[voice] 01: hit me on my burner prepaid wireless

[The message comes through showing Eda in some sort of hotel room. Someone is out of town, out of the country during all this clone chaos. It's at night, because timezones, and Eda would be going out but her handlers are watching her closely. This 'free vacation' has a catch, it seems.]

I'm in London for a 'goodwill' mission for ImPorts. And I'm hearin' crazy ass rumors coming from over the pond, also I've been banned from coming back home until stuff has been handled back.

[She comes up closer to the camera, an actually concerned look on her face.]

Guys, what the hell is going on?

Ah, Eda. You picked a fine time to take a journey overseas, it would seem.

We are under attack. Impersonators are carrying out acts of mischief. I suspect they seek to damage the reputation of imPorts among the public.

Shenanigans, ma'am. I'm certain our local superheroes will be quite capable of handling it.

[nuns4money]

[...A robot. Ok. She's seen stranger.]

That's... not really specific to the problem.

[nuns4money]

Trust me, I only took this trip because it was free and I was curious to see what this Earth's London was like.

...Holy shit. You see mine?

[She wants to know if she's popular enough to be cloned, ok?]

[jojoceanman]

You might just want to stay there and not come back.

[snarkbot]

I assume because most problems in this world are solved similarly.

[dun_moch]

I am happy to say that I have not. It is likely that you are too new an arrival to have your own imposter prepared. This subversion has clearly been in the works for quite some time.

[It would have taken a lot of research and study, unless their enemies have another way of making their impersonators so convincing.]

[nuns4money]

Listen, I have to come back here within some time, all my stuff is there and I think it's illegal for me to live anywhere else.

Just what is so fuckin' awful that it's a good idea that I don't come back?

[nuns4money]

Yeah, but this problem doesn't sound common. Is everything ok?

[nuns4money]

Have you run into yourself?

[And if he killed the clone she wants all the dirty details.]

[jojoceanman]

In general, this world is full of insanity and most of it seems to be in the United States. We're all better off not living in this country.

[thanks murrika.]

[dun_moch]

I have not, thankfully. Anyone who dares to attempt imitating me will be made to regret it, I can assure you.

You say that they have banned you from returning. Can you tell me more?

[nuns4money]

Well, I heard on tv there were zombie attacks in the Porter Cities... I thought to myself that's its bullshit until someone from the place tells me it's true. Are there Zombies, Count?

They got the hotel on lockdown, it's a nice hotel but I don't like having to stay in one place for a while.

[nuns4money]

[Jotaro, your (soon to be) Ex-Wife and Kid are American.]

You're still not telling me the insanity going in the US right now.

[snarkbot]

The problems in my experience are never common. While having issues is, each new disaster is distinctly unique, ma'am.

[dun_moch]

There are indeed, at least in De Chima. Unusual behaviour has also been reported in Nonah, and random crimes in Heropa.

The danger is serious, but I hardly think it merits confining you and the others. You should be free to move about as you please.

[jojoceanman]

[yeah and he's never home, what's your point??]

It's hard to describe. Essentially... there seem to be doppelgangers running around and committing crime.

[nuns4money]

Maybe they think, with us being ImPorts we might cause trouble.

[Said at once sardonic ally and playfully.]

[nuns4money]

Are you playing with me, robot?

[dun_moch]

And yet here in the Porter cities, they look to imPorts to deal with this trouble. An interesting situation, wouldn't you say?

[snarkbot]

Not at all, ma'am. I'm not trying to minimize the difficulty of the current issue with what appear to be clones, I believe, but rather emphasize that you shouldn't worry. To put it a different way, we got this.

[nuns4money]

So you're a confident little bot,
ain't ya? What can you do?

[nuns4money]

[Damn Jotaro.]

Doppelgangers... that's new.

[She was expecting something pedestrian, like a natural disaster or terrorism.]

[nuns4money]

It's funny... and pretty ironic.

Hey Count... take care of yourself alright?

[After all, maybe he might have work for her.]

[snarkbot]

I will undoubtedly assist in coordination. I do have a computer for a brain, after all.

[nuns4money]

I change my mind you're a good guy, robot.
