Sherry Birkin had indeed succeeded. Using the vast number of Mongar-Mongar specimens preserved by the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium in Research Lab 101 beneath Kriyak Palace as material, she had truly given birth to a second Mongar-Mongar consciousness!

And the clones loaded onto the cargo ships for destruction in the star had not been controlled by the second consciousness at all, but by the third
