Clone City. The main assembly room. Jav and 'Mu come for a visit.

Jav looked around as he and his wife stepped through the portal, still thinking that Fi was nuts.

But then he blinked as they came into a huge room (it must have been intended as some sort of hanger) that teemed with clones. All were busy pursuing recreational activities as diverse as sitting and listening to someone talk or playing DDR on the row of machines against the inner wall. Others were good-naturedly yakking away to the accompaniment of mild violence and laughter. And here and there one could be seen seriously teaching some small colourful pet toy this command or activity.

The hyper clone's mouth spread into a wide grin as he reached for Jeimu's hand. "Would ye lookit that?"

-Okay. I hope you have people here who can tell these guys how to take care of a kid properly.-

[random_xtras]

-They have a lot of teachers.-

-I know. But good intentions don't count for everything. I just hope you're prepared to face whatever might happen.-

[random_xtras]

-I know what'll happen. Of all the places that I could have brought those boys Clone City showed the most promise. Even the frightened one will settle down and learn there.-

-Remember what you told me about choices.-

[random_xtras]

-I'll never forget it. All the best ones for the boys are there.-

"Can I hold him?" asked a clone hopefully, pointing to the baby in Jeimu's arms.

She smiled and handed the child over.

"Sure."

-It may not always be like this. Just want to make sure you're aware.-

[random_xtras]

-This is the right place.- His rumble was sure.

"Wow! You're little." The clone looked at the tiny boy with wonder, then turned to one of his brothers. "We were this big once!"

"No, we was a bit bigger." Jav chuckled.

Jeimu leaned on Jav. "Hey," she whispered to him.

[random_xtras]

"Yeah?" His eyes twinkled down at her as his arm went around her.

"I think I'm going to go home now," she said quietly. "This is..."

She didn't know exactly what it was, but it was really hard to see all of these clones here like this.

"Overwhelming?" He sobered and held her a little more closely.

She smiled. "Yeah."
