I thought we did that because we were gonna follow him to a drug deal. Oh well, let's try and get some upgrades...
We should try to find a way to miniaturise that chair the copies and pastes someone's skills and knowledge.
We can do that by making a specialised symbite that enters into the brain, folds itself around it, and absorbs its hosts memories.
After that, it'll just go into our own brain and transmit the information to us.
The problem here is that in order to reconcile the vast differences in experiences as well as to maintain our sense of self and not be taken over by a different we'll need to upgrade our brain.
To do this, we'll take a brain symbite, have it absorb our memories, then we'll make some other symbites to replace our brain with a new "blank" brain more efficient than our old one, and then the memory symbite will upload our old brain's memories, persionalities, etc. into the new blank brain and then the process will be complete!
The one problem that could occur is that the memory symbite will run out of energy and dissolve before the brain reconstruction symbites are completed.
To that end, we should buy some materials and create an out-of-body symbite recharge station and teach Nicolette how to use it.
Once we have that done, we ought to test out our brain-copying method using an unwitting gangster (minus the 'more efficient' part).

Work on the mind leech is slow, it's more than just a single simple symbite, but a complicated inter linked network of living parts, a full symbioses.
Its taken you three days to produce, but finally it's ready.
Floating in a pool of nutrients, it look almost misguidedly simple, a long thin with a limp net of milky white membrane hanging at each end like a loose gaping mouth.
A fist sized gelatinous sack pulsates gentry beside it, the brain, well a new part of it anyway.
"So that's it? just one little squid? its going to do all that?" Nicolette sounds less than impressed.
"Yep just one little squid. im probably not going to be to do much while this does it's thing.
So that why i need you to look after it and me while it works."
-------------
The symbite is slick and slimey in your hand, limp as slowly pulsating as you guide it towards your nose.
As the tip of it enters your nose, it starts to move, wiggleing upwards it feels like your trying to pick your nose useing your thumb.
Thick slime drips from your nose as it disappears inside.
For a long moment nothing happens then your body goes limp as you collapse in a heap...
-------------------
A ping echoes and reverberates like a sledgehammer blow as you awaken.
You try to pull the sheets from your eyes only to be meet with nothing, try as you might your body sits there limp.
Panic grips as your helplessness dawns on you
"Susan! What the hell's going on? why the f**k can't i move? where the bloody hell is everbody?" you mentally roar in panic and anger.
"Evidenty the symbite has only half completed it job, there's a disconnect some where and your body still on auto pilot leaveing you
like this.
Shush, there some one coming, we need to hear what thay have to say."A lift door rattles in the distance and a pair of foot steps echo down the hallway.
"The Jane doe is over this way officer." these a professional and sombre tone to the voice.
The door clicks open as the two men enter.
"Our mystery lady, a member of the public phoned her in 3 days ago, found her unconscious by the road side.
Here's the sheet, late teens to mid 20's, five foot nine, medium build, blond hair and green eyes.
Ring any bells?"
"Sadly no, she got any identifying marks? tattoos, maybe a birth mark?, any thing we could identify her with?"
Dull red flashs bombard you as a camera shutter clicks.
"Thats all the photos i need, so i'll have lab boys run her prints, and in couple of weeks forensics should have an answer.
Still they have there work cut out, she has no prints on the upper two fingers and thumb of left hand.
Doc, you tell me if theirs any changes at your end and i'll see you then if not before."
The door clicks shut and you are alone again.
Time pass slowy as you sit, frozen in place.
All of a sudden your limbs start to trash wildy as your body spasms uncontrollably.
As suddenly as it began the spasms stop and a wave of numbness and tingling washes over you.
"And that would be the symbite finishing it job, take it now."
Standing up beside a hospital bed, you feel the last of numbness fade away as your body responds once again.
-------------
A half hour and reverse charge call later and your out of the hospital and back with Nicolette, in a hotel room.
"So that's the last thing i remember, what a bout you? what happened after i blacked out?" you ask Nicolette as you devourer a secound slice of pizza.
"What happend? that b****d Tuco double crossed us!
I went out to deal with them and by the time i got back you where gone."
"when you got back! where the F**k! did you go?" Nicolette squirms a little in her seat as you ask her.
"I don't know, every just went red and next thing i know there's hair in my teeth and blood every where."
"Look lets not dwell on the past, when we can have our revenge.
I know where Tuco going to be, he has a meeting set up and arranged for tomorrow.
"Where? he's mine."
"Down town hotel, penthouse sweet.
There's some comic film thing on, so i've planed our cover.
Her i hope this is your size." Nicolette passes you a bag.
