Soulkiller is less of Alt trying to attain e-mortality, and more of her testing computer science by pushing the boundaries and seeing if she can break through to the other side by willpower alone. There’s nothing malicious in her intent. Even though the principle of killing someone's body and putting their essence, their personality, their digitized self onto the NET is as evil as it sounds, is it really when you have the chance to never fade away? Permanently online, dead irl, conscious enough to speak, never having the chance to experience the human’s pitfalls?
What if Alt’s research was less on creating this evil entity and more on developing this anarchic mode of love that’s not dependent on technology and upgrades that literally cost an arm and a leg to use and experience?
