Her creator had done a good job on that front. Ironically.
Example: one phase of the peripheral systems check involved collecting the uploaded data that had been deposited on the satellite network by her agent system, the onboard computer within the Cawthorne rapid response unit.
Is this why it felt like no time had passed – the data, the memories, from the Cawthorne hadn’t been downloaded to the backup yet?
Agent system seems like a good term for a system that lets her go out to do stuff.
Her last recollection was of transferring her consciousness to the agent system while it was en route to deal with the Undersiders. Stopping them from walking away with the tier 2 and tier 3 confidential data was high priority.
In other words, she’s an AI who can be copied (since there are backups to restore from), but it seems only one copy of her can be active at a time, and if she wants to control an agent system directly, the active copy needs to be transferred. This is starting to make sense.
The agent system’s onboard computer was rigged to upload complete backups to the satellite every 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
Seems reasonable. Shame the battle was really quick, then, despite how many chapters it took.
Let’s hope it more continually uploads memory data, at least, so she can remember what happened once she actually downloads that.
All backup information was encrypted and disseminated to the satellite network in chunks. When the backup was needed, the process reversed and everything was downloaded, which was what she was doing at the moment. She would get all knowledge and recollection of events between the time she backed up at the core system and the last backup of the agent system.
Ah, that makes sense. Though there’s a risk she won’t remember the last few moments, then.
