Death is Just an Upgrade

Started as a project to digitally mimic 100% a human's behaviour, the Virtual Soldier research program is getting more funding to accomplish its mission, and go beyond :

"In particular, the contract calls for the VSR team to further develop their "Predictive Dynamics" tools for use in calculating human motion in a military environment. Invented by VSR researchers, the field of Predictive Dynamics already has made a significant impact on the field of human motion simulation by making it possible -- for the first time ever -- to calculate the walking and running involved in human gait when given such variables as human body size, strength, weight, load-carrying abilities and clothing effects."

Next, Santos will find himself exposed to radiation, blown up on pieces, getting hit by a truck, or pretty much anything that you would never get the chance to -- legally -- expose a living human to, for testing purposes.
