[He smiles a bit, sitting back from the screen for a moment.]

So, it seems that we'll be leaving this place. Some of you seem...upset.

Not I! I am quite pleased to be rid of this place. But if it bothers you that much, I, the great GENIUS Dist the Rose, propose this:

Given the right materials, I could begin making replicas. In fact, I could even replicate the entire island. If we bring one Exile with us, I could make many more from them. You see? It matters not if I make a hundred or a hundred thousand! We could simply repopulate the island!

[He folds his hands in his lap, pleased.]

It's a simple solution, directly from the mind of a genius. You may thank me now.

Also, it'd be hard for new people to be born if everyone is the same gender, as well. All in all, I think it might just be easier to save the people that live here already. Plus I'm sure that would make them very happy. [500,000 grateful, smiling faces... Ah, sounds like paradise!]

Why would they need to breed, when they could simply be made from my machines?

That's a fair point. Ah, but what if they wanted to? Would it be possible with these replicas?

That is inconsequential to my goal.

I see! I suppose that's true. But if create all these people, don't you hold any responsibility for them at all? [He's not asking in an accusatory manner, merely curious.]

[He laughs slightly.]

I see now. Did Jade send you?

[Blinkblink?] Jade? Afraid I don't know any Jades. Why? I'm honestly just curious. I've never met anyone who could create people in such a number, so I'm wondering how you deal with it. Have you made that large of a number before?

Not that many, but I have made more than a few.

I've overseen some work on homunculi, but I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing here. How do you go about creating them, anyway?
