Yet, different, in that this one is more attuned to its survvivval instincts.
Other than that, howw else are you different?

[ii2cariiot]

But reiteration of my prevvious statement should be unnecessary.

So then, you nevver came to be property of Her Imperious Condescension?

[ii2cariiot]

No

[orphans]

She seemed to think you wwere.
If your double is capable of controlling his abilities, I don't see wwhy you should be unable.
