Description

In the depths of Mt. Hideaway sat a supercomputer. But unlike most supercomputers, this one's U was organic.

This machine ran hundreds to thousands of calculations per hour, analyzing data and making predictions about how experiments may end. But no silicon-based U in the world could process that amount of data fast enough. The solution was a little lower-tech and horrific: use a living brain as the central processor.

The logic was that while a brain is indeed at least one hundred times slower than a U, it is far less constrained by limits on how many processes it can run simultaneously or in parallel. The major flaw in the logic is the functional life span of a brain and the specialized hardware to keep it alive. They needed a brain from someone of a species that theoretically could actually live for more than a century.

This is where Diana came in.

Diana was a secretary for the lead researcher at the facility. When the bombs began to fall, the government ordered the facility to enact a protocol and activate a project called "Van Buren". Diana was picked out among the lower staff to be integrated into the supercomputer, so the researchers made certain that she'd be the last one to evacuate. She was capture and sedated fifty yards from the exit.

The project demanded two elements, a mobile platform and a stationary one. With time being in short supply, the researchers opted to just surgically decapitate Diana rather than remove her brain. This required modifying the mounting hardware to for her entire head and cutting a hole in her skull as well so they could access her brain and hook it up. But they had to copy her memories and personality parameters to another machine before they could wipe her brain to a blank slate for the project.

The rest of Diana's body was given complex cybernetic augmentations to keep it alive and mobile. This became the E.D.A, or Experimental Divination Assistant. Its purpose was to record data and bring it to the supercomputer to be processed...

But 200 some-odd years is a very long time. Diana began to find cracks in her digital prison, allowing her to communicate to the outside world through the terminals connected to her. This was invaluable once a certain naked Meowstic found a way into the chamber... Now she had a means to ask someone for help in reuniting mind, head, and body and ending her personal hell...

    I had to use google to get an idea of what that is. So maybe? Afterward I had the term "cyborg Dullahan" floating around in my head.
