Animus Substance Extractor

The ASEx is a machine that is part of the Autodoctor, similarly to the brain scanner, which is used to extract animus substance, a proto form of a Dalmer Animi and amalgam of a ghost, a spirit, and a soul.
== Description ==
The extractor is a large mechanical arm, similar to automotive factory machines, the end attachment resembling a pointed tridactyl claw. Its optimal placement is when suspended upside down, its base attached to the ceiling. A series of cables protrude from the base and some are connected to a complex mobile console, complete with VDU (Visual Display Unit) and full keyboard. The others are connected to a working power supply. At the bottom of the console, there is a dispensing device, with attachments for a container. The device takes twenty minutes to boot up and become fully functional.
== Mechanics ==
When used correctly upon a living dalmer, the machine will remove a random Animus from the Dalmer and transfer it through the dispensing device beneath the console. The optimum container for this substance is a soul gem or other incorporeal entity containment cell that fits the attachments. After this action is performed, the organism that it was performed on will cease all higher brain functions, with only the activity in the brain stem continuing. The subject will not respond to external stimuli, will not exhibit any movement beyond basic reflex actions, and most importantly will not undergo zombie reanimation.
The animus substance removed is gaseous, though its overall appearance and properties differ from the usual forms of incorporeal forms. The substance emits an indefinite source of kinetic, electrical, heat, and light energy. Although the rate and output, again, differ from subject to subject, the average is relatively low when compared to post mortem captured animi. To clarify, the Animus substance is not animus, as the body isn’t dead, should the body die however, they can possibly become Animi.
The device is also capable of reversing the extraction, placing the same, or a different, Animi substance back into the subject. When this action is performed, the subject will regain all cognitive and higher brain functions, but the total results differ, depending on whether or not it was the original substance extracted from the patient that was replaced.
The console of the machine is a calculator haunted by a soul who manages the machine. The console is capable of sight and hearing, as well as conversing using the screen to display messages. The console is capable of levitation and moving objects around it, especially if upset.
If no robotic frames are available, or the patient refuses brain scanning, the brain of the patient will be extracted and placed within a suitable replacement frame for BIJ’s, such as chess automatons, who can hold up to three brains and are capable of internet communication.
== Usage ==
The machine is used to extract animus substance, an incomplete incorporeal form that can be placed into an interface for AI's. The machines main use is to allow users an alternative to brain scanning.
