NOTES ON CLONES

khajidontThe Masked:
- Clones, general enhanced abilities
The Cloned Children:
- Broken tanks found in the UE base on the date of the rescuing with signs of a struggle. The tanks were built to hold adults but it looks like the children got out early.
- Capable of sentient thought though the UE found it difficult to educate them properly in the tanks (the same way they were probably able to educate the Masked)
- Attacked only Transports on the battlefield so even if they did get out of their tanks early they must have had some sort of programming ahead of time -- drugs, mind control or just in their genes? (Magically created clones in another world had to do what their creator told them to even if they tried to resist)
- Had a maximum of nineteen days to be made but still looked about 7-10 years old
- At the time of the supervirus, the UE said that they had severely shortened lifespans
- Accelerated aging process until puberty. After that, it will take months for them to reach maturity.
Powers:
Can be magic or meta
- Regeneration
- Immortality
- Elemental magic (fire, thunder, ice, wind, earth)
- Speed
- Shapeshifting
- Flight
- Resurrection of dead
- Strength
- Healing
- Shielding
- Enhanced speed, strength, endurance, etc.
- Other magical abilities: light, shadow, something like gravity manipulation, summoning meteors, time manipulation, shrinking
- Teleportation
- Telepathy
- Telekinesis
- Control over explosions
- Control over projectiles
- Hypnosis
- Lasers
- Summoning weapons
- Technopathy (?)
- Invisibility
- Power copying
Tests and Treatment Kidnapped Transports:
- Running on treadmills
- Blood tests
- Stress tests
- Physical examination
- Vision checking
- Generalized check-ups
- No apparent intent to harm once they got into UE territory - drugged if they resisted but were left alone
- Mind-controlled before their arrival so they went willingly
History:
- Most attempts of cloning in earlier centuries was met with political resistance
- Cloning of organs and animals (for food) eventually agreed upon
- Popularity of cloning prior to the UE comes and goes
- Stem cell research used for regenerative therapies in 2000s
- Research backslid in the 3000s - until the UE came in, as far as I know
- More missions need to be done to get a good idea of the history and their tech
The Chimera Project:
-Majority of UE's funding went into this
-Have recently drawn their attention to other genetic projects in the hopes to make significant progress in this area well ahead of schedule.
-Is pre-existed by dozens of years by other such genetic projects. This one dovetailed with the colonization project between March and October last year
-First made to produce individuals capable of adapting to different environments as a part of their colonization project - also used for soldiers like the ones we saw
-Wanted to use people from other worlds for testing first, but they couldn't bring anyone back alive
-Started in 3312, before Elmer's world was destroyed but after one Transport got kidnapped (which probably gave them the idea in the first place)
-Clones moved to full tank growth at an accelerated rate, possible problems with stability
-Education was an issue with their quick growth
Related:
- UE targeted Exsilium's children before in the natal and pre-natal wings of the hospital for their 'imperfections'
- UE chooses the genetic makeup of their own children before they're born
- Corpses of failed clones found in the UE's morgue ranging from children to adults
- The corpses found were all autopsied and some were mutated
- None of the cloned children that people reported on were non-human, but there were non-human bodies in the morgue
- They're capable of bringing in people from our worlds, but not alive - but some clones are capable of resurrection. You can do the math there
Included in every copy of this package is a close up picture of one of the clone children. It's taken from Jaime's perspective - straight from his lenses - with both he and the clone flying above the chaos below. The clone is lunging towards him, the claw of his hand almost feral though his expression is obscured by his black visor. For all the aggression he's clearly showing, it's easy to see why Jaime could consider these children aside from their size. Beneath the armour, he's certainly got the body of a child, and his visible mouth looks soft and new.
