Myelin Sheath Remnants

Axon insulation and routing—possibly as a last resort. He flags the one viable sample.

Cerebellar Purkinje Cell

Motor memory—no. Oh, here’s one.

Prefrontal Cortex Tissue

Possible identity-relevant NAM storage. He flags the identifier, noting three viable samples. That’s it? He takes a deep breath.Moving on.

Enteric Nervous System Tissue

Gut brain—no, flagging for incorrect categorization.

Olfactory Bulb Tissue

No, for obvious reasons. His heart jolts as his eyes land on the next sample. Jackpot!

Hippocampal Tissue

If anything will work, it’s the hub for memory formation. He flags the identifier—only two viable samples? Fuck. That can’t be it. He keeps scanning until finally landing on the last sample.

Axonal Segment

It doesn’t specify what brain region, but if that’s what worked to bring Electra back, he’ll pull the four listed samples.

The synthesized DNA will likely fail, but it’s worth a shot. Then only ten viable samples? His stomach clenches. Experiments sometimes take hundreds of trials, or in rare cases, thousands. Electra woke up swearing on the first attempt using her DNA. Granted, that success only came after dozens of failures from both the control and experiment groups.

Lextr comes to stand behind him. On the particle pane is a materials request addressed to the lead technician Bexly, his organic assets custodian who’s responsible for biological material preservation, including CHOICElover’s entire DNA stores.
