Mariposan Clones
Population Survival via Cloning; Medical Genetics, Cloning Infrastructure, and Internal SecurityDescription
The Mariposan Clones comprise the cloned populace of the colony of Mariposa, descended from five original progenitors and organized into functional roles (medical staff, armed sentries, technicians). Afflicted by accelerating replicative fading, their society pursues fresh genetic material to sustain viability. Observed behaviors include coordinated deception, clinical abduction, nonconsensual tissue harvesting, operation of cloning banks, and deployment of armed clones—all driven by an explicit survival imperative and mediated through colony leadership.
