The Masarus' New Friends by Paolox3 on DeviantArt
The Masaru Collective is still busy with the coastal marine life in the equatorial regions on moon L-22. They are joined by their friend Yoshi, a friend from Earth, whose parents have come to visit Professor Sato on the Taurus System Space Station.For those new to the story: The three Masarus are a collective consciousness comprised of Masaru and Makoto Sato, plus their android brother. The two organic boys are replicants of their father, Professor Hiroshi Sato, who came to the station at the behest of his old friend, Dr. Scott, to study Michael's discovery of collective consciousness. Fascinated by this concept, and already possessing a high ESP quotient, Masaru and Makoto consulted with Xan the Proximan to help finish the entanglement of their minds. Later, the boys built an android brother with a cloned organic brain of theirs.Their friend, Yoshi, is a 'conventional' human, so far unduplicated. Yoshi, however, is also fascinated by the idea of Masaru being one person in three bodies. Of course, the Adens are quite keen to clone Yoshi as soon as possible, who can't wait to have identical brothers.It's also fortunate that the local seaside wildlife is quite friendly, as Marge the Plesiousaurus is very fond of the boys.
