I had no idea you were so skilled with the flute my good China. Why hadn't you told me sooner?

Well assuming we are just simulacrums or copies of the original, with all the thoughts, memories, and abilities of the original, then it shouldn't really matter regardless. We're real enough in the situation we are in, and it means that if we were in fact to die here, it would have little consequence to those that originally knew us... or our originals.

In that respect it could also be that we are in fact the originals, and that identical copies of ourselves are leading our normal lives for us. But whether it's the copy or the original hardly matters if they are completely identical anyways. Although if we are the originals that means that your death would affect your nation back home, although most likely only ever so slightly, as the other you could replace the gap.

That is a very interesting theory you have, aru.

My thought is, however, that while we are here, someway and somehow, time freezes back home or goes by very slowly.

That is quite possible, although I suspect myself, that it's also a distinct possibility that when we return, friends of ours may wonder where we've been for the last few years. Well except for me of course. I've always been a bit of a wandering free spirit.
