Tidbit Glitch Discovery #20

One thing that’s been bugging me: how did the makers of the Genesis simulation get survivor minds from throughout history? It’s hard enough to scan a living mind with their cutting-edge technology, but how did they get minds from the 19th century -- and Helena had friends going back to the 3rd century? I did a spot of research just now, and it turns out that there’s something called an “engrammic matrix” that persists in the human brain after death. If the conditions are just right and that matrix gets preserved, scientists can scan it, even centuries later. What I don’t want to know is how many bodies they dug up to get those matrices. There are limits to even my curiosity.
