Clone 4A

Clone 4A functions as a Mariposan surgical operative who participates in organized tissue harvesting aboard Mariposa. Standing at an operating table, the clone clinically penetrates unconscious officers' sternums with a long, hand-held needle to remove tissue, working alongside attendant clone nurses and a counterpart (Clone 4B). The clone's measured, detached execution of the extraction transforms Mariposa's survival crisis into a direct violation of bodily autonomy and accelerates the collapse of diplomatic trust and violent retaliation.
