Lucia Cordova had taken over a section of the Clop class cruiser " Charleston", fully equiping it to function as a assembly line for a new line of cyborgs. While it was tempting to settle in the asteroid their host had kindly lend to them, Lucia wasn't keen on giving any third parties the chance to find out about her experiments. Right now her priority was to bolster the ranks of her aunt merry band of traitors and Lucia's children made the perfect soldiers.
A few years ago, Lucia had secured blood samples from a number of Federation aces which allowed her to clone their cells in order to mold the outward appearence of this new batch of cyborgs. Today she would activate the one based on Craig Snow genetic mold. Of course he was much younger in appearence compared to the original donor of his materials who was now in his 50s.
The purple haired, lab coat wearing woman happily smoked the contents of a stylish wooden pipe, appreciating the labor of her work up close as his recognition program booted up for the first time in this form.

The copy of the Rending Blizzard, Craig Snow, opened his eyes, having the same brown eyes, his appearance from his days before the Gryps Conflict, but with short, brown hair, as Craig's genetic code could not account for him dying his hair. The copy took a few steps forward, looking around, then looked at Lucia, with a rather stoic expression on his face.

The purple haired woman crouched down to observe Damian's privates with fascination. Just like the other male models she had fully equipped her youngest son.
" Perfection." Lucia stood back up, her purple gaze looking up at that serious face of his.
" My dear son, how do you feel?" She had installed all sorts of combat data into his neural network but for all intent and purposes he was still a child in the process of learning. Naturally she had based his personality on the original source of his genetic code.

Damian shook his head and grunted.
"Sorry about that, not used to the whole emotion thing, yet. I was just activated. Though, my body feels like something is...missing. ...I'm not wearing clothes, am I?"
Damian had Craig's voice, yet also some attributes of his younger attitude, without the depression.

The doctor would let out a soft giggle upon hearing Damien's inquiry. She would walk away from him in order to find him a more appropriate attire.
" Try these on." She had brought him a box containing clean underwear, a neatly polished pair of shoes along with trousers and what looked like an EF khaki uniform devoid of any insignia. While Damien dressed she would brief him in a few more important issues.
" In order to keep your skin healthy you are going to need to hydrate daily. That exoskeleton of yours can easily shrug off any physical damage but maintaining your skin, hair and blood is equally as important to your functions." Lucia would explain rather simply.
" Now let's go introduce ourselves to the rest of the family."

Damian put on the clothes, as Lucia explained everything to him.
"I think that should be obvious. I can actually feel my perception, rather than just having it. And, while I might not get hungry, the feeling of eating might get...addicting, so to speak. Not that it's a bad thing, but...I'd rather not arouse suspicion."
As Damian finished putting on his clothes, he put on a watch on his left wrist, then made sure the face of the watch was on the inside of his wrist, rather than near the back of his hand. He then noticed his reflection in the watch, feeling something strange as he noticed the color of his hair.
"...Why does looking at my hair color piss me off?"

" Hmmm..." Lucia pondered deeply when she heard Damien frustration regarding his hair. It was rather strange considering she had not programmed that particular quirk.
" That's a very good question, dear. Well if you don't like it then I can most certainly change it." It was nothing a little dye couldn't fix. When it came to dealing with her children, Lucia was more cheerful and doting, a far cry from the detached indifference she felt towards people

"It's more along the lines of...unfitting. Though, pissed off is much more thorough. Perhaps, white would be a better color. Who did you base my looks on, again? I don't think I caught that."

" Craig Snow, a Federation Ace from the one year war." Lucia would show Damien a picture of the man circa 0079 in her lab tablet. The resemblance was certainly uncanny.
" White, huh..." She would leave Damien to his thought while she put gloves on, looking for white hair dye which she had somewhere in one of the drawers. After half an hour she would be done giving him the desired change.
With his new look, she would walk alongside Damien through the Charleston halls towards the hangar Bay. There were four mobile suits in the hangar: The Zorin Soul, the RX-0 unit 1 Unicorn, a Rezel command type and a REGZ Custom, that last one being the mobile suit Damien had been programmed to pilot.

Damian looked at the picture of Craig, noticing it was the one with all his friends, at the end of the war, with his arm in a sling.
"Yeah, I look like him, alright. What's his story? That look on his face doesn't exactly give the impression that he's a happy camper."

" Combat takes an emotional toll on people, Damien. Mr.Snow like many others simply fought until his breaking point from the looks of it." Lucia was not that familiarized with Craig's personal story, the man had just been the source of Damien genetic material and nothing else to her so she displayed no attachment whatsoever.
" The Unicorn and the Zorin belong to your brother and sister. You are welcome to take that Regz if you desire. It's been extensively modernized so I am sure you will find its performance quite pleasing."

"It looks pretty nice. I think I'll enjoy using the Re-GZ. Besides, that Unicorn looks a bit difficult to pilot, despite the versatility."
Damien looked at his Re-GZ, noticing it had the same sort of stark white and navy blue paint that both Craig's GM Type C and GM Sniper II had, during the One Year War. Damien looked a little perplexed at the Beam Rifle the Re-GZ had been given, but wasn't going to complain about it.
"That Beam Rifle looks like a basic model, but basic can be good, sometimes."

" WHat would you rather have? I am going to be honest with you, we're going to get into some heavy combat very soon and I would like you to be properly equipped to handle an enemy that is going to outnumber us." Lucia had not taken notice of the REGZ particular weapon until Damien brought it up.
" If you require extra fire power all you have to do is request it." The Charleston had more weapons on board than they had mobile suits. Strangely enough all the other mobile suits sat unarmed in the hangar, since they were usually armed minutes prior to a sortie.

"Hm... I'll need to see, for a moment..."
Damien took a look at the list of weapons that a Mobile Suit could have, then came to a decision.
"The beam assault rifle should do the trick. It may not have the piercing quality of the usual assault rifle, but an automatic weapon can be harder to avoid. It's also a bit more silent, than most other guns."
