: Obviously if everyone could be resurrected from PB's, there would be no point
: in killing your enemy. I have to give Bungie a lot of credit for working
: the saved game mechanism into the plot, unlike Halo where it's clearly a
: game-oriented device, but they missed the boat in explaining how this
: works. If it were truly a matter of resurrecting yourself from your saved
: pattern, you would resume the action where you left off, stepping over
: your dead body and going on to fight from the point where you were killed
: but not remembering how you got there. This isn't what happens. Let's go
: out on a limb here to try and make things fit. Let's suppose that both the
: UESC and the Pfhor have discovered Jjaro technology that makes it possible
: for anyone to save their pattern for emergency backup. The saved pattern
: can't prevent you from being killed or resurrect you from the dead, but it
: can be used to restore yourself from your saved state if you are mortally
: wounded - i.e. it's a medical device of last resort. We'll assume that it
: needs a living body to work, even if barely, so that it cannot confer
: immortality in and of itself. When it encounters a being with an implanted
: Jjaro cybernetic junction, however, it does more - it not only saves their
: pattern but establishes a link to that cybernetic junction. Should the
: being be killed, the PB downloads their memories from the cybernetic
: junction and beams them back in time to the moment the being last accessed
: the PB. This is an unintended consequence from the standpoint of the
: humans and Pfhor only - it is exactly what the Jjaro had intended.
After being killed, COULD you be teleported back to the pattern buffer, where all the damaged parts of you are replaced while still keeping as much of you intact as possible, thereby insuring your past memories are preserved and that YOU are the same YOU rather than a copy?
