xp_journalEver since the Skippy incident, I know there are people who have been having a hard time with the things they had to do. I understand, I’ve been struggling with it myself.
I’ve been running some experiments these past few days, mainly for Jamie’s sake. I think everyone might be interested to hear some of the things I found out.
Skippy went through a great deal of genetic manipulation. To the point that it actually damaged his genetics. We all saw the results of a dupe falling unconscious or going into shock, not what Jamie’s dupes normally do.
From the way his cells were degrading, it seems that Skippy was dieing. Probably in a year, two at max if he didn’t use his powers too much, Skippy himself would probably have gone through much what his dupes went through. But, well, much slower over a period of time.
For myself, I’m still struggling with what I did but some of this helps, in a way. Skippy and his dupes…weren’t going to live a full and healthy life. In fact, it probably would have been much more painful than anything that happened to him before hand.
The damage is pretty extensive, to the point that had he been captured we would probably not have been able to reverse the damage.
Does it make it ‘right’ what I had to do? I guess that’s for each of us to decide. Does this help ease the fact that I had to do it? Some, yes. Surprisingly.
