Intergalactic Summit

Ok then let me introduce this new thing called perspective.

For instance, from the outside-looking in perspective, all we see is stalling, evidence against Delainen, but no evidence for, this whole business of "cant tell yooo. Seeekrit" and really this just makes people think that someone in this little act is being disingenuous, and it reeks through the whole operation.

The inside looking out perspective, who knows Myxx, enlighten us.

The DNA is only half the issue.

Assuming of course you're aware that clones by definition are exact copies, i.e. by definition their DNA would be a 100% to their progenitor.

The other half of the issue of course is the fact there seem to be multiple clones running around, which opens this whole can of worms.

Do you have any explainations for this or is this all secret too...

Well, I can appreciate that you understand the scepticism and impatience of the wider community.

All I can really say is that the project's reputation hangs in the balance on this one. Remains to be seen what happens.

N'maro brings up a rather salient point: one of the most important and well-known conditions of any cloning contract is that regardless of how many clones are created for the client, only one of them may be active at any given time.

While it is true that the last time that this condition was breached and the matter came to light in capsuleer channels instead of being kept quiet was before you acquired your capsuleer license (by only a few scant months, in fact), it is no excuse for ignorance in this matter, because you signed such a contract in order to become a capsuleer.

So, assuming you and several others aren't all having some elaborate, shared hallucination involving a professor in artificial intelligence who's supposedly been deceased for roughly four years, I'd expect you're about to have some rather unamused CONCORD officials breathing down your necks.

That whole ridiculously dangerous can of worms aside, there's another problem in play here.

That problem is you, Myxx. Specifically, your attitude. Your almost inconceivable belief that you are always in the right, and are capable of predicting the actions of everyone around you.

Newsflash, sweetie: you aren't, and you can't.

A lesson worth remembering: it's not the people who already believe you or are on your side that you need to convince - confirmation bias takes care of that. It's the ones who don't believe you, the ones who you've shattered your credibility with, that you need to convince. Confirming the already-existing beliefs and opinions of one group of people is nowhere near as important in a situation like this as convincing those who don't share those beliefs or opinions to begin with.

You can tell yourself that it isn't true all you like, but when it comes to the scientific community, you're doing little more than shooting yourself in the foot by delaying and stalling. Your credibility with a rather large portion of the capsuleer community is shot - and it isn't that little circle of friends you've managed to retain that you should be looking to right now. They can't make anyone believe what you write or say. That is your responsibility, and your responsibility alone.

Convince the rest of us that you're not as full of hot air as you come across as being. We're waiting.

This reminds me of a funny story I once heard about a guy called Wolf Burgan who managed to cheat the Serpentis.

Oh, and people interested in the possibility of multiple active copies of the same clone should visit the OK-FEM constellation in Delve.
