I still don't buy it. I dont see why they couldnt take a next step forward
from real-time recording into scanning and pulling memores at faster than
realtime, which would then run in reverse into the clone.
hmmm. consider this: it might requrire the equivalent of a specialized
encephalon & Datajack. (twice normal $ cost on the Enceph, only useable for
the memory read/write) on both ends, but this seems to fall into described
abilities of the Encep.
