Dedicated archive
A distinct environment for digital personality constructs rather than general-purpose storage.
Protected infrastructure for the storage and management of digital personality constructs.
Mikoshi is Arasaka's engram archive environment, not a consumer device. It provides the protected digital infrastructure in which personality constructs can be retained and managed, separate from the biochip that carries a construct.
Protected access
Archive operations are separated from public networks and ordinary consumer interfaces.
Platform relationship
Mikoshi retains the archive; Relic carries a construct into a neural interface.
Archive infrastructure and access policies are not interchangeable with Relic biochip functionality. Public material describes their relationship, not internal security procedures.
The infrastructure behind a legacy.
The next phase of Arasaka's archive program places continuity at the scale of the institution. Purpose-built facilities and specialized research teams support a platform intended to endure beyond any single generation.
System relationship
Distinct roles. Connected technology.
01 / Representation
Soulkiller
The technology associated with producing a digital personality construct.
02 / Archive
Mikoshi
The protected infrastructure in which engrams are stored and managed.
03 / Interface
Relic
The biochip that carries a construct and provides a neural connection.
Inside Arasaka
Retention is not release.
The archive and the point of interaction are different parts of the engram environment. A construct retained within Mikoshi is not the same thing as the cartridge presented at a consultation. In the group's custody model, movement, access, and authority are recorded separately. A preserved personality raises a question no storage diagram can settle: who should be allowed to speak for it?
