So as some of you may have noticed, we had ourselves a little double trouble around these parts lately. Even I wasn't spared some half boiled doppleganger trying to cause mischief and ruin my good name. [So far.]

But considering the circumstances, I figured it'd be a waste to just toss these things in the trash without at least doing some investigating, so I decided to cut one up. Not, you know, just for kicks or anything, but to try and see what we're working with here, just in case there was anything off about them.

Now, the general structure on the inside is about what you'd expect from a human. Same organs, same layout. Just try and remember your high school biology book's illustration of the human body and it'll match up just fine with these things. What is strange though, is on closer inspection all these organs on the inside are brand spanking new. Neither wear nor tear to be found. Even the stomach was completely empty, and when I say completely empty I don't mean it's been fasting for a few days, I mean I don't think it's ever eaten anything at all. I'd bet good money on the other bodies telling the same story.

So, my best guess? Well, as far as I'm concerned, these things were made and they were made recently. I'm going to go out on a limb and say their antics were likely intentional too. Someone's out there and they were trying to make things harder for us.

[But that's just, like, his opinion man. He's paranoid]

Oh, and I decided to spare most of you the gory details so I didn't bother taking any photographs, but if anyone out there's got a medical degree and feels like giving a second opinion on a corpse, feel free. This fake Abbacchio will probably hold up for a while longer before it starts to stink...once that happens it's going in the trash where it belongs.

If I had one of my own personal scanners from home, I'm sure I could have fiddled with the settings to do just that. A lot more, in fact. I'm kind of a big deal.

[sanguinertia]

so you're like a big scientist dude back home? that's pretty cool! what do you specialize in?

[scrambledegg]

The mechanical, mostly. Robots, vehicles, weaponry...

But I try not to limit myself. You get the best results when you work outside your comfort zone.

[Like gods of destruction, alien superweapons and magical gems.]

[sanguinertia]

oh neat! i know a pretty good robotocist back home, but i don't really get that stuff...i can make weapons?

[scrambledegg]

Is that right? In the event our little community here had to rally together and arm ourselves, that could be invaluable to our survival.

We'd be working with pretty shoddy materials though...no no, I'm getting ahead of myself. What kind of weapons can you make?

[sanguinertia]

haha well i don't know about HERE since i don't have any tools either, but i made crescent rose! my scythe slash sniper rifle!

[ Yes, her username is her weapon name. ]

[scrambledegg]

[Hey, he names everything he makes after himself. He gets it.]

A hybrid weapon like that is pretty fascinating. I'd like to take a look at it sometime.

But as for your other remark, a lack of tools or quality material shouldn't stop you. If it comes down to it, experience is experience.

oh id be happy to show you her!!!! though i'm trying to reserve ammunition it's easy to show how she works. :)

and that's pretty encouraging, thanks!!! maybe we should all focus on trying to make this place nicer...

[scrambledegg]

Nicer? It's one word for it, I suppose...I was thinking more along the lines of safer.

[sanguinertia]

haha...i guess i'm not used to safe?
