Louis Mattioli died at Epsilon Reticuli. I did not know that Aneerin grew him a new body with a cloning chamber, and used his last brain scan on Alpha Centauri to bring him back. That wasn’t a technology that was widely used on us back then. Sure, the Peloran used it on themselves all the time, but they didn’t work right on Earthborn humanity’s more complicated DNA. Or so I thought. So everybody thought. But Aneerin had been a busy little tinkerer since our first failed experiment, and Louis came out of the cloning chamber exactly the man he’d been the day he left Alpha Centauri. After a new name and some edited records, he was a new man with a new mission to guard the Wolfenheim Project. It’s amazing what technology can do these days.
