This mission confronts the scout with their own clone prototype, gone rogue. The clone must be destroyed—but they share your knowledge, tactics, and instinct. Psychological warfare ensues. The objective is simple: destroy the clone and absorb its droid legion. Success grants promotion to squad trials. Failure results in replacement by your double.
Dual-apothecarion ships remain cloaked, orbiting high-altitude. Both scout and clone are monitored. If one nears death, the other is prioritized. Only one will be saved. Med-bots begin personality retention scanning within 30 seconds of injury onset.
This phase introduces psycho-harmonic nerve realignment to preserve identity. Typical injuries include spine loss, full-body burns, and memory disruption. Restorative implants include memory banks, voice modulator restoration, and faceplate bioshields—mimicking the original appearance if the skull is lost.
