Imagination

One daydream that we have involves going into the future. We imagine this is normal for some people because of the gadgets and technology available in the future, and maybe that is true for us to some extent, but not as much as you might think.

The thing in the future we wish to find is cloning technology. In our daydreams, we go to the future so that we can be cloned -- split into individuals, and each given our own body. Usually, those of us who are cloned include Samantha, Mark, and Daryl, though at times others among us are given the chance to have our own bodies as well.

Then, usually, we return to the present. Samantha, of course, wants to contact her boyfriend immediately, and let him know the good news, while Mark wants to have the opportunity to sit down with someone he knows, so he can talk with her. Often, though, it is Samantha who wants her own body, and the rest of Legion is more passive on the subject. It does not surprise us that Mark is more hesitant about getting his freedom, since there is less for him in the world than there is for Samantha.
