I had a moment of ‘why didn’t I just make a new Core and use it’, but I had to shake that thought off. I knew that the Core below was a perfect replica of myself before my Core was demolished. Anything that I made on the fly would simply be subpar and likely to be destroyed by the forces I would need to bring to bear on it. I couldn't trust my shaky hands and human frailty to design a container for my mind and soul. Too dangerous, and I really wasn't trying to disparage myself.
