999 CAST MEETING (TNDG DAY 2)

[keybroad]

[Lotus wakes up in the sci-fi set along with some of the others. She goes off on her own to get dressed in a Star Trek teal jumpsuit. She comes back with two cinnamon rolls. She sits on her bed and claps her hands. The bracelets on her arms jangle and should get a decent amount of attention.]

So. We should all talk as a group, I guess.

[She proceeds to begin eating the cinnamon rolls. Both are apparently for herself.]

Comments

[keybroad]

Uh... uh...

[She's having trouble following that, the clone part being even more new information to her.]

It's really sad and says way too much about the past 72 hours that I don't have a more detailed answer than "probably not murder them".

[exequte]

If there was anything of the kind, I'm not convinced they'd be able to survive without the mechanism that created them, at least not until "finished" - regardless of if one specific person were cloned from the start, or if there were empty shells that were waiting to be finished. Effectively in destroying whatever allowed them to be created, we'd also be sentencing them to death.

[Then just a faint smile.]

All of this is hypothetical, of course. And, on a positive note, if anything about this is true then they're unlikely to be able to quickly create new copies of us specifically if we are able to leave. Even the most cutting edge technology can't do much for how long cells take to develop.

[keybroad]

I guess the fate of an "unfinished" clone is just as doubtful as a premature baby... But we seem to be pretty "finished", we don't have IVs or anything. And we have no proof right now that "unfinished" clones do exist. So, don't worry, you didn't get me down that much.

[exequte]

No, I know. Like I said, this is all theoretical still. But it is still an interesting question.
