Well, if Xan 2 was made imperfect, then it would make sense that no matter how good a roll was made making Xan 3, it was still slightly more imperfect than Xan 2, as Xan 2 was originally imperfect.

It does, which is concerning on multiple levels...

I'm betting on skip glitch myself.
Wasn't there something about degrading quicksilver?

Hm, you are correct. Please wait, I am adding data to the AM's entry on the wiki. And Rem's maybe......

Depends on how the cloning mechanism works, and I think it'd preserve Xan2's stats if he rolled a 5. Guess I'll find out in whenever Heph gets around to discussing my sentence :P

Yeah, I feel like the 'imperfect clone' effect is the result of a more complicated series of behind-the-scenes rolls PW is doing, where as your main will roll is just affecting the up-front quality.
Long story short, all your clones have errors. But some have fewer than others.

You know, you should create clone and send the new clone back to sword and keep most original clone in ice after that. This way imperfections don't accumulate any further.

Don't worry, I've done things to ensure I'll live on.

Pretty much as much as is possible; if I'd been able to put a clone or two down on some of the mission planets I'd have been even more secure in my future. Unfortunately, twas not to be.

So... do I get my body back or am I still in limbo or am I just looking insane in the infirmary talking to a voice that may or may not exist?

Assume you have your body back for now.

I just thought of something... of all the UWM enemies we know of, there are only two that are purely mechanical and one that is semi-mechanical that would be likely to wake up with that sort of signal. And of those three only one of them is capable of being "delicate" and independent. Said enemy is probably one of the most overpowered beings ever created, right there with amp specialist or even worse than them.

If that's what it is they activated, then this will be hard. Even more so if there is more than one. Good thing they have the god computer on their side...

The three mechanical enemies I was thinking of were killdroids and assorted drones, gunner bots and arbiters of peace.
I notice that Arbiters of Peace are not in the wiki.
This should get you started: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136149.msg5751226#msg5751226
And here's a fight with one: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108083.msg5409314#msg5409314
And here's a magistar we should totally kill: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106279.msg3203746#msg3203746

Now that you've linked it, it is curious to see what "Next synthflesh?" could be (unless that's just a marketing trick, of course).

It won't be arbiters of peace, they are legally war crime and used for magisters bodyguards. And far too expensive to deploy just to guard a single box in a bank.
Killdroids and others are what we most likely have here. Anyway, it's all just problems.
