Rhyser Project

The Rhyser Project is an effort based on the Razimoff Project to functionally make sabarus alphas immortal by transferring their consciousnesses, memories, and personalities to a new body when the old one becomes too damaged.
It is common knowledge that sabarus alphas are only as immortal as their bodies can be maintained. Many of them consequently have a culture of non-violence and avoiding taking life -- they are extremely conscious of the fragility of life, especially because most sabarus alphas do not believe in an afterlife for alphas, and thus there is a sentiment of "Everyone only has one life; do not be the one to take it from someone".
In drastic cases, the nature of sabarus alphas' design can result in a body too damaged beyond repair while the internal processors of the alpha remain conscious and working. There have been instances of a sabarus alpha losing all of its body save for the critical sections in the chestplate. (Sabarus alphas do not have anything but "neural lines" elsewhere in their body, as limbs and heads are too easily broken to store anything vital there.) However, once those processors are too damaged, the sabarus alpha functionally dies.
The Rhyser Project intends to be a database where sabarus alphas can store their consciousnesses. If they are lines of code being rewritten and being manipulated by Chrono, then surely they can replicate themselves into a new body if the current one is destroyed. As its name suggests, it is based in Rhyser City, a large city located in Rackina, but the project has experienced setbacks since its inception in the 4200s.
==History==
The Rhyser Project, or anything like it, did not exist during the Millennial Calm because there was seen to be little point; alphas generally had a culture of "If we are people, so too must we die eventually". They had very long lifespans, however, due to how accessible repairs, resources, and so on were for them. Many of them could live to be hundreds of years old if they desired. Following the Godbomb, though, such resources and accessible repairs became scarce to nonexistent, and certain models of sabarus alphas found themselves without any hope of being repaired because the means to fix them was lost in the apocalypse entirely. This set a fear of mortality in many sabarus alphas, and they sought a solution to this seemingly fixable problem.
