[It's not so bad a guess, particularly given the era Jarvis is from. Of course there's no way to be sure of the true motive; even anything the Atroma reveal would be suspect. But theorizing seems a dangerous necessity, to at least attempt some measure of being prepared.]

There is, in my time and universe, technology that achieves similar results--including allowing one consciousness to enter another. [Just as with so many things on the fleet, Rip finds himself in a position of seeing both the likenesses and the differences.] There's quite a bit more set up involved, and it's certainly nowhere near as compact, but--

The calibrations did indeed seem a great deal like what is known as "cognitive intrusion" where I'm from.

... How terrible.

This sort of technology, it's not good in any hands, as far as I'm concerned.

[He sighs softly, crossing his arms, expression soft and worried.]

I wish I knew what we could do. I feel rather helpless as I am, and I know the feeling isn't mine alone.
