I thought momentarily before replying, "Oh, that mad scientist. When I was in college, I heard rumours that he had discovered some way to preserve human bodies, but no one knows where he is now. Is he alive or dead?"

Then she showed me his daughter Aditi's body and said, "This is my project."

I was taken aback. "What? If you have your daughter, why did you make the world believe that she was missing for 15 years? "

She sighed deeply before responding, "My daughter was very sick, and she was going to die. But then, I heard about Dr Price's discovery, and I knew that I had to try it. He used his technology to preserve my daughter's body, but I wanted to make her truly alive again. I have been trying for the past 15 years but have failed. That's why I need your help."

I didn't know what to say. It was a shocking revelation, and I didn't know how to process it.

"But what about Dr Price? Is he still alive?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No one knows. He disappeared shortly after he helped me. But his discovery lives on, and now my daughter can live on too."

"Wait, so you have Dr Price's technology?" I asked, trying to clarify the situation.

"Yes," she replied. "He used it to preserve my daughter's body, but I need to use science and AI to bring her back to life."

I nodded, starting to understand the situation better. "But why didn't you reveal this to the world? Everyone thinks that Dr Price's discovery is just a rumour."

She looked down, her eyes sad. "I wanted to, but I knew that people wouldn't understand. They would think I was crazy and try to take my daughter away from me."

I could see the pain in her eyes and realized how much this project meant to her. "Do you want to show the world that this technology is yours?" I asked, wondering what her ultimate goal was.

"Yes," she said with determination. "I want to transfer all of my knowledge to my daughter and make her the next me. And I need someone who can carry on my legacy and ensure that my work is never lost or forgotten."
