is R corp singularity really a clone ? or we are just watching Hatchery

[hellatze]

K corp singularity is healing bullets. the real singularity is teary thing that produce it.

it seems what we didn't know that how R corp produce singularity. maybe its use the actual chicken that lay egg that eat the food from the deceased clone. ?

It's cloning, it's just not known how they do it.
It's why they also used to be able to use ammo freely, they could clone bullets.

Cloning bullets...? That's a rather silly idea, sure never heard of it. They're just metal, surely it'd be cheaper to produce them? Wings are pretty damn rich after all.

They did mention needing a lot of energy to produce clones, and having to cut the Hatchery activity short due to lack thereof (as L-Corp was the main provider of it, and a generous one to boot).

As far as how the cloning goes, who knows. So far neither Limbus or Lobotomy Corporation or LoR dabble too deeply into it. We know cloning is their main gimmick, which they use to make the toughest mercenaries with their daily internal Hunger Games (atleast you can't get (physically) sick from cannibalizing your own corpses... right?), and that seems to be all we're told so far.

Unless any other things also happen to cover it in greater detail, hm... Well, maybe we'll see Nest R in greater detail in Limbus one day... :P

(Maybe they don't have a Singularity at all, and they just specialize in really tough clone troopers? With the City's technologies, cloning would be piss easy anyway, and L-Corp's energy makes doing it en-masse even easier.)

apparently not just cloning. their suit is weird af. looks like there is still more secret.

R corp mael said R corp replaced..

I'm not sure why cloning bullets seems so weird when Star Trek already had something for food for years. It's also a way for them to keep an army's worth of bullets in stock when necessary.

I mean, if you clone someone, you are just making genetically identical babies using T-Corp's Fast Forward, maybe implanting memories of the previous clone in all of them and have them do a Fortnite.

What you mean is replication, it would entail rearranging atoms/molecules/whatever in the same shape as the original object, unless they have a singularity for that, it'd be cheaper to just make them, since I assume replicating bullets with the above method would not except them from the Head's bullet tax.

Cloning is better suited for biological things, EG fruits, vegetables, animals or people. (Though it'd still be easier to produce some of them, unless you want exact duplicates.)

I suppose "replicating" would better suit non-biological things, yeah. Star Trek does have a sensible approach to it, more or less. They just build things out of raw matter/energy (something like that) on demand, kind of like a super fancy 3D printer. Though I guess in their universe it does (not as tasty) food, too. But it's not meant to produce animals/people.

And yeah I don't see why any form of bullet creation is tax-exempt. They probably just be rich AF from their mercenary gig, and able to shoot enough bullets to blot out the sky.

If some Fixers can (barely) afford to use bullets (like in LoR), then it's chump change for a Wing to equip their employees with guns and bullets (you kinda see it happen in Lobotomy Corp - the clerks have pistols (which sadly are more effective on themselves then escaped Abnormalities), though I suppose E.G.O guns fall outside regulation, or the Head has never seen/heard of them before, considering L-Corp's hidden nature).

I bet Same logic as W train. You don't actually warp your "original body". It is new body/copy/clone or whatever they call with same memory of old one intact.

No. Revert to save states.

To be fair we do get hints that people can get "biological body-recovery" which is backup clone body. Would be odd for a private military group to be handing out life insurance to fixers.
With regards to what Singularities are, their is a theory going around its heavily linked to abnormalities as K Corp one's story sounds heavily like a different version of Child of the Galaxy.

Ture, it was said in the pre-battle story for the Wedge Office, but it felt more like a brain transplant to a new body than giving a fully cloned one new memories, and yeah it was sort of an "insurance plan", but was never said to be from a Wing, I assume the technology to clone you a new body after the old one is mostly destroyed is allowed since it is not "having 2 of the same people at the same time" taboo.

If I recall correctly, Angela questions the existence if cloning technology and Rolland says it exists but oddly enough almost no one uses it
