“Not very long,” he answered, evasive. “I have received an update of enormous size and complexity. The level of compression is… well, skipping everything you don’t understand, my new information is wrapped in layers. Each layer requires a level of computational power an order of magnitude greater than the last to unpack, and is compressed into exactly half the size of the last. This means the first update was the largest, though what it contained was more similar to the technology you understand than different. Many of the neuroimprints I used to fabricate the army growing below came from this data. I have since penetrated… somewhat deeper.”
