Is this concept original to you?
11722225
It is derived from the idea of "Blanks" from Project Horizons.
11722225
like the author said in PH their were flux clones created in an old research facility, blanks, they were intended for one purpose as basically spare parts for ponies who could aford it, flux clones normally are hollow soulless vessels when first born, and most stay that way basically forever, however if the right circumstances are met or if an outside force intervenes they can 'spark' a soul, and eventually a mind and will of their own
in the caise of DP in this story however instead of just a spark, shes geting an entire copy of herself, backed up, and etched into each new copy
Think of the Gary's, but ya know...not homicidaly insane.
11722323
A mix between Gary and Gen-3 Synths were my inspiration. Clones with a telepathic leash.
Keep going mate. Don't let any neighsayers stop your passion. Skill will come with time. If you end up wanting to you can go back and tweak and refine things to make it better as your skill grows. Everything starts somewhere, including inspiration. There is no such thing as an original concept. All things are causally bound, no things spark from a vacuum. And if they do there was something else there that we just cannot see yet that ignited it.
Daisy dying is going to be a theme, isn't it?
11723074
Affirmative.
I am absolutely loving this story so far. Keep up the wonderful wordsmithing, Veprem. Warm wishes and fond regards, ThatBeardGuy.
Talk about your life flashing before your eyes... You get to relive every single death.
11723762
Well, your first death, anyway. It's the one every Daisy remembers.
I am very much enjoying the story looking forward for more
So flux clone in not same thing as a Blank. Did they stole and reverse-engineered Blanks from Golden?
11725165
I actually prefer it remain vague whether Helix took the idea from Goldenblood, or the other way around. Either way, Helix was obsessed with making perfect, complete copies of a pony that retained their minds and memories. Golden settled for an organ farm.
11725182
Yeah, there were hints on inter-ministry espionage in Horizons, so probably it can stay vague. The flux itself was result of some limb-wrenching by Twi's subordinates, because the diluted form they used in civilian production was obtained by Flim&Flam from Goldenblood and then found out. Twilight re-created concentrated form.
11725193
Hence why Helix didn't start seeing success until the production of IMP was in full swing, and she got access to samples.
Now I think of Mirror Pool...
11725534
That is certainly something that could have gone into the research.
The concept for this story is great, and I'm really enjoying it so far. Of course, I also enjoy the Longtalons references, but it's great regardless. Looking forward to seeing how many creative ways Daisy ends up dead.

If Daisy somehow caught up with Kaz immediately afterwards:
11766118
A visual reference for Daisy.
11766118
The reason Daisy sort of gets attached to Kasimir, and affectionately refers to him as "Vomit-Bird," is because she recognized that he was just as disgusted by the Pit as she was. Out of everyone else watching that gruesome fight, Kaz was the one Daisy noticed having a conscience. That made them kindred spirits in her eyes. Good people trapped in terrible circumstances.
She was used to Talons being indifferent to the suffering of others, so seeing one who wasn't was refreshing for her.
11769166
He did stand out in that regard, so I suppose if anyone was going to leave a mark on her he might be the one. If I remember right from the original story, even most of the slaves were excited to watch and largely indifferent to the massacre, so it's pretty bad when one of the hired mercenaries is the only one who appears to be upset by the spectacle.
This story definitely took a different turn than I expected, to the point I get the feeling that it may have taken a different turn than you expected too, but overall I really liked how it turned out. It was just as long as it needed to be, and had a happy ending despite everything. A lot of good lessons for the characters too.
11771985
Thank you!
Longtalons inspired me to write a "you know what's going to happen, but not how the characters get through it" type of story. The instant the reader learns where Project Phoenix is, they know Daisy's status quo is going to dramatically change.
It was going to have much more of a Dumb Ways to Die in the Wasteland vibe, but I'm happy with what it became instead.
11771985
One character in particular was very much inspired by Kasimir's story. Masque.
His life is how I imagine things may have gone for Kaz if he never joined Talon, and continued to have bad luck finding other work. That's probably how it was for a lot of griffons who didn't want to be mercenaries. They either struggle their whole lives to barely get by, or eventually give in and sign up. Or they're claimed by the wasteland, like Masque nearly was until Daisy happened upon him.

A funny little note; the Daisies do get found out for what they are. By NCR tax collectors, of all things. They noticed that a few dozen citizens had the same name, looked into it, and decided to apply a bureaucratic solution to the cloned mares. The Daisies were assigned numbers. POV Daisy is #42. Soldier Daisy is #17. Moonlight's Daisy is #36.
11774640
That's pretty funny regarding the Daisies being found out by tax collectors, but it makes sense and plays into jokes about you can't escape the tax office.
And I definitely picked up the parallels between Kaz and Masque, and you're definitely right about Kaz likely falling into a similar position if he hadn't joined Talon Company. He'd have probably scraped by with his father for a while, but once he passed Kaz would have been in pretty deep trouble. The citizens of Oatsfield probably wouldn't run him out of town or anything, but if he fell to the point of picking through trash for food he'd probably just wander off into the wastes to die.
11775077
The Daisies are damn lucky Red Eye never learned what they were. An infinitely expendable population of easy-to-manage earth ponies who were immune to radiation and taint. He'd have Fillydelphia fully rebuilt and the crater mined dry in no time.
11775276
A potentially inexhaustible army too, though using them in that fashion would have probably been inefficient. Maybe treating them as cannon fodder to probe dangerous areas would have been better, and I'm sure Talon Company would have appreciated them taking the initial fire from raiders or whatever.
Using them in the crater would have been an excellent use for them, or any kind of potentially dangerous labor.
11775730
While POV Daisy wasn't a great fighter, there were some, like Soldier Daisy, who spent most of their lives in mercenary groups and militias, and got pretty good at it. The Goddess specialized some of her pawns over time.
I'd buy that
That's terrifying and sad....
Damn it
This was a good story
11791485
Thank you!

Sometimes, that's all there is to say.

Sunburn Solar Plant worker: "What a long day. I feel like death."
Daisy 17:

"You feel like death, huh? Describe it to me. I'll fact-check."

The typical Daisy Pusher experience:
11795554
Do they eventually own up to who they were and the fact they could come back after dying, or do most of them still try to keep it secret or in their past? At this point I guess it doesn't matter much to admit it.
11797539
Most tell those they trust. They never could before with the Goddess in their head. Daisy 42 couldn't explain herself to Masque until after Maripony was destroyed.

Now I wanna read this interaction 😂
