"From what I can tell, a little of both. I know some people from Togusa's world that had full cybernetic prostheses." A small huff of unamused laughter. "It's the strangest way to think about it. But the entire body was inorganic, except for the material part of the brain, augmented by the micromachines and then encased in a shell, so that it could be moved from body to body."

"It's not foolproof, I remember a case where the other Togusa figured out that a cyberbrain switch had happened, someone had put their brain in the body of a councilman to try to get information."

"But other people will be mostly cybernetic, and have the full brain conversion, but still have organic parts to themselves. Just haven't gotten around to replacing them yet." His voice starts to sound cynical.

He hasn't noticed, but the traitorous screens have absolutely betrayed him as he speaks. The five men mostly unfamiliar to Tatsuo are appearing on the screens. (Haven't they popped up in one of Mariko's dreams?)

But it's impossible to ignore the woman standing with them, purple hair, red eyes, and all.
