Martian Successors?

[kill_all_vagans]

[It's rather funny.  The fight against the Meganoids led to investigating a downed Wulgaru ship on Mars.  And during the fight, Flit came across something else... something... man-made.  The remnants of a settlement, with designs that certainly looked Earth-based at least.  They seemed to be old though, and back at Star Rose Flit's looking over pictures of what he found.  Not much is left, and he's had trouble finding information about Mars colonization programs, but...]

... Just how old is all of this?

I'm not sure what we'd find or how long it would take. If I come across something in these records though that warrants a second look I'd definitely find time though.

Good luck! I know you can do it.

[kill_all_vagans]

Well, it might take a while.

What about your part of the operation? Learn anything new?

[herodrawing]

Yeah. You could say that...

[kill_all_vagans]

You did? Anything about why the Wulgaru worked with the UE then? Or what their next move might be?

[herodrawing]

Sorry, nothing of the sort...

[Izuru seems thoughtful.]

Hey, Flit.

You know Wulgaru use cloned soldiers?

[kill_all_vagans]

They do...?

[But on the other hand...]

... That certainly explains why they can afford to be so aggressive when they attack.

[herodrawing]

Because they're using them as cannon fodder?

That's one way to use clone soldiers, but not the only way I think.

[Izuru knows what Asagi meant back then...]

You see, you could say I'm a clone soldier too.

[kill_all_vagans]

A-a clone?!?

Is that why you don't have a lot of memories? Because you only started to exist like, a few months ago?

[herodrawing]

Uhhh... I think you have the wrong idea here. I still had a life and all, you know.

It's just that I wasn't born the normal way. I don't think anyone in the academy was.

[kill_all_vagans]

When did you find out?

[herodrawing]

A long time ago. But to learn that Wulgaru do this thing too...

We really are similar, huh.

[kill_all_vagans]

Don't say that. Even if we share some sort of ancestor with the Wulgaru, we're nothing like them. If there was some sort of... genetic decay problem we wouldn't try solving it by killing other races.

[herodrawing]

I guess not. But what if it was the only solution?

Do the Wulgaru have other solutions, even? From what Teoria said their society is really messed up. Maybe there are other answers readily available and they just don't pursue them.
