Where's the report?

Stewart, I need an update on the HT project. You promised it would be on my desk a week ago. What's the delay?

Apologies Annette, my attention was forced elsewhere last week, but I'm back on the transferral project now. At your request, I'm pursuing this project alone, away from my usual laboratory. The facility in the Botanical Wing is workable, but sub rosa research goes slower. Regardless it's bearing fruit and I think we're very close. Early tests have been extremely successful. The issue is that we only get one chance - the transcription process destroys the organic substrate.

You can just say 'brain', Stewart. We have to conceal this from your colleagues, obviously, but that shouldn't mean we deceive ourselves.

Please, Annette, I am more aware than anyone of the implications. But this is much larger than one person. The GADD is nearly ready. If I succeed, we'll have the platform you desired - a system that responds at digital speed with human flexibility. I'll tell you when I have results. Soon.
