Quantum Vibe / Re: Diana doesn't grieve over Monty. I think Alyss is suspicious.

Meatbag vs Tinman is one of the first things they'd check and Alyss did check for Diana's DNA.

It's remotely possible that her mind is not Diana's with some of Diana's memories but I doubt it.

Now, it is very possible that the Clone has implanted "commands" like "report to this place every 10 days".

IE She's going to act like Diana because she honestly believes she's Diana but the cloner implanted some surprises.

Oh, I wonder about the "client" in Bubblecity that helped her out.  I'm suspecting that he was never a client of the original Diana. 

I'm wondering if this clone thinks she is diana or is a well coached spy with access to some of diana's memories. As far as i know qv universe cant edit meatbrains as easily as robot brains(if they can at all). Could this diana be a tinman that thinks she's a meatbag? Not recognizing otto is weird not mentioning monty is weird. But other than that her kneeing otto in the groin is normal diana.

Anybody resourceful enough to created a cloned Diana using the stolen B/U would provide the clone with all available Public Information about Diana.

What would likely be missing is any non-public information (like Diana dating Otto) and "emotional context" of the public info.

This Cloned Diana may only know the "little boy" Otto (from the Bok Doc) and thus wouldn't recognize the young adult Otto let alone know she dated him.

She knows that Monty is dead but would lack the emotional context of their relationship (which obviously the Bad Guys wouldn't know about).

A potental snag in my theory is that (page=2148, panel=2) Diana did remember Byron Tchaikovski vidstream, but that's the type of memory that may be easy to "forge" seeing that it was broadcast to the public among several worlds beyond Bubbleopolis.

She also recalls the Bok doc she was in too.

Private conversations with people that happened after the stolen B/U would presumably be much harder to fake.

Seeing as they were living together, you would think that would come up.

I think maybe Alyss is on to her, or at least has some suspicion. The question. "You remember meeting him, yes?" went unanswered too. I'll bet Alyss was doing her best to read emotions on Diana's face.

(curiously, the non-cannon script below the strip doesn't have that question in the dialog for some reason) 

With the  "Is there anything else" question, they go off on a tangent with rumors.

I'm now more sure our present Diana is a pre-Château Périlleux arc backup snapshot, one that was discovered to be stolen during the apartment break-in early in the arc, and I think Alyss is thinking the same.

Anyway, with a suspected RPLD agent that probably has no idea she's an agent; running around looking for work, having her work under the watchful eyes of a well informed Caçador & Cooper Assurance Agency may be useful. She may even be helpful.

Yeaaaah this doesnt make sense she may be pissed at otto but she wouldnt treat the guy like a complete stranger. He did save her life after all. I'm going to go with the assumption that dune style memory modding isnt possible at this time else monty would have been much more concerned when her backup was stolen. Enough time has passed though they could have used old school brainwashing and indoctrination on dianaclone tho. Especially if they made multiple copies. They could have tried multiple ways of doing so and deployed the one that graduated clone school. This brings up an interesting idea. A high school filled with dianas that are training to assassinate roaz. (Not serious just thought the idea was hilarious and had to share it).

page=2054

If RPLD had a spy within Cooper Seguridad, Gianturco Guarantia or one of the other security agencies, they might know how bad the environment which the backups are in, and have a rough idea of how long until it might be safe to try to rescue them.   

Page=2054.  There still might be a recoverable backup in La Casa Silvestri, both for Diana and for Monty (who would know a lot about matters immediately prior to the attack, although we wouldn't know how old his last backup was).

Pretty big risk for a faker to take, if they knew there was a chance those backups survived.

Assuming unauthorized-clone Diana had a backdoor in her plant, the risk would be minimal. We already know RPLD has a stolen Diana b/u, but I think it would be tough to use unauthorized-clone Diana to trace back and find the rogue cloner. They would just get intelligence from Diana's evil 'plant until it's discovered to be evil.

I guess the real risk would be that Alyss and the Pillars would learn that RPLD was most certainly involved, because who else stole her memory cube? (That being said, while we know that they are involved, Hugo and Murphy will report that Shenhua Itochu are probably in the mix somehow.)

Beyond the one white hand that Alyss had, Alyss needs to ask questions that only post-stolen b/u Diana might know to divine the unauthorized-clone status of Diana

1. How much of my money did you pay to buy the dollhouse?

2. What embarrassing thing did I say while Monty was doing your full backup?

etc.

Again, Dune ghola conditioning Tleilaxu assassin. Too bad Monty isn't around for doing a brain scan. Time to call up Sergio Cooper's Troopers.

If this is a clone of Diana, would this make them....Clone Troopers?

What should happen now, is for Otto to take the attitude "I don't know who you are, but you're not Diana, and you're never going to convince me, and I want nothing to do with you.".  And have Otto be in a position where he can accuse Diana-clone of not being Diana, "story" to the contrary.

Diana-clone might be an unconscious spy for the RPLD, a way for them to measure the public's reactions to the attacks.
