It matters not, though he kept up his end of the bargain, a maniacal doctor by the name of Johanne of sadism tortured Hope in order to activate our connection. I now believe my power lies in her pain which is both poetic and entirely upsetting.
My only solace is that the longer we inhabit these powers, the more powerful they become. They naturally shift. I know not what the next phase will be but I will focus on that pain and use it somehow. And still I'd rather my daughter never BE in pain.
It seemed more like an experiment, as if Cassius had witnessed a connection between the two of us. When she'd been in pain. In this case, having been shot at the UNA base.
Yes. I believe there's a doctor who quite possibly might be a cloned android that needs to bleed.
It seems Caroline also dealt with Johanne, and when given the chance, she ripped his throat out. Not long after, he entered the room again, good as new, his body still lying bloodied and dead on the ground.
And, Hope and I had our own Johanne. This occurred simultaneously, did it not?
I suppose every Johanne could've simply been using that name as a moniker, but I am in the middle of my own investigation on that front. I'm going to reach out to the others Cassius offered his brain services to. If we all describe about the same man, then yes, Clarke. If not exactly the same, either he's been cloned, he is a form of technology that you keep reminding me to move away from, or he's in a cult that brings with it similar hairstyles, all to lead us in every which direction but the one we should be following. Perhaps he's our deranged white rabbit and we're all Alice.
Androids don't bleed unless they come here like us. All of the androids who've been pulled here have been turned human. And none of them have shared a face—at least not yet. My friends who were androids have been gone for a while, but they never mentioned being a part of an assembly line.
This surgery didn't let you take pictures, I take it?
I didn't exactly have my faculties. And I did mention the neural surgery he'd performed, the original offer Cassius had made. He gave it back, but for a time, we were without our neural implant. It was quite horrific for Hope. And a part of the reason why I'd like to get my hands on whatever Johanne happens to be. Be it an android assembly line turned sadistic human being, or something more baffling.

Plus, whoever intervened here knew we were doing it. They were ready to step in.
It means we're being tracked.

I think we have a dueling AI problem on our hands, and that we always have.

Were you aware that Hope, Caroline and I underwent brain surgery courtesy of Cassius' invitation?
no subject
Why would you do something like that?
[It sounds like a crazy decision.]

[Clarke knows that if it were her daughter, she would've locked her in a room rather than let her leave.
... Which is a problem she's working through.
So, she doesn't tell him that.]

It's one thing to think that your child's pain can be your own, and another for it to be literal.
And another for an enemy to know it, too.
[Because that is the next, natural step. That's where her mind goes, so she speaks that truth.]

Cloned and android don't go hand in hand, at least biologically.
When Caroline ripped out his throat, did he bleed?
no subject
Now we have clones to worry about. Wonderful.
