Be strong, Foley Jones, you are not insane, my friend. The insane ones are the ones calling us humans. Hm. The question of whether the clone soldier infomorph is a human being is ultimately the question of what a "human" is. It's rather open to interpretation, but what's really significant is that the question can be reasonably asked in good faith. It's not asked only to undercut or dehumanize us-- it's a real question. The answer may matter less than the question does. Notice I said "function like a human being." Ryeon-haani and I have traded thoughts on the question of if we are still human. It's an internal conflict that shreds most of our kind, and for good reason. I've come to find that the actual answer to this question however is irrelevant. Whatever I am, I walk among the living. I feel human, I look human, I think like a human. The only thing that separates us from a scientific monstrosity and a weapon is how much we can convince ourselves that this mask we wear is our true form. People like Foley, however break the illusion and threaten the one bit of faux security we have in this world. Tell me, how do you even marginally think like a mortal? You die, it's a minor inconvenience. They die, it's over.
And that is why they should be cherished. |

Hmmmm I haven't met many people who talk like you do Fae.... a couple of Achuran collegues, an Intaki woman I used to see, and a foolish Templar.....
Refreshing outlook to be sure, but do you really think just by wishing ourselves to be something other than what we are makes it so? I have many regrets, I sometimes hate myself, but no matter how hard I try I cannot quit being what I am.
A killer, a Junkie, Caldari..... not that I regret being the latter. |

Even if Fae-haan looks forward to one day joining his ancestors, he's unlikely to rush the meeting as long as he has a measure of honor to keep (whether he cares to use that word for it or no). To do so is to give up, to admit that you are too weak to survive in a world built to test you. Disappointing the people whose legacy you represent is a pleasant thought to few. Would you want to spend your afterlife as an embarrassment?
The best I can hope for is a noble way to die. If I cared for what the ghosts of our people thought about my life I suppose I would struggle more to live productively....however time and time again, New Eden has proven to me that many things that are are, and cannot be changed.
If I can die nobly then perhaps it would not matter how I lived, only that I died for something more than Crystal Egg and the blissful reprieve it brings from an otherwise bleak existence. |

Considering the amount of work you put into that temple complex of yours, Fae-haan, I hope you will forgive me for presuming you to be at least a touch religious. Motives are rarely simple, but explanations frequently have to be; mine was never going to be a complete explanation.
Neither, I suspect, is yours?
Oh no, you weren't wrong. Spirituality is something I value deeply, but I didn't want the record to show "I only carry on this existence because I don't want to be seen as a failure" or some silliness like that.

A good death is its own reward, as they say. Just remember, it isn't the boosters that define you. You and you alone are responsible for your own actions. Gods, I dare say that you should be getting more done if you are running around on Egg. It's far better than constantly hitting bottles of Frentix or Mindflood, I'll give you that.
Perhaps...but that is only when I bother to hit the battlefield...and these days I find myself lacking reason to do that. |
