Clone_001 has made 50 trips down to the uncharted planet and has died 50 different ways. I initially planned to change her name after each death, to honor the fallen. But now I imagine every clone is given that moniker to trick them into thinking they are the first, that no horrible fate befell anyone before them, that this science expedition will be noble and safe and mostly mineral-collecting. Never mind that she's outfitted with a battleaxe and biker helmet instead of a microscope.

Some of her deaths are noble. Most are embarrassing. She tried to help a Nest Guardian in need; it turned on and trampled her. She dropped an explosive container at her feet. She jumped off a cliff while low on health. She was mauled by a defective vending machine. These things happen in Shattered Planet; they come with the bizarre and always-surprising territory. What matters is that Clone_001 (v51) gets some sweet swag out of her predecessor's demise.
