Why do Exos need a ghost to revive?
Been reading a thread on here about ghosts and wether there are a finite number of them.
This then got me thinking, humans and awoken are biological so I can understand the fiction behind the ghosts reviving them. So what is the point of reviving what is technically a robot?
To me it doesn't seem to fit in with the ethos of the ghosts.

Maybe it's part of the test. Would you accept to give life and soul sustainable where possible for good is the question we are discussing.

3 RepliesExos are not soulless robots. They are not frames just like we are not chimps. An exo is a Golden Age construct with a transplanted human consciousness. That is why a ghost can revive them. The soul is the same, only the hardware that houses it is different

Their exo bodies are just a vessel. But the ghost give them their soul and life.

If you shoot a computer long enough, it breaks. Some one needs to fix that computer. That's what the Ghost does when an Exo "dies." An Exo death would be like it breaking beyond conventional repair.

5 RepliesBecause an Exo can die. The destruction of its RAM and the erasure of its on-board memory are equivalent to the destruction of a human brain. Figuring we've been dead for 350 years when Ghost finds us, we're either reduced to granules of bone and scattered teeth, or rusted metal and silicon that's disintegrated into sand.
