One issue that will effect the RF is how dependent on the Detweiler clan is it for leadership? As well as how dependent are the alpha lines ruling thous planets are on outside help for maintaining their genetic "perfection"?

Do they have contingency plans for some disaster that wipes out everything in the Darius system including the Detweiler clan?

I was going to say that AD is such an egomaniac that he wouldn't but then I remembered he does have 6 sons.
So maybe one of them is kept somewhere away ftom his father to take over just in case.

Minor nit. Isn't it three sons who are also exact clones? and while I think you're right that AD would keep them separated so that 'the plan can continue', losing the planet, the rest of the MAlign tech, RF, and all of Darius might make said clones and plans irrelevant, yes?

Six. The second three hasn't done much yet.

Albrecht. Benjamin. Collin. Daniel. Everett. Franklin. Gervais. Do you detect a pattern?

Post GA victory, RF becomes the new Mandarin - dealing in intellectual and genetic corruption instead.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

By God you're right. There is a pattern, an actual method to the madness. The intellectual suicide indicative in the insanity of cloning that 'idiot' shall rightfully end and exert itself, as their common sense approaches Zero!

:lol:

My niece just sent me a text regarding this post. Make that a phone call too...

"Unless his name is 'Zenith,' Uncle. Though the highest point in the genetic line of insanity isn't much better than Zero."

I do find it curious that Albrecht has no living parents and appears to have no siblings(the clones are considered his sons). No cousins either.

Albrecht is probably a lot older than he looks to be, and while it wouldn't surprise me if an Alpha line could accept prolong for a longer period than a 'normal', it also wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't work for them at all [IOW, the therapy duplicates the mods that are built-in to Mesans, and the life-extension mechanism is already saturated.] Either way, if Abrecht was decanted fairly late in Papa's life, his parents could well already have run out their natural, to the extent they were 'natural', spans. That might be particularly true if, as older-model superpersons, they didn't get the fully developed life-span enhancement - that is, they could have used prolong, but it wasn't around in time to do them any good.

Or, of course, as a rational man would, Abrecht's father ceded control of the family enterprise to his more-capable son, and is now ensconced as Governor of Darius. Since we've never actually been there, we wouldn't know about that.

As for siblings and cousins, it's implied that the boys were created specifically to provide him with a cadre of equally capable executive vice-despots as the Plan rolled into it's end-game. Prior to that, it would seem to have been one Detweiler at a time since the line went underground, each better engineered than the last. What I can't figure out is why Evelina didn't get at least one daughter for her own.
