-The virtualization process unfortunately kills the original human via acute radiation poisoning. Therefore all virtualized humans have been volunteers, either from the scientific community or those on their deathbeds. Virtualized human minds also are not accustomed to the pure data form world they are injected into. Every virtual suffers from [[Virtualization Disorder|Virtualization Disorder]] and either loses coherency or self-destructs eventually. How long an individual can fend off VD depends on their original mental fortitude.+The virtualization process unfortunately kills the original human via acute radiation poisoning.

 ==== Coagulation ==== ==== Coagulation ====
Line 15: Line 15:
 Hosting several virtuals in a single environment eventually leads to coagulation, a process similar to O3 AI formation. All of the minds begin to meld into each other until their personalities become unrecognizable. The structure of the virtual’s data becomes incomprehensible, but the intellect born from it becomes resistant to VD. Intellects born this way are usually ‘feral’, and will attempt to spread itself to as many networks as possible. Closed networks of coagulated virtuals are also known as ‘Hives’, while uncontained networks are known as ‘Superhives’.  Hosting several virtuals in a single environment eventually leads to coagulation, a process similar to O3 AI formation.

 +Hives are hard to categorize with the Order of Intelligence metric since technically O3 and above hives do not reformat their constituent O2 individuals like with AI. Superhives were predicted go to as high as O4 during both virtual wars.

 Virtualization technology eventually led to [[first virtual war|The First Virtual War]], resulting in the extinction of all Virtual life with strict legislation against re-developing virtual technology. Unbeknownst to humanity at the time, several virtuals were able to project themselves into deep space, where they would eventually make contact with humanity again and start [[second virtual war|The Second Virtual War]]. Virtualization technology eventually led to [[first virtual war|The First Virtual War]], resulting in the extinction of all Virtual life with strict legislation against re-developing virtual technology.

 +Second generation Virtuals are considered human after The Second Virtual War and were integrated into society as such.
