Last Order was an incomplete clone of the third ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City. That is to say, she was an incomplete clone of the third most powerful person in the city as recognized by the city's database. Long story short, the cloning procedure that created her was halted abruptly upon cancellation of the project, resulting in a childlike appearance of the source material. However, the same cannot be said for the rest of them.
In an undisclosed alleyway, a girl who resembled a teenaged version of Last Order, minus the protruding lock of hair, knelt over to closely observe a stray white kitten drinking out of the bowl of milk laid before her. She was wearing the same uniform as the girls who felt the wrath of Abicus earlier. She had night vision goggles over her head and unlike Last Order, her eyes were truly blank and hallway open as if she were constantly tired or bored. A black violin case sits on a wall on her left. She looked up towards the blue sky.
(There's been a breach in the Network, reports Misaka #10032.)
Elsewhere, another girl who looked exactly like her carried a black violin case over her back as she stood on the side walk among a group of students from several schools. The street lights turned red and all of the students walked past her, some taking quick glances at the large case she had hoisted over her right shoulder.
(Yes there has, agrees Misaka #10356.)
In another district of Academy City, another girl sharing this appearance sat at a table outside of a restaurant. A black violin case sat in the chair opposite her.
(This is unacceptable, states Misaka #12044.)
In a park where children were playing, one of the clones poke a log with a stick so a caterpillar could crawl on it.
(No, this is an outrage, replies Misaka #10039.)
In a meadow near the outskirts of the city, a clone laid sprawled out on the grass with her violin case laid a foot on her right.
(Swift action must be taken, adds in Misaka #19090 with a pinch of rage.)
Elsewhere, a clone stared blankly with her mouth open at an orange wall with a fresh coat of paint.
(Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.)
If you haven't already caught on, the clones have a hive mind connecting all of their thoughts and feelings together. That isn't to say that they can't have individual thoughts but rather they can mentally communicate with one another by converting brain signals into electrical impulses. But essentially, it is a single mind communicating through multiple bodies. This is done through Last Order who basically serves as their Wifi hotspot. This is known as the Misaka Network.
Like when the least developed clone has had something precious stolen from her.
The girl in the alley stood up. The cat looked up, startled.
(I agree #13577, states Misaka with determination and bloodlust.)
The girl walked over to the violin case and unhinged the lock on top before doing the same to the one at the bottom. The contents of it are revealed to be machine gun parts. In a few short minutes, she reassembled it into the weapon it was intended to be. The large machine gun clicked as she grasps it steady with both hands.
(We cannot let this slide.)
