Lucky for us, a clone of me wouldn't be all that scary.

Other than what he was trying to write, no. I'm creeped out though.

Superweapon, maybe? Is there some sort of weapon they made to fight… Something pressing?

*Shakes my head, but just barely*
I—I wish I knew. Maybe it's something dad made for this kind of disaster?

Hard to say.
*Crosses my arms as we walk*
You know, all these smart people with lots of power and influence in various ways talk a lot about minimizing points of failure, but the one point of failure they never seem to close is themselves. They design and plan so much around their own presence, and I don’t know if it’s because of paranoia or what, but when they are removed from the equation for any reason, everything falls apart without them. My dad does it, my brother does it. I’m getting the feeling this would be easier too, if that weren’t the case.

*Quietly*
Yeah... Maybe it's the nature of science. Arrogance that blinds them. But I don't know, maybe that's too sentimental.

It’s hard to say. All I know is it always makes things so hard.
*Straightens my posture and shakes my head*
I guess it’s not helpful to think about that now.

The planetary barrier works... at least. You said your family has the same problem?

I mean a lot of things. I just… They all mean well. It’s an unfortunate effect of how they operate, is all.

It sounds shortsighted to me. If you were a real visionary, you wouldn't put yourself in the middle of it all.

Do you think that maybe the superweapon is dad himself? Like if he kept his body in storage or something?

We need to be careful. Methodical. Unless he starts coming after us, we should take our time.
