• The information. Every bit that of information that was ever in your brain. But the information is not the mind Jenna. That we've never accomplished before.

If it falls, it shatters into a million pieces. All the parts of a ball are still there, but it will never twirl with that force on your fingertip again. The brain is the same way.
