@Nail: Einst Alfimi (Blue hair) is an alien clone born to save the original from a fatal shuttle accident (Excellen, the blonde one). Lemon Browning is the replacement goldfish of Excellen in a Mirror Universe where Excellen died after that accident and was cloned. Haken is Lemon's reverse gender clone (And has a completely different upbringing). They were meant to be different... Because they all had different destinies.
"Then you will tell me Terra. Let's say that your clone is still out there, alive and well. Professor Hojo seems to accomplished whatever the hell he was planning to do. He treats all people like experiments, according to Zack. And what do you do with done experiments? Why you clean up and start anew. The old ones are swept away or worse killed. But there might even be a worse fate than that. Would you care about that clone? One day, when we find the Professor, we might find ourselves, our clones. Dead or dying. Is that just? Are they just puppets to be used and thrown away? Are they doomed to face nothing more than death because they existed and are not the genuine project? And what of his failed clones? And they meant to die as well because they were imperfect? They were given enough thought process to fight and learn, so what makes you think that they can't think for themselves? Tell me Terra... Am I human?"

Bravo good sir. Bravo. That is one of the best speeches I've seen from you in quite a while.
Terra-2 was silent for a moment. The inferior projects? The mindless sacks of flesh? Of course they deserve to die when they've served their purpose. They're tools, and when tools are no longer needed, they are to be discarded. As for me? I do't know what the future holds, nor do I care. she then cleared her throat before saying, "Is that just? No. That's the main reason we're aiming to stop him, no?" she asked, then paused for a brief moment. Hmm. What would the real Terra say here? "And yes, you're human. I fail to see why you shouldn't be."
OoC: @Nailik ...while I greatly admire the writing ability needed to pull a "Shut Up Kirk!" [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShutUpKirk] on a speech like @Rosh's, I HATE how evil you can be sometimes.
@Hatchy Allright then. Where are we in terms of terrain and country? I didn't read back, but last time I checked in we were in Brazil I think.

"But why? What makes you think that? Let's remove Hojo from the equation. And what do you have? Place them in a windowless, exitless room. And what do you see?" Phoenix said.
"And why? What makes my past to make me 'human'? I am seem human. I may act human. I may impersonate somebody loved by this group and will never know it. What truly defines a 'human'?"
@Gear: Just wait. You'll see why Phoenix/Nova's powers are Fire, compared to Winter's Ice.

OoC: @Hatchy With all those places where they filmed Lord Of the Rings? AWESOME! *gets camera*
Stretching, Jania walked out of (insert whichever ship has more people near it here). Shee looked around.

"Something that's... rather disturbing. When I saw my clone before I fought... it was so confusing." Terra-2 replied earnestly after being silent for a while. "As for what makes one human...? Well... That's really quite simple, really. It's a matter of biology. For instance; You, Raven, Cloud, Zack, Bane. You're all human. Etna, Flonne. Jean, Long Fang. They're not." she answered, deliberately not mentioning herself herself.
Raven had finished his cooking, instead of the usual sweets that he made, he had cooked up some beef stew. It wasn't anything you'd find at a 5 star restaurant, but it was good. "ANYONE WANT SOME STEW?" he called out

Mitsuru looked out into the sea where Diamond Weapon had submerged. There was nothing she could do about it at the moment, but didn't think those things running free on the planet was anything short of a disaster

Dokurod chuckled to himself. "What...Is...matter?..." "Nothing, don't worry about it....I'm just found something amusing..." "What...is..it?" Dokurod chuckled. "Well...if we actually fight something...were gonna have an edge..." He said to Odile. "Oh...your...magic..." She said to him, then stood up straight next to the ship.
"But what makes you so sure that? What makes you so sure that they can't become friends like we did? They share our memories right?" Phoenix said and chuckled hearing Terra-2's comment about 'biology'.
"'Human' is not defined by biology. Never has. It has been defined... By our ability to trust and love. We always make mistakes. We always hurt one another. We kill, we fight, we destroy.... But that's not all we are capability of. We can build, we can live, we can hope. We can always hope that things will become better. As for me..." Phoenix turns to her side looking away at Terra-2 and into the forests.
"... By your definition. I am not human. I am a doll. A clone. But that's not just what I am. My mother has the power of Ice. The power of cooling situations and letting the gentlest of snow fall to the ground." She draws her sword as it is lit aflame with fire slightly. A white flame trickles down the blade as Phoenix touches it, not being burnt at all.
"I control fire. I control Light, and with my power, I will bring something that my mother once brought to the battlefield:... Joy. I will always hope for the better, no matter what exactly happens in the end." She turns away from Terra-2 looking back at the ship.
"By your definition. I am not human."
[HEADING=2]
She turns back to Terra-2 with a smile. "When you're ready to really talk about this... Then come to me. If everybody else tries to kill you, I will be here to protect you. I can only hope that you don't anything drastic."

"I can't become human.... but I know what being human is like."
[/HEADING]She turns back to Terra-2 with a smile. "When you're ready to really talk about this... Then come to me. If everybody else tries to kill you, I will be here to protect you. I can only hope that you don't anything drastic."
OoC: @Rosh ...that was fucking beautiful. *wipes tear*
Jania looked around as she smelled something. Beef, was it? She walked over, spotting Raven and giving him a wave.

Terra-2 shrugged, having regained her cool now that the conversation moved away from her not being who she claimed she is. Share memories? As if. That's not how cloning works. And no, the mindless drones I know can never be anything more then the fates assigned to them. They simply lack the mental cappacity to learn. They're good for one thing and one thing only - killing.
She then moved away from the tree and stretched her arms. "Of course being human is defined by biology. All those traits you just described, those amongst us who aren't human have such traits too. Can Flonne not love and trust? Can Etna not hate and fight? They can, yet they are not human. What you're talking about is being a person, wich is another matter entirely." she explained, then shrugged once more. I won't 'do anything drastic' unless I am ordered to.
