Brain Scanning

Brain scanning is the act of creating a perfect copy of a sentient beings personality, known as an uploaded conscience or UC. 
Turning an organic being into a digital conscience is known as composing. 
Brain scans cause fatal damage to the Dalmer who undergoes the scan, who now lives its life as a program. UC’s of Dalmer are considered Dalmer, but those of other races are not. Brain scanning other races is fatal, and only leads to partial scanning of the subjects personality (as seen in the saga of the Sun of Fluxus) but there are frequent occurrences of children of the other races surviving the operation, as observed by the Bleakers. Brain scanning is the Dalmer alternative to medicine, as integration into a mechanical rig rids them of all physical ills. Dalmer who are too sick are brain scanned and their bodies sterilized to prevent epidemics, although some prefer to die of the sickness by living as hermits.
Digital conscience transference is a kind of brain scanning technology developed by Sable Reflexions. 
Improper use of brain scanning, in particular by non medical AI constructs can lead to horrifying results, such as the GEL debacle
Sentvi are sentient vehicles with onboard brain scanners and pearl generators, in order to power themselves they capture sentient creatures to brain scan them, the incomplete personalities serving as their power and means of reproduction. 
Blanks are synthetic bodies that can be operated by uploaded consciousnesses using UC holders.
Uploaded consciousness holder a technology designed to hold the UC created from a brain scan. 
==== National brain scan array ====
Used to make colossal soul gems. They require large scale brain scans at strategic areas of the array to pre ignite the nationwide array. When the pre ignition is complete, the array is activated, and the nation is brain scanned, and the UC’s are transferred to robotic frames. The Dalmer EK can do this for emergency troops. The victims are expected to be compensated in full for the crime.
