The line of scientists waiting to work on her project was gratifyingly large. Jianik came by and did the interviews at the main lab miles away, while Venda watched through the security systems.

The doctors all explained why they wanted to participate in the project of seeding the AI into a new body, but only one of them referred to her as a person.

Jianik caught that mention, and she turned to Dr. Remahl. “Why do you say it’s a person?”

Dr. Remahl straightened. “If it were an AI, you would not need us. The designed consciousness could be scattered throughout the bot, and it would be fine. If you are concerned with moving the entire enormous data pack, you are dealing with the theoretical size of the living brain. That would be the only reason that you are interested in all of those of us who specialize in data storage and accessing it again.”

Jianik lifted her head. “What do you think, Venda?”

“I think his work is rather interesting. Liquid metal storage would make everything easy to access. Shortcutting all the loops and curves of brain tissue.”

The doctor jolted. “It is listening?”

“She. I am female. I am listening. I have listened to all of your contemporaries prattle on, but you are the only one who clued into the fact that I am not an artificial consciousness and therefore I can’t be moved around in the same way. I have to be stored as I am. I have muscle memories for a body that doesn’t exist. I can learn how to move in a new body, but I don’t like the idea of switching around. I want to keep to myself and do what I have contracted for.”

Venda mulled it over and looked into the available supplies for someone in the service of the cluster. She flicked through the equipment and then paused. “Can you do anything like this?”

She displayed the tiny object with a hologram and then activated the vid to show that it could expand into a two-wheeled motorized cycle.

Jianik paused and looked at the display. “Would this work for you?”

“Well, the liquid expansion technology is a little weird, but it would allow me to be simply delivered to the area where I was needed, and I could expand the body from there.”

Jianik nodded. “It could certainly get you a blank body. Do you need any special structures or data installed?”

“Just a beacon to whatever type of consciousness transfer we end up using.” Venda looked at the cycle. “If it could be expanded into a human form, I think that would be a step in the right direction.”

Jianik looked to Dr. Remahl, and she nodded. “I think we are heading in a new path. Discretion is always key, and we will be watching.”

Venda felt a little bit of hope rip through her. She didn’t squash it, she let it flare and then settle. Hope felt a little odd in her new system, but it might find a place to hang out and make itself at home.
