Agreed, this was my first thought as well: any race that advanced would have the ability to upload their minds into a virtualized environment, even if for cultural reasons it was considered bad and thus emergency only. At the very least I can see why ship leadership might want some sort of final fallback in case of the worst, so word could be returned in case of disaster. This would be particularly true for ships engaging in dangerous experimentation, which is what those survivors were up to way back (trying to test out star alteration).Did they survive, or is it an AI reconstruction via the computer?
On the other hand the Jevlenese are scared shitless of the Thuriens, and they already have a frikkin spatial decompressor.Agreed, this was my first thought as well: any race that advanced would have the ability to upload their minds into a virtualized environment, even if for cultural reasons it was considered bad and thus emergency only.

If somehow they were all saved by their race through super science at the last second great, but I fear no, they didn't make it and this is just a virtual after image
I was thinking cloning myself, then recreated memories, so physical replicas instead of virtual onesAgreed, this was my first thought as well: any race that advanced would have the ability to upload their minds into a virtualized environment, even if for cultural reasons it was considered bad and thus emergency only.

Nothing good old physical torture won't solve lolHuh, so they managed to get Verikoff to confess and work with them...impressive.
