However, as the Vex began to infiltrate Europa by subtly encoding their patterns within the minds of Exo work teams returning from the 2082 Volantis, Bray subsequently extended the Exo memory-wipe protocol to trigger whenever certain classes of informational hazard - such as Vex machine code - were encountered. He referred to this as a sort of "noetic immune system", and noted that it would also return the Exos to peak mission readiness during future combat missions. | However, as the Vex began to infiltrate Europa by subtly encoding their patterns within the minds of Exo work teams returning from the 2082 Volantis, Bray subsequently extended the Exo memory-wipe protocol to trigger whenever certain classes of informational hazard - such as Vex machine code - were encountered.

In order to save himself, Bray subjected himself to automated surgery, with the goal of replacing most of his organs with cloned replicas grown from pigs. However, during the operation, a Vex-defecting copy of [[Maya Sundaresh]] subverted the surgical machinery, ordering it to gruesomely vivisect Bray and awaken him after completion. He was rescued by Elisabeth, who had uploaded herself into an Exo body and destroyed the corrupted medical frames and the Vex unit, and was reassembled. | ||
During the remainder of his surgery, Bray experienced a vision, seemingly from the [[Light]] or the [[Traveler]], which chided him for being so easily seduced by Darkness. | During the remainder of his surgery, Bray experienced a vision, seemingly from the [[Light]] or the [[Traveler]], which chided him for being so easily seduced by the Darkness. It explained that the visions Clovis had experienced during his recent brushes with death had in fact come from the Light, as the Darkness had no interest in speaking to those who were on the verge of dying. | ||

As his body continued to be corrupted by the Vex, Bray chose to upload himself into an exomind format, purging himself of the Vex infection once and for all. The Vex copy of Maya continued to torment him even as he was in the process of uploading, controlling his motor functions to scrawl taunting messages in his journal as Clovis recorded his last words. | |||
After uploading, Bray existed as an AI, embedded within the Clovis Bray exoscience facility on Europa. However, he also had a exobody prepared, into which he later downloaded a second copy of his mind; this Exo was identified as Clovis-1. | |||
