>>>>>[Not too long, really. We can keep the brain alive and active by
utilizing his datajack to keep him in touch with reality and to tell him
exactly what is going to happen to him. I can have a surgeon relatively
quickly, although he hasn't done a full cranial removal before. Basically, we
let the body die as we pull the cerebellum from the braincase and cut the
spinal vertebra and disks away from the spinal cord. And we have to VERY
carefully sever the spinal nerves from... Well, that' really all details that
only the surgeon really need to know. And I've found the Op Theatre for the
operation. Slash had set up a place for his friend Alex Jackson, before his
death, where he could perform headware implantation. It isn't designed for
full bodily replacements or large scale nutrient tank work, but by noon it
could be converted(I've been working on it all weekend) over to serve the
purpose. But I need the operational devices, and I can't make them myself.
After surgery, we can keep Masque alive almost indefinately, albiet a pretty
uneventful life, but we will have time to aquire them then. What is Masque's
condition and stability, as well as bodily mass and**include data questions
from file**. That's easier than asking them all in real time... I can be back
"on-line" as you say, in little over 24 hours, and we can begin the process of
the operation before then, at about 20 hours. Just so long as the nutrient vat
is operational as soon as the operation is finished.]<<<<<

rest of this stuff***include list*** and the people to implement it in a
location who's exact whereabout really shouldn't ever be known, then we can
cut that down...]<<<<<
