different things, and all of them are apparently as tameable as dogs. Weird how that works out.

@Mimi: Definitely. I bet you'd make a lot of friends in Japan. We tend to like cute things that pack a punch, and you fit the bill.

Morgan: -to Mimi- These things that a company called TranStar made, back before Earth kinda... I'm supposed to say "had an oopsie".

The long and short of it is that when you use one, you give yourself the skill it contains. Want to be good at ballet dancing? Grab the ballet Neuromod and you can go Swan Lake like you've been doing it since you could walk.

-to Kyo- Yeah. The multiverse is a very, very odd place.

@Morgan So a very fancy term for genetic modification.

Morgan: No, it's not genetic. A Neuromod directly changes the way your brain is structured. The "skill" it carries is a map of the brain of the individual that has it, and it figures out a way to combine the parts of that brain carrying those skills with your own.

@Morgan: Brain modding, huh? Sounds scary. Then again, that's probably just my big lizard brain talking. tongue

Morgan: -to Kyo- There are certain... pecularities with the process that, under the right and extremely specific set of circumstances, can give somebody control over your life.

Morgan: -to Kyo- It mostly has to do with the fact that since a Neuromod changes how your brain is structured, a Neurectomy to remove it will effectively also remove all of the memories you've formed since you installed it. You'd be an amnesiac.

And if you're in the business of rapidly cycling through Neuromods - testing out different ones that provide different skills - somebody could easily tamper with the data used to bring you back up to speed. Turn a single day into your entire life.

Kyo: Huh... that sounds scarier than any kaiju I've ever fought, to be honest. I mean, the thought that I could lose a bunch of memories like that, or be controlled by someone...

But I imagine changing up your brain like that must have some pretty big benefits, too.
