Last time I heard those two words next to each other I was at a conference for the preservation of human life. The "memory upload" guys were even bigger dreamers than our cryo team, since we'd at least cracked the chemistry.
Took discovering and plundering the remains of an alien civilisation to make it happen where I'm from, so those guys were probably never going to crack it.
Shit, though, I don't have much more to say than "wow". Necromancy does a lot with the soul - shorthand for the energy that holds the innate personality of a body, beyond just the life force. We've learned theorems to preserve it after death, to move it to a new body, to combine multiple souls into one body... but never to stash it on an alien USB stick. Are you still you when it comes out? Or is there some white guy named James waiting?
Interesting that you spotted that. Yeah, he asked me to stash it inside him. Which is easy enough. The hard bit is convincing the body it's allowed to stay.
[Takeshi doesn't know emojis and wouldn't use them if he did, but the mental impression of "message acknowledged" might as well be the equivalent of a thumbs up emote.]

Does that make you, what. An AI? Or were you born in a different body? Or is it a just in case kind of thing.

I'd offer to let you try it and see, but I haven't seen any life support tech around here.

Don't worry, if I gave a shit I would've done something about it already.
I'm at the brothel for the foreseeable.
