Quoted By:
“No, my lord. Tetak's consciousness has essentially been flung out into deep space. It could be anywhere- not just in this galaxy, even, but anywhere in the universe. Starsight requires ones one sense of direction and navigation, it requires landmarks like any other form of travel. His mind-self could be within the dark space between galaxies for all we know- totally unable to find its way back. It could search for hundreds of thousands of years or more without any way to find his way back home- back to his own body. This is a true and permanent death sentence- <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Absolute Disassociation</span></span>.”
<span class="mu-b">”This is absurd. The consciousness is rooted in the brain. It cannot be “separated” from it. The existence of a soul is not proven and is an Anti-social belief.”</span>
Radjo stiffens his lip.
“I know that, My Lord. I make no statement contrary. But that is not the issue here. It is as though his eyes, still connected to his brain, were thrown miles and miles away. The rest of him is rotting away while he slithers through the grass, trying to find his way back and beset by predators. He has already lost ten percent of his body weight- he is in a constant panic. He sleeps when he is exhausted, but is constantly overwhelmed and overloaded. He is in a panic that never ends; and even drugs to try and calm him don't stop his brain from destroying itself. He is elsewhere, and will remain that way until his brain is turned off. I don't want him to suffer anymore.”
What should you do?
>Euthanize him, at his friends request
>Keep him alive for study
>Gather a group of your strongest Starseers and see if they can bring him back
