  Thousands uploaded their consciousness into robotic avatars to seek a new homeworld.

  "No. Do you?"

  "Well, I know the price exceeds 100 million per individual, but they're abandoning us."

  "What'll you do, Jack?"

  "Oh, I want them to survive." Jack opened a terminal. "For humanity's sake. But this hack will make it much more interesting."
