-==== Device and Method ====+===== Device and Method =====
 The device for carrying out a soul transfer is typically a small helmet or visor that lowers onto the patient's head.  As soul backups are typically painful, the device is capable of sedating the patient to spare them the pain.  However, patients can choose to remain conscious through the procedure, and people who are young or have led uneventful lives usually feel less pain.  Traditional analgesics are ineffective at preventing the pain. The device for carrying out a soul transfer is typically a small helmet or visor that lowers onto the patient's head.  As soul backups are typically painful, the device is capable of sedating the patient to spare them the pain.  However, patients can choose to remain conscious through the procedure, and people who are young or have led uneventful lives usually feel less pain.  Traditional analgesics are ineffective at preventing the pain.

 It is common for people in dangerous occupations, such as the military, to make a backup copy of their mind in case they are killed. In the event of their death, their body is cloned and their mind recreated from the backup. The [[stararmy:start]] even has a special type of escape pod for mental backups, the [[stararmy:systems:soul_savior_pod]]. It is common for people in dangerous occupations, such as the military, to make a backup copy of their mind in case they are killed.

 Artificially-created brains like those of [[species:Nekovalkyrja]] have a Digital Mind which allows their brains to be scanned more easily and quickly. They also include various countermeasures like encryption which makes the actual information more difficult to obtain by an unauthorized party. Digital minds resemble computers and have file-sharing capabilities and are made to easily work with wireless communication capabilities of bodies like Nekovalkyrja and [[species:minkan|Minkan]]. Artificially-created brains like those of [[species:Nekovalkyrja]] have a Digital Mind which allows their brains to be scanned more easily and quickly.
