THE
REBORN VIRGIN QUEEN - The Baron
Heinrich Richtohofen, John
Storm and Hal,
the AI onboard the Elizabeth
Swann, agree that Cleopatra is entombed underwater in
her former Palace at Alexandria.
In this
section Franco
Francisco and Klaus von Kolreuter work together with a
team of support staff to replicate queen Cleopatra from
a 3D printed biopolymer sponge in the form of her skeleton
and other essential body parts, including a skin mesh, laced
with stem cells and supplied with nutrients, in a machine
that looks a bit like a metal sarcophagus, but is called a
RepliVator.
Once
growth is at an advanced stage, Klaus conditions her brain
synapses, and when that is complete, uploads digitally
re-created memory implants, so that the reincarnated Pharaoh
recalls some of the most importance events during her life.
She is then kept in a duplicate of her Mausoleum, until she
is needed for the ceremonial joining of her blood with the
blood of Baron
Heinrich Richthofen, in a special ceremony, to be
conducted on Egyptian soil.
