Undeterred, and against Chioma's wishes, Maya repeated the test with brain-dead Exos whose minds had been wiped during initial contact with the Veil, placing them in the Veil interface in lieu of biological human participants. In doing so, she reversed the machine's function: whereas previously the system was designed to have a single "conductor" guiding an "orchestra" of participants as they communed with the Veil, this new approach directed data from the assembled Exos into a central recipient. For unknown reasons, Maya had also provided her own mental imprint during the test, to be overlaid on that of the central Exo recipient. | Undeterred, and against Chioma's wishes, Maya repeated the test with brain-dead Exos whose minds had been wiped during initial contact with the Veil, placing them in the Veil interface in lieu of biological human participants.

The receiving test subject in this experiment was Lakshmi-2, who had undergone brain death like all the other Exos brought on the mission. The experiment resulted in Lakshmi awakening, but with her mind having become either a total or partial copy of Maya's, speaking with Maya's voice and possessing some of her memories. | The receiving test subject in this experiment was Lakshmi-2, who had undergone brain death like all the other Exos brought on the mission.

Chioma was deeply discomforted by Lakshmi, referring to her as "it" and claiming she looked at Chioma like she knew something Chioma didn't.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woNYh2TPILA</ref> | ||
