Seriously though. The Crystal was designed to store the distinct DNA and memory patterns of an individual, for one time recreation of that DNA signature back into a living form, in this case, there were two coded signatures. The DNA was also used a source reference for the personality of the AI that could express itself when the was used as part of a computer system. The body could be saved, but not the mind. When the crystal was destroyed, the memories and experiences of the individual while stored in the crystal are lost, and any information in the mind at the time of recreation will have been there at the time of the body's original disintegration. In other words, the person was scanned into the crystal at the cost of body and mind, and restored to full form at the cost of memory while in crystal form. Somehow, two people were placed in one crystal. The story will be told as to why, and how. soon. Just not on the main site, and not in this volume.

Your crystal was not coded one way or another." "So you thought, more is better. But why not go all the way and make octuplets?" "That is possible?" *facepalm* "I'm glad you weren't aware." “Twins?”
“Yes. Your crystal was not coded one way or another.”

“That is possible?”

I wonder if she was ment to have a brother, or did the machine just do that since the crystal wasn't coded one way or the other. That's pretty good they all lived, not many groups can claim that one after landing on Mist. I am sure that Roxy is happy to be able to walk around again.

Any way, I wonder how Shadow will relate to her chief. She should lovingly follow her like the rest of the humans (as Susan said in one of the early chapters, it's one of the perks of being her), but with Shadow I can also imagine she won't follow those instincts. And this is 'chatper' 23? Twin brother? Funny. Any way, I wonder how Shadow will relate to her chief.

And this is ‘chatper’ 23?
