The Shell Game

[dale coba]

Take a human subject (willing or not), and process her with nanites.

Simultaneously, the nanites have gathered all the information needed to assemble a replica of her using components already in stock.

Before booting up, the pair are supplied with data as if they had been present at each other's (re)creation;
and important components of theirs are swapped
(half of all of their tiny pieces? or just their hard drives and pussies?).

Now, upon boot-up, who's who?
Are they one mind in wi-fi harmony?
Are they confused; in competition; in denial?

If Human is more real/superior than Fembot,
is Converted of a higher status than Built?
and what has all this manipulation done to the twins' "self"?

Follow the Queen, keep watching closely..
Q: Okay, where is she? In here? or over here?
A: She's disappeared, no longer in play.

Which is why I've dubbed this maneuver,
The Shell Game.
