-Brie walks inside, along with Cappro-

-the interior's a pretty standard setup, there's a kitchen, a door marked 'bathroom', and another one marked 'sleeping quarters', as well as a 'infirmary' which has had a small sign placed on the door itself saying 'Dr.9's Room'-

-there's a few couches, and a TV-

-Dr.9 is sitting on an armchair opposite one of the couches- Right, right- now zhen. My name ist Dr.9 and... tell me every clone you know zhat's out zhere. I vant to know what I might be dealing vith in terms of production capabilities.

Do make yourself comfy, zhough- and tell me your names.

(not getting too comfy)

My name's Akebono. And... I only know three clones.

These two, and someone else who's... well, I think she's nice. I don't think our Ditto is breeding out an army.

I'm Brie- there's another one called Laurel. He has purple skin, and is a grumpy sourpuss.

I'm Cappro... I think I was made more recently than these others.

-nods slowly- ... Purple skin. Vell zhat's concerning. Zhey have access either to my original catalogue... or zhey've been very pro-active on building their catalogue from scratch. Who knows vhat kind of DNA samples might be scattered around... especially if you decide not to be picky.

-she interlocks her fingers, and leans back- So... vere you all unaware of who made you? How did you come to be vell. Here.

Oh. Right. Sorry, I made an assumption given... vell zhe clone majority here. You're zhe only vone in zhis building zhat isn't a clone, you know.

Well! I just remember from my memories that 9.Corp was on the machine... so I like. Saw this place. And then wanted to check it out.

And I had genetic programming to try and dissuade contact with 9.Corp. But I failed. Also the person who made us used a voice modulator, and hid their face.

... Vell I'm stumped on who it is, precisely... but zhey've obviously been here a vhile. To copy my clone machine before it vas disassembled by my Trades.

And vell- all zhese tactics are too sneaky to be my ordinary enemy...

Lets see... it was earlier this year. But I had been away for at least a year- or maybe more. I tended to come here for vacation, and I only really ordered the disassembly when I started my fight against Monday Night Combat.

So- they must have been around before I did that. Which means I'm all out of ideas for an identity.

Huh... so... we were made from the copied machine?

I definitely was. Presumably you too.

Inside zhe house back there?

No, I didn't have a security camera. Or at least, if I did, zhey probably deleted the footage. Zhey'd have had plenty of time to do so.

So- wait. Where was your machine originally?

House in zhe middle of the forest, vhich I'm sure all three of you know.

I don't.

Zhe vone I had disassembled, I had sent back home. To my vorld.

And I confirmed its' arrival myself so... it vasn't lost in transit.

So the machine that made us was definitely a copy!

Well... I just know it was an underground bunker.

I couldn't tell where it was in the forest... hardly any other landmarks. It was deep too. I was guided on a winding path, so it's difficult to retrace my steps.

-nods- Ya... I have somevone who's looking for signs of others using my kind of technology. Alzhough I didn't expect it to valk up to my doorstep... I know now zhey had access to clones, too.

I know you said zhey don't have an army but... vith vhat supplies zhat go missing. I think they are building one.

#1347146: Nov 8th 2018 at 6:24:27 PM

I mean. I don't think I have a specific loyalty.

Laurel was programmed to be a personal body-guard... and I think my loyalty was left undefined too.

Almost like you're mostly experiments, I guess. People who vere made for fun. Not much thought into your orders, alzhough genetic orders aren't alvays zhe perfect thing. I keep my Trades Loyal vith a combination of genetic loyalty, and also actual benefits promised. Zhey're not slaves, even if zhey are my clone army zhat I mass-produce.

Zhe ones you met at the door vere numbers 851 und 852.

Also concerned about somevone making me a personal bodyguard vithout my knowledge. It sounds like a serious sleeper agent thing, if you ask me.
