Yet indeed. This is something that you've previously stated is possible.
Unification, Chapter 3, Fel wrote:[If we build everything you need, could you transfer yourself to the hardware of another CBIM? I mean, if we move your core memory to new hardware, would you be able to make the move?]
She was silent for a surprisingly long time. [An…intriguing idea,] she noted. [My core isn’t designed to be moved out of this facility, but it is designed to be mobile, which is why I can withdraw myself into the mantle. I was the only CBIM built with such a feature, which makes my core more, ah, modular than other CBIM cores were. I believe that it just might be possible, if my entire core module, the part of me I withdraw into the mantle, is moved as one, I have extensive remote transceivers to maintain connection to my non-core systems during the move, and I do not lose power. If that can be done, then yes, I believe I could be moved to Karsa without harm. I’m not sure if such an engineering feat could be accomplished, though.]
[But, if I find a way to do it, would you be amenable to being moved to Karsa and being placed in a more powerful system? I’m serious, Cybi, I won’t accept another CBIM. I want you.]
[Your loyalty to me is touching, Jason,] she communed with warmth. [Yes, I would be willing to try, but not until there is another CBIM online. I will take no chances that an accident destroys me while I am the last CBIM in operation.]
[Alright then, we build a CBIM in Kosigi first, then we move you to Karsa. Now, on to the other question, which I believe will make you see how this is possible. What if I said I wanted a CBIM installed in the Aegis? Could it be done?]
She was quiet a moment. [Yes, I see where you’re going, Jason, and I’m impressed,] she answered brightly. [Yes, the Aegis would have enough power and is big enough to accommodate a CBIM. You’d have to install another singularity plant just for the CBIM, but a CBIM could definitely be installed in the Aegis. It could be installed in a battleship as well, a battleship would be able to hold one. But anything smaller than a battleship would not.]
The Interdictors can be overcome or circumvented. Karis needs more CBIMs hooked up to Generations for a near insurmountable defence or House Karinne needs to become completely mobile. Becoming mobile seems safer, long-term IMO.
