It's one of the points I'll need to clarify in the remake of the first several pages when I'll get around to working on them, since as of now it was sorta just brushed by in a dialogue. He turned off his implant's comms module.
Seeing that it seems to have controls much smaller than his finger (which, I'd conclude, would be meant to be used by an assistant who can actually look at them), chances are that "complete shutdown" isn't what he wants, but what he can do ...
It was on page 9, but looking back at it now, the dialogue there is so bad. XD It's an unconscious habit of his in times where he needs to think alone.

Artificial Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence are not the same thing. AIs, much like in real life, are not conscious or sapient and are more like really advanced scripts. ACs - like Quantum - on the other hand, are properly sapient persons, but their functioning relies on a specific hardware setup as much as on code, so they cannot upload themselves to other computers.

Don't you dare rat them out Mark!
Pretty cool to be able to draw an alien face expressing "concern".
Yup, the guilt did hit him immediately.
What exactly did he just turn off there? Recording function?

Not really getting the picture. What was it doing that he wanted it to stop doing?

ah, gotcha. It wasn't doing anything at the time, he just does that.
I don’t think that’s guilt. More likely he’s just feeling overwhelmed by all of this.
