Yamatai News (YINN) Nepleslian Red Cloning Breakthrough Sparks Debate

YE 46.2
Fujiko IV, Shenhong City

LShenhong_City_Biotechnology_Conference.pngast week Shenhong City was alive for the Athena Foundation's 3rd Annual Biotechnology Conference hosted at the Fujiko University. This year conference attracted a wide range of scientists, cybernetics experts, and biotechnology related scholars seeking to discuss the latest advancements in the Kikyo Sector. A key segment of the event was the Foundation's presentation by Dr. Tara O'Sullivan, which focused on their Artificial Nepleslians project consisting of types such as the Raijin and Hermes clone types.

One key point of the presentation highlighted increasing compliance among Reds with their required annual medical checks, leading to a decrease in chromosome degradation and the associated premature deaths. Additionally, the Foundation showcased their new Prometheus Type clone, a novel approach to rapid clone development, which, despite its innovation, was seen by some as a delayed achievement in the field of cloning within the sector. However, the announcement that truly captivated the audience was the Foundation's success in creating Artificial Helashio clones.

This news quickly garnered attention, especially within the Yamatai Star Empire, due to its resemblance to the cloning practices of the former Lorath Matriarchy, known for cloning Helashio for servitude. The involvement of the Nepleslian Reds, often perceived as Nepleslian extremists for their staunch "Nepleslian-first" philosophy, sparked widespread debate and confusion. Many wondered why they would choose to integrate xenospecies into their society.

Speculation about the Reds expanding their cloning research to other species has been rampant since their increased activity in YE 42. Concerns have been raised about their past and current practices. These worries were echoed by a distressed Neko from the Yamatai, who expressed deep apprehension about the Reds' cloning endeavors. "This relentless pursuit of cloning technology by the Reds is alarming," she stated. "If they can clone Helashios, what's next? Elves? Elysians? Separa'Shan?! We need to draw a line. If they want to remain here, why not force them to transition to Minkan bodies and embrace our Empire's values? We must maintain our standards and not diverge into such risky scientific pursuits. Especially after their recent Proposal 123 in the Imperial Senate, the Reds can't be trusted."

In contrast, the sentiment on planets like Fujiko IV, Rufusland III, and Ukmirt A-IV differs significantly. The Reds' enthusiasm for cloning is seen in the light of their desire for self-sufficiency and independence. By mastering cloning technology, they aim to strengthen their workforce and military capabilities without external dependence. The technology allows for the production of specialized clones for a range of purposes, from labor to combat, aligning with their ethos.

An elderly Helashio man in Ukmirt A-IV, distinguishable by his red bandanna on his forehead, dark hard suit, and respirator, was seen attending to his orchard of large blue fruit. While speaking to a reporter, he continued his work, stating, "Finally, our people can be born free, without the oppressive conditioning of the Lorath. It's been seven years since the incident, and though we've lost touch with our ancient heritage, being liberated from those confines has given us a new beginning. I'm thankful to the Reds for providing my family and friends a home and a chance to redefine our identity on our own terms."

As time progresses, it remains to be seen if the rumors of the Reds developing additional species for integration into their society will materialize.
