I’ve been looking through the Robot Handbook for a means by which a previously existing human consciousness can be downloaded to a storage device and implanted into a clone/biological robot that gets put into cryo until thawed for use. I can’t seem to find that possibility in the current rules.
An important part of my setting will be the ultra rich attempting to achieve effective immortality by regularly backing up their consciousness to a memory stack that could later be implanted into a clone of themselves in the event of death. This method would have been recently created. I can make up whatever I want, but I generally try to look for existing Traveller rules first.
I do know about the method of transplanting biological brains into a clone, but that’s not what I’m looking for as the ultra rich are looking for a means that doesn’t require their biological brain to be readily available.
I know about the Agent Wafer, but it’s temporary and requires the destruction of the original consciousness.
Does anyone know if I’m overlooking something? The Robot Handbook seems very comprehensive, and it seems strange that I’ve been unable to find the concept of the stack or cyberbrain in the book.
