Pure Genetic Replication





It is a hot moment. 
Temperatures are rising, Artic ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, and people may be unconsciously registering all that, and doing a horrible job at it. 
Instead of dealing with one’s own sense of panic, constriction, and fear it looks like many people are just running hot.

GM: 
I feel like every word we say is now a potential indictment, you know. 
The last malignant thrashing of the passing Aeon of Osiris. 

The echoes of the Inquisition, accusations of ‘wrongthink’, the return of Original Sin, the demonic glee taken in any stumble or falter from the approved path seems almost mediaeval. It’s terrifying. The potential for misunderstanding is almost infinite and its almost fated that we will struggle to abide by rules that grow ever more authoritarian and specific every day. 

Again, all that feels to me like the last ferocious attempts at asserting its fading power by the Osiris Energy of the last 2000 years, now gone rotten and unsustainable but trying harder to keep everything and everybody under increasingly deranged levels of control in every area of our lives.





Odin has many names. 
He is The All-Father, The Lord of The Slain, The Gallows God. 
He is The God of Cargoes and of Prisoners. 
He is called Grimnir and Third. 
He has different names in every country (for he is worshipped in different forms and in many tongues, but it is always Odin they worship).

He travels from place to place in disguise, to see The World as people see it. 
When he walks among us, he does so as a tall man, wearing a cloak and hat.




OBI-WAN: 
Very impressive. 

LAMA: 
I'd hoped you would be pleased. 
Clones can think creatively. 
You will find that they are immensely superior to droids. 
We take great pride in our combat education and training programs. 
This group was created about five years ago. 

OBI-WAN: 
You mentioned growth acceleration. 

LAMA: 
Oh, yes, it's essential. 
Otherwise, a mature clone would take a lifetime to grow. 
Now we can do it in half the time. 

OBI-WAN: 
I see. 

LAMA: 
They are totally obedient, taking any order without question. 
We modified their genetic structure to make them less independent than the original host. 

OBI-WAN: 
And who was the original host? 

LAMA: 
A bounty hunter called Jango Fett. 

OBI-WAN: 
And where is this bounty hunter now? 

LAMA: 
Oh, we keep him here. 
Apart from his pay, which is considerable, Fett demanded only one thing. 

An unaltered clone for himself
Curious, isn't it? 

OBI-WAN: 
"Unaltered"? 

LAMA: 
Pure genetic replication. 
No tampering with the structure to make it more docile  and no growth acceleration. 

OBI-WAN: 
I should very much like to meet this Jango Fett. 
I would be very happy to arrange it for you.
