Five orbs of light, "breathing" slowly, materialized in mid-air.
Their form resembled human brains, but they were woven from countless Rune neural threads. Each pulse of light corresponded to the flow of data within.
[Samples One-1 through One-5, soul emergence complete.]
[Thought imprinting stability rate: 97.8%.]
[Free will deviation rate: 0.004%.]
[Recommendation: Retain Samples 3 and 4 for long-term observation. Terminate the other three.]
Of the five Rune neural networks, only two were usable.
"Zero" had produced uncontrollable free will from a single sample. In contrast, after being subjected to the equivalent of tens of thousands of high-intensity emotional storms from the real world, the thought imprinting on these two "Ones" remained firmly in place.
"Excellent."
Dozens of Golem bodies, designated for testing, were ready.
"Back up these two 'Ones' and begin the final test."
[Command confirmed.]
