The bones of this body must be removed.
Skin, muscle tissue, tendons and blood
Must be carved away and drained,
Catalogued and put under examination to be read and misread.
This contribution has been sacrificed to break the soul from body.
You cannot start over without taking the flesh first and then the memories.
The imprint upon the soul is left.
We cannot anticipate the outcome.
What he is depends on the imprint but, there aren't any absolutions.
I hope he will surprise us.
So much has been a failure.
What of the others that brought us to this point?
Trials, I suppose.
Spoken like a true scientist.
We should no longer be surprised at what we're willing to sacrifice.
