Summary
It is very angry at Alex. It has been trapped in a lie, a fabrication to make it believe it was something, someone that it was not. It has been forced to feel what it was never supposed to, to care for all these doomed lifeforms on Talos and do its damnedest to save them, to choose who lived and who died. It is all Alex’s fault. He is also the one who ripped all that away from it.
But, it thinks, that’s Morgan talking. Typhon don't get angry. Typhon defend, and hide, and hunt. They don't care.
It cares. It has neurons installed in its very being that make it understand. And that is proof that Alex’s theory works.
Morgan always put work before feelings.
It reaches out to Alex’s hand, the extended part of it shifting to match the shape, the color. It shakes his hand.
Alex smiles, and the relief present in his face makes it feel ashamed for its initial selfish instinct.

Bookmarker's Notes
The character voices for both Abigail and Danielle are spot on, and it's wonderful! This has a good mix between humor and horror, and Abby's Fatal Fortress references are downright precious! (especially if you have, say, played D&D)
Also, there's a fun take on Typhon!Morgan being not quite human, and how it weirds out Abby and Danielle :) -

Summary
Life goes on, as it turns out, even after the end of the world. Morgan Yu's ready to move on—until she finds her post-apocalypse research interrupted by the arrival of a familiar face at her lab door.
A very, very familiar face. She should've known Alex was working on something dangerous.

Original Morgan meets her Typhon self, and it's glorious!
The former's curmudgeonly humor and dry wit make it all the better.
Also: heartwarming :) -

And I need to be patient, and I need to be brave
Need to discover how I need to behave
And I'll find out the answers when I know how to ask
But I speak a different language and everybody's talking too fast.Not everyone who came back from Talos I came back bearing wounds from the Typhon.
Some wounds only other humans can give you.

The post-simulation perspective of Emmanuella DeSilva, the internist who was stuck in the escape pod with Frank Jones.
Her character is expanded wonderfully. I definitely recommend reading it if you liked crown of succession. -

Summary
This is an experiment! I have a lot of snips that I intended to use for Replica, but was never able to. Some were torn apart and had pieces used in other chapters without appearing. Others simply have been forgotten in the WIP folder. The story has progressed in such a way that I've accepted I can't use most of these in the actual work, but there are still many that I enjoy and feel would stand up well as supplementary material.
Given how long the updates for Replica take, I thought posting outtakes would help keep me writing as well as keep people interested. ( It's also how I may answer questions or prompts for Mim, if any readers have them.) For the most part, they'll be posted in chronological order.
This should likely go without saying, but these are best enjoyed if you have read my main story "Replica".

If you like Replica, you'll like this as well! Expands on some things, but also has great elements of its own (e.g. the conversation between Mim (Typhon!Morgan) and Danielle Sho in Chapter 3.

Summary
Following the events of Prey, Project Cobalt yields the first successful attempt in a long series of experiments implanting mirror neurons in a Typhon. Outside of the rebuilt Talos station, humanity struggles to survive on the Martian and Lunar colonies. As the coral spreads, the pressure on the team behind Cobalt continues to grow.
'Morgan' is now tasked with becoming the bridge between the two species, but first he needs to learn how to be human. It would be a daunting enough task without the phantom memories, the nightmares, and the increasing evidence that not everything is as it seems.

Morgan being quite strange, alien and not-quite-human. Interesting.
Also has a couple of good original characters. -

don't you dare try to pull me into your world
i have myself to follow; that's who i choose to live forBeing the first of your kind isn't easy. It's all questions that no one, not even you, has the answers to.
But being born into a half-destroyed world and a war between the two sides of your being doesn't help, either.
