As of yesterday, I have become the assumed age of two years old. I have not underwent any dramatic change nor do I foresee it in the future. This does not give any credence to the human birthday celebration.

Pessimistic ... Interesting. You are ... two years old?

[gunofdis]

That is correct.

[stopwatcher]

... I apologize; I don't understand.

[gunofdis]

Are you wondering why I look the age of twenty but claim I am only two?

[stopwatcher]

It's rude of me, but I admit it.

[gunofdis]

There is nothing rude with asking questions. For an answer, I am a clone. At my time of "conception", as most humans would call it, I looked as I do now.

[stopwatcher]

That's amazing! You come from a world where cloning is possible!

[gunofdis]

Not only is it possible but it is the reproduction method of the upper classes and the military.

[stopwatcher]

Incredible! Was this development necessary?

[gunofdis]

It is not, no. We use cloning to make sure those who are military geniuses and those who can properly control the world stay in their positions. It is a very efficient procedure, however warrants little change, which can be construed as a negative.

[stopwatcher]

... Yes. I expect criticisms of that system would lie very much in the ideals of the person making it, such as an advocacy for democracy. Thank you, that was very informative.

[gunofdis]

Democracy does not exist on my world, therein lies why it is was surpassed by Earth.

You are quite welcome.

[stopwatcher]

It doesn't exist? The idea of a rule by the people? ... Does your world have a name?

I am Kaoru Miki, by the way! Please forgive my curiosity!

[gunofdis]

My planet is called Balmar and it is heavily theocratic.

Kaoru. My name is Cobray Gordon.

[stopwatcher]

Understood. It's a pleasure to meet you, Gordon-san.

[gunofdis]

You can just call me Cobray. I am not from Japan, so honorifics are not required.
