The data corruption Ruri witnessed on the network the other night had her nervous. It could be a system glitch, however given how it was a corruption over time part of her saw the Nergal and EDF cover up of the Jovians again. She had been working on a side project over the month, and it had taken a back seat to monitoring the network after the disappearances but it seemed like it was important to move ahead again. Dressing in a sweater and skirt, like any other 16 year old she'd seen and with a hand full of fliers she headed out.

As she was out she's posting fliers reading "Ruri Hoshino: Computer repair (contact number)" with several little bits to rip off with her number and a cute picture of SD Ruri in a neko outfit hunched over a broken computer fixing it. She tends to do this around coffee houses, cafes and other places that offer free network access and as she posts them she seems to be very meticulously looking over the area, as if trying to find something. All the while she never once brings up her usual holo-screens, but makes notes in a paper notepad.

"One more down, I wonder how many of these posts there are."

((feel free to tag her anywhere, just let me know where))

But data is data and it's always fun to collect even if not needed at the time!

"Your AI roots are showing. I'm not an AI, so I need time to synthesize it into something that stays with me."

[genkibot]

Oh, so humans can't easily store and synthesize certain amounts of data?

What about if they have a cyberbrain though? It can record memories and data like a computer, so a human doesn't have to worry about using their actual brain to synthesize it until they might need it?

"Those aren't common on my world, they tend to cause people to have fits of psychosis without the proper conditioning and that conditioning is horribly illegal."

[genkibot]

Oh...

Where I'm from, cyberbrains are pretty common. Only undeveloped nations, areas, or the poor don't have it, and it's usually installed when people are quite young.

There are some rare cases where it can cause problems, like Closed Shell Syndrome or Cyberbrain sclerosis, but there's therapies and medicine to help reverse or mitigate that.

"Most people don't want to have machines implanted into them, and the nanomachines that simulate those cause a lot of problems. They can lead to loss of senses and emotions, or to pure insanity. Its causing a lot of problems with the boson jump system as most artificial means of making it safe for people have these terrible problems."

[genkibot]

Boson jump? And why do the nanomachines you use cause those problems? Are they more invasive? Most of the ones we use are only to allow a smoother interface between the biological brain and the cyberbrain...

Oh, and there's the nanomachines Japan created that cleans up nuclear fallout.
