After a considerable amount of talking and coaxing, Trent is able to get a full confession from Potter in less than 70 minutes, much to the shock and delight of the police officers. Before entering the digital recreation, Trent alters the time perception, causing Joe's cookie to believe it has known him for five years. Detective's Holder and Fenn, and Home Office representative Gainsborough then decide to extract a cookie from him, and have it interact digitally with a now incarcerated Matt Trent to try and obtain a confession. However, the replicated consciousness believes itself to be the real Greta and refuses to work, causing Matt Trent to subject it to psychological torture via increased time perception in order to break it and get it to comply.Īfter Joe Potter accidentally kills Gordon Grey in a fit of rage, the police arrest and interrogate him, but are unable to get him to talk. Greta has her consciousness replicated through the Smartelligence service in order to have the cookie run her automated smart house. It is then removed and installed in a larger, egg shaped device which can be connected to a computer or tablet. It is also illegal to delete the replicated consciousness.Ī device is inserted under the clients head by the brain and kept there for a week, giving it time to accurately replicate the individuals consciousness. However, in Black Museum it is revealed that the United Nations has implemented stricter controls on digitally replicating consciousness, stating that a cookie must be able to show at least 5 emotions for its existence to be considered "humane". This is the case with Joe Potter, who has his consciousness replicated by the police and then exposed to Matt Trent, who is able to get him to confess to his crimes in 70 minutes. In White Christmas, it is shown that any criminal confession from a cookie is regarded as the same as if the individual it was taken from had confessed. The legal status of cookies has been shown to vary in different episodes of the series. Cookies are manufactured by UK based company Smartelligence, who caters their service towards wealthier clients (such as Greta), as well as the US based TCKR Systems.
