"Wait, we're working on the SUDS and Gestalts?" Flowerpatch asked.
"Yes," the man said.
"Nobody even knows where the hardware for those systems are actually located, much less how it all works. That's why no new races have been added to the system," Herod blurted out.
"Your premise is based on the information you have available, but it is flawed due to missing critical information," the human said.
"What information? Every researcher has done at least basic examination of the SUDS system. While we understand and can even upgrade the 'subject' side of the SUDS system, the primary system itself is completely lost," Carthage said.
"Not completely," one of the clones said.
"lost to everyone," another one said.
"who still exists," a third said.
"even in this room," the bearded one said.
"OK, how are you doing that? None of them have comlinks, there is no data-connection between all of you, how are you doing that?" Flowerpatch asked.
"How is directly related, although the information is actually lost on what went into enabling me to do it," the bearded one said.
"OK, who are you?" Violet Fields-663219 asked, standing up. "You've provided me with data you claim is thousands of years old that I've never even seen or even heard hints of. Who are you?"
The bearded man smiled. "All of you are wondering if maybe you've seen my name on scientific papers, all of you are wondering why I am the Overproject Manager of Overproject Eagle Beak and you are not," he said. He looked at one of the Confed Agents. "Are they cleared to know?"
She nodded slowly, almost imperceptibly.
"You want to know who I am?" all of the clones asked, turning and facing the DS's. All of them made it plain they were moving their hands differently, shifting their weight differently, or just breathing different from the others.
"Yes?" Torture asked, flinching slightly.
"I am Legion."
