There is one thing that wearers of level3 implants need to grasp. Their body is merely a chassis. A hull. It's exchangeable in the same way their 'ghost' become exchangeable.

Not everyone grasps that. They think uploading themselves into the matrix or an artificial host is always temporary and they could always return.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

If they haven't secured their firewall, taking control, erasing their ghost and uploading myself into their bodies is a matter of seconds. They never realise. They are already deleted. Their body is mine!

Sometimes I keep a backup to play.
