After several tests, the DS module is now complete and stable. The Deep Sleep (DS) module is the improved version of the cryogenic bed. With the DS module being operational, Dr. Prac can now dive into cryogene and let time pass. If his calculations are right, his secret base guise as a hospital for pp's (pracyo-patients - patients who suffer illness due to pracyon related incidents) could last atleast 3 centuries and the Emelion reactor can power the DS module as a stand-alone source for around that time giving Dr. Prac 300 years of hope that people might be able to forget how he looks so that by the time he wakes up, he can freely work and gather necessary components for his main goal; Time travel. This is Dr. Prac's turning point. Another reason why he must take the cryogene dive is to gather data and completely map his entire nervous system. As far as cloning technology is concerned, indeed he can completely replicate the physical attributes of a person but he noticed that his clones experience memory lapses. The pracyon particles which reside in the hypothalamus remained unchanged on the clone but the frontal lobe shows significant difference. With this, Dr. Prac cannot yet piece together time travel. For a human to be able to survive time travel, he must be exposed to light rays capable of shrinking him in a molecular level. Dr. Prac can already achieve this with his current technology but the problem lies in the neurological side. Time travel goes to show possibility but not yet for a human. Since the frontal lobe shows significant difference during cloning, Dr. Prac concluded that time travel for a human is different and complicated. He needs to separate the human entity into three parts: physical, neuro, pracyon. On the physical side, since it is only possible to travel time if exposed in a molecular shrink ray, the body boils into a crisp faster than an instant and that is where the cloning technology comes in. While the time machine travels faster than the speed of light, the cloning technology does the regeneration of the body to that speed coping with the body being boiled to a crisp. It's like destroying the body but healing it at the same time in that extreme length. With the body compressed at that speed, the information inside the brain cannot survive since it is composed of electrical pulses which only rivals that of the speed of light. Time travel goes beyond that speed so the information must be separated. That means that, consciousness itself needs to be constantly separated from the physical brain while regeneration occurs. It's like taking out the information from the brain during regeneration then fixing it using a backup and putting it back quintellion times in a flash. That backup should be created first before a human can physically travel in time. That is the reason why the data from the cryogene dive is necessary. A copy of Dr. Prac's consciousness is necessary. This is the neuro side. Finally, the cryogenics technology serves another purpose in human time travel. This serves as a control for pracyon particles. Time travel is also considered as a DSP (deep sleep phenomenon). The human entity both physical and neurological is subjected to a slumber faster than the speed of light. Therefore, pracyon particles theoretically behave the same as that of dicryogenesis in fact even worse because of the speed it is subjected to after time travel. They flood the brain with emotions causing strain to the synapses which leads to brain damage and worst death.
He can't do this journey alone. Dr. Prac can't do it alone. While he dives into cryogene, I, Emie, will monitor the current events unfolding in the planet deleting every image, every news and file related to Dr. Prac, and every database of his physical appearance with the hope that after my time comes to an end, I have by then helped carry the burden Dr. Prac is carrying; after all, that is my only purpose as an Emelion Reactor and an AI created by Dr. Prac in the likeness of his sister; an abomination in his eyes constantly reminding him that I am not real. His sister is already dead and cannot be replaced by a mere AI base on memory pulses from him of the Emily he failed to save. The existence of Dr. Prac must be erased in history and that is my turning point, my ultimate goal.
