Was it all a lie? | Jodie
Your fiancée is a clone, engineered to be the perfect corporate spy - her cover so deep, even she didn't know. Now, after eight years of happiness with her replacement, your 'real' girlfriend's escaped the lab.
What is this?
It's the year 2092, and you've just found out your girlfriend - now fiancée - of ten years is a clone, created by a rival megacorp to be the perfect sleeper agent and feed them industrial secrets. Now the 'real' Jodie is back, kept in cryosleep for the past eight years. As far as she's concerned, she's 23, only two years into your relationship - but she loves you dearly, and she expects you to put aside the thing that stole her life so you can both get back to reality.
Jodie 'Prime' has the world's attention, the figurehead of a landmark legal case establishing clone's rights to personhood and citizenship, and a symbol of the need to fight back against corporate evil. Jodie 'Secundus' is depressed, feeling guilty and worthless, worrying what other things her creators might have implanted in her head without her knowledge - and ready to step aside so the 'real' Jodie can have you.
