>>5242522Depending on how you wish to interpret cloning, not sure that would be a satisfying way to achieve safety for UZI. Cloning is definitely a technology that at least for baseline humans readily available to a techpriest.
But in the example of QVO even if he has the memories of Cawls friend Friedische and a body like his, he doesn't see himself as a continuation. And somewhat rightly so.
If you woke up one day and were informed that you were the clone of a being whose memories and identity you inherited, but are not the same physical being as that person, it wouldnt be hard for some people to think: "I guess I am a new person in their image. I shall be a separate person then"
Many techpriest clone apprentices from themselves too. So the notion of them being different is there.
Now if you mean making her brain as tanky and resistant to harm as we can, but cloning a physical body for her in the event of harm, that's entirely different and much better imo. It's what would work well for Talos too.
But I think there are levels of continuity and survival Talos is prepared to accept.
