Alright, I am fine with them not being immortal. I think that when it is time for their bodies to die, then their memories and knowledge gained could be uploaded into another storage device, but that's not the same as being immortal. 

Anyway, would you mind if we put just this story on the backburner for a while? Real life is getting quite busy at the moment, and I'm still in about 14 other stories, including our other two. So I figure we could just preserve this idea for a time down the road when we both have a little less to do? We have two awesome stories going, and I want to be able to focus more on the ones I have instead of feeling overwhelmed. I'm going to stop watching the thread if that's ok, but we can just restart it if we decide to rekindle this idea in a few months?
