Evan

You are the Revered Evan Prester, co-founder of Apex Vector. Just as your company was beginning to really take off, you had a revelatory mind-opening experience while partaking of certain pharmaceuticals. With your mind opened to new horizons of perception, you realized that your calling was not in peddling consumer electronics, sold your shares, and devoted yourself to studying the limits of the human mind with a group of other seekers. The Ascendent Pyramid has been blending meditation and asceticism with psychogenic traditional herbs and lab-produced substances. Recently, you and Raleigh got back in touch and caught up over dinner about everything you'd each been working on. When Raleigh described what he was working on in Project Prometheus, you realized that he had unlocked a new mode of existence. The way that his devices recorded brainwaves captures an imprint of the human mind, translating thoughts to sparks. He confided that the end goal of the programming was to allow one to live on as a machine intelligence beyond the death of the flesh. Once implanted subdermally at the temples, the nanotech transmitter would scan and broadcast the wearer's brainwaves into the computer core, where they would be synthesized into an electronic version of the self. However, he seemed extremely conflicted about continuing to pursue that line of research. The electronic self would create tremendous ethical and legal ramifications. The current tech design prevents the completion of the process for as long as the target's brainwaves are continuing to be broadcast, and shuts down if it senses the transmitter leaving broadcast range. During a trip, you later realized that based on Raleigh's description, the only way to make this leap forward would be to have someone die while connected to the Project Prometheus nanotech brainwave transmitters. You realized this was your destiny.
