JADEHAND

Well, since the popular consensus among the womenfolk here is that it's not morally dubious to make clones to serve your own purposes. I'll take orders for clones to Service the men on board. Cabana gals. They're just clones, so feel free to pick a clone of the female crew if you're so inclined. Nothing wrong with that by the standards set.

Also, The brewery has recently been renovated, keeping the brew fresh.
Belly up to the bar lads.

So back to Zanzibar is it? Did we ever get those fire-breathing chickens? Can we train them to breath the fire that's used to cook other fire-breathing chickens? 'Cause...tastey.
The fear makes them taste better.

"I'm comeing down here to appologize for my rude treatment of another sentient... *notices a Potter clone trying to breath under water* ... or at least semi sentient being and also to try and explain myself... these... things? Boys? *ponders on how best to call clones* just smell... off... they're just... wrong I don't know how to explain it any better than that... again, I'm sorry for the death, but I'm just gunna stand ready to say 'I told you so' if something goes wrong... no offence ment I hope... just being overly paranoid and trusting my senses and instincts is what has kept me alive this long... and helped me escape that damn place where they made me into what I am today..."

Well, you know (says Seryn coming back into the common room after graciously accepting Browncoats apology and assuring him again that she's watching them)

Well Jadehand, free will and all that, but we would ask that, you know, you don't make clones of the crew, you just magically recreate fictional characters like we actually did - cloning the crew would be confusing.

And then of course we'd ask that you just shut the hell up. Go drink yourself insensible.

Much love.

Jadehand, yes, I believe that we kept a breeding pair of giant firebreathing space chickens. They are probably running around in our "This Land" park on the top floor of the North Wing.

As to cloning members of the crew... well that sort of occurred once. During the time of the Dark Soul plotline, the evil side of our own SoulofSerenity became our enemy, and each of us split into a good and bad side. Even the Sereni-tree got its evil double.

Very confusing!

I think that our biggest edge was that, for some reason, the seven Brides and the clones of the Big Damn Heroes did not duplicate, so we had a few more people.

Also, the evil side had a lot of in-fighting. There was especiallly a lot of conflict between my evil self, and that of CallMeAth. Darth Real vs his evil Sith Lord Darth Ath.

Good times!

The buffeting stops and Sereni-Tree is once again still and calm. From up in the pilot dome, Quincey gives a yawn and stretches her arms above her head to relieve her aching muscles. She calls down into the main bridge below her. "Okay, we broke atmo. In vacuum."

"Thank you, Bride5." At his station below her, TheRealMe touches a control. "Bride4? We are clear. Spin up the jump engines and let us know when they are ready to breach the hyperspace boundary."

Jet's voice comes over the com. "Right! It'll be a minute!"

TheRealMe touches a few more controls. "Bride5, I have input the coordinates into the nav computer. When Bride4 gives us the signal, you may jump at will. I imagine that it will take her at least an hour, so if you would like to take a break, I think..."

Jet's voice comes over the com again. "Ready!"

With glee, Quincey slams her fist down upon a certain control.

The entire ship shudders as it leaps into the strange dimension of hyperspace.

TheRealMe coughs. "Uh, or we could do that now. Well, I guess we'll reach Zanzibar in about a week."

Well, Bluefishie, they seem to have got the hang of swimming - or at least they've got the ide that you breathe above the water... so what shall we do with them next? *listens to Browncoat tuning his guitar*

Why don't we teach them to sing - thay can be backing singers for the band if they want.

Unless that positions filled? I can't remember... are there already backing singers?

SR reaches into his pocket and pulls out a canister the size of a soda can, toggles a lever on the top and the tosses it into the pool in the proximity of the struggling clone. There is a huge"WHOOSH!" and the pool's level drops till there is less than a meter of standing water in the deep end, though where the canister had landed now stands a object that appears to resemble a 55 gallon oil drum. The clone stands up, coughs a bit, but looks no worse for wear.

"Funny I thought the drooling meant, 'I need more alone time to establish a more solid self-identity.' I would certainly be given a lot social distance if I went about frothing at the mouth."

Well SR i'm sure you'll have ample opportunity to make it up to him, you can come with me when I go to check on him, you can even change his nappy if you want.*sees SR's face blanche*

Anyway, I think we need to do one of two things - we need to find water wings and those masky/pipey things for the clones - diving masks? and we need to give them names.

Any suggestions? Alphabetical maybe?

"I'll change his daiper, if that's what it takes, I won't enjoy it any more than you do. It can't be any worse than burying battlefield casualties or snaking out plumbing. There are jobs that need doing, so you do them as right and as quick as possible so you can then take a shower and, if you are lucky, have a beer afterwards. The clones need swimming lessons, giving them equipment without basic training is just giving them a better chance to really get into trouble. As far as names are concerned let them choose thier own. I'm starting to think that they are more trouble than they are worth, but that's just a opinion."

Well, the simple way is Potter-clone1, Potter-clone2...

Or Potter1, Potter2...

Ummm... It worked with the Seven Brides and the BDH clones. It might be more appropriate for the potters if they are all identical in form and personality. Do they have personalities?

We could make them t-shirts each with the appropriate number on it.

How many of the dozen survived the inital attacks, anyway?

As far as their safety is concerned, I can have my robot Sparky look after them for now. He won't let any of them drown. But Sparky is useful to me and I can't have this turn into his full-time job.

I believe only one fell. To help with the naming, I've made 11 t-shirts for them. They're made out of a new material that will not get wet, so they can continue to swim in them. They will also allow for their names to be illuminated in the material once they, or whoever, choses a name for them.
There's some Nano-Tech in the material that will form their names, or even other patterns if they chose. Kinda like Johnny's T-shirt that always chances the pattern on it. They can of course change color to. They're just white now.

So, taking wizard children to Zanzibar. Fun.

SR steps up next to TRM. In quiet measured tones SR begins to speak.
"The barrel in the deep end of the pool is quite light if it wasn't for the size it could easily be lifted with one arm. The water is still in there as oxygen and hydrogen. When you re ready to refill the pool just set on the edge of the pool and toggle the top lever to 'purge', remove the side bung and the water will pour out minus 3 percent lost to the tranformation process.
I am not comfortable with clones either. Humans are, for the most part, born and raised one at time and they learn proportinal to their age. Ready made clones well...
Still they had no say in their creation so who am I to judge."

There is a long deep pause.

"Well I have to do a disgusting thankless job involving cleaning up after some one who doesn't even realize I exist. You take care."
