Deadlocked Council deliberations over the fate of Ambassador Sygan ended today with a surprising twist: the Council will grant asylum to the virtual alien emissary in the body of a volunteer, allowing famed MIT exobiologist Dr. Jordan Detweiler to return to his own body. Ambassador Sygan will transfer her consciousness into the volunteer’s body, while the volunteer’s consciousness is downloaded into a computer. Upon hearing this decision, some 400 individuals from various races have volunteered to “swap places” with aliens inside the virtual world who wish to re-join the physical universe. One asari volunteer regarded this as “an amazing opportunity to explore a new realm of existence,” while a salarian volunteer said, “I’m doing it because I’m tired of our universe. It’s a mess.”
