007: AMAs, Third Round
So, we've got a load of new people, and that means it's time for me to do the only thing it feels like I get on these comms to do anymore: AMAs.
For you new people, I find it helps when we get together and explain a little bit about ourselves, any powers we have, and our skillsets. That way we know what we're starting with and what we can build off of. So, please, come and introduce yourselves and be willing to answer questions.

There's very little difference between male and female humans. It's more evident with Andalites. Men are better suited to combat and rapid action. Women are more intelligent and deliberate. Not that there isn't overlap or exceptions, or the split-hearted, but the inclinations are strongly set in most people.
[The only gender divides that make sense to him are his own.]

And it works because the Radch is far too big for one person to effectively lead it on their own. It works because she has ruled the Radch for all of its thousands of years of existence. Much like ships have ancillaries, the Lord of the Radch has hundreds of clone bodies, which all undergo the same treatment as ancillaries. However it isn't perfect. Thoughts and ideas can take months to cross from one end of the Radch to the other, even with speed of data transmission between gates. So... you have been at odds with yourself before, I imagine. Stuck on what decision to make.
Now imagine that "you" were spread out over hundreds of bodies and minds that were also all you. The leader of the Radch is of two minds. Literally, in this case. And that was why my lieutenant was killed and why I was destroyed.

Well. That's appalling. And here I believed everyone considered their clones their children.

I suppose I've had the same experience, on a much small scale, but I was always the ship.
