Subject: Phase One success!
The new MMI chip is done - we have a working prototype that I'm burning Doug and Kitty's adaptive AI language onto now. It will translate impulses from the spinal cord into instructions to the cyberware; everything from motion to diagnostics, to shifting into flight mode.
Kitty and Doug - I'm still going to want to be able to call on you if I need help, but the bulk of the gruntwork is done. Someone put Doug's brain back together if we broke it.
Doctors - as soon as is feasibly possible, the MMI chip will need to be implanted before the full cybersurgery. His spinal cord will need to start transmitting to it before it can give a reliable output - similar to a brain forming instinctive engram paths in utero.
Yes, much like a stegosaurus, Jetstream's MMI chip will be like a backup brainstem located in his butt. Closer to the first iliac vertebrae, but I do digress.
Ms. Blaire: If you could contact me offlist, I have some things I need to run by you for the design of Mr. al-Rashid's cybernetics that only you have the capacity to assist with.
If anyone needs me, I will be in the gym for a few hours.
