Relic

Relic is an interface and component of Arasaka's experimental, flagship project publicly known as "Secure Your Soul." It uses the concept of personality transferal by converting the data in the human nervous system into a digitized engram and stored as a construct on the Relic biochip. The purpose of "Secure Your Soul" is the ability – currently only available to the wealthiest clients – to communicate with deceased loved ones. Their personality constructs, which are preserved on the Relic biochip mean that in practice, death is no longer the ultimate barrier. However, it doesn't take a genius to realize that the potential for the Relic technology is much higher – Arasaka currently is not sharing any information on its further plans for the program.
