Imagine for a moment here you are in your quarters and the mission pops up "Caldari attempt to push into Federation Space" You move with a lethal purpose and plug in, much like a capsuleer does. Your mind is sent half way across the galaxy to the waiting battle barge were all that you are is implanted into disposable battle clones. Girdled for war and armed with the most lethal weapons known to New Eden you take that first Orbital Jump of the next long grueling war. As you fall for the last time and you are out of battle clones your mind goes half way across the galaxy back to your original form.
You wake, disoriented and sick from such a mind numbing experience. How many times did you die in that war? How many wounds does your mind remember but your body does not show. It takes time to get the strength back in your limbs. It was just one more war. A billion souls lost their lives in the nuclear fires of orbital bombardments but you remain. You have become an immortal, a godling that could shake the foundations of heavens if given the chance. What is one death, 100, or even a thousand. Each one gives you that little bit more experience to hone you into a more lethal weapon.
Your comm goes off once more "Angel Cartel attack on Federation space. Requesting help from the mercenary armies of Dust". What is one more war? This is pretty damn good.
Must be fun doing the cleanup work once everyone 'leaves' the barge's strategy room to start the battle. |

There is a reference in the very first "Stranded" story to Balac knowing that a particular dead clone had his face, so perhaps the Beta generation mercs have more individuality?
Balac knew it was him. he died there remember?
Oh, totally. I got that. My point is the wording:
Quote:Balac didnGÇÖt look at the corpse as his high beams flashed across it, pale features defined briefly and then gone, swallowed in the black of night. He didnGÇÖt need to. He already knew the dead body was his own.
This suggests that someone COULD have recognized the body as his by its features. While the initial clones (in Part 7 - darn flashbacks!) are identical, by the modern period there may be some differentiation amongst the cloned bodies. I know in EVE, the clones' facial bones are not actually bone, but a reconfigurable polymer that allows for fast facial reconfiguration. Maybe they've started using that? |
