High Frequency Personality Merger (Level 5)

By Anders Sandberg

This is a rather unremarkable booth made of beige plastic, with a small control console on the inside. When activated by someone inside, the molecular bonds in his body are neutralized and he is held together by a field of neutrinos. When he leaves the booth, the field will collapse as soon as he touches somebody else with a personality (it is unknown what will happen if he touches a spirit, an animal or intelligent computer). The two persons merge into one, with the skills, memories and personalities of both. Usually the merged person will be rather confused, trying to do several things at once, loudly arguing with himself etc. (this can be ameliorated with Mind 1, multitasking). A small problem is that the merger cannot take merged persons apart...

[ The merged person will have the best rating of any of its constituent persons in any ability. Appearance and personality will be an mixture of the constituents.]
