Clone

Countering Anti-Clone Propaganda

The city is buzzing with energy as the rebels media campaign takes off. The streets are filled with posters and billboards with facts and figures about the clones, challenging the government's false narratives. The message is clear: the clones are not second-class citizens, they are human beings with the same rights and dignity as any human.

Rine and her team of rebels set up a command center in a run-down warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Inside, it's a hive of activity as the group works tirelessly to produce content for their campaign. Rine stands in front of a whiteboard, brainstorming ideas with her comrades. She is determined to make sure the truth about the clones is heard.

"We need to focus on personal stories," Rine says, pacing back and forth. "People connect with real-life experiences, not just statistics."

"That's a great idea," agrees Kip, one of the other rebels. "I can reach out to some of my contacts in the factories, see if they're willing to share their stories."

The team quickly gets to work, creating videos, infographics and social media posts that highlight the experiences of real-life clones. They feature interviews with factory workers, soldiers and even clones who were used as replacement bodies for the wealthy. The campaign is a huge success and it starts to change the public's perception of the clones, creating more empathy and understanding towards the clones and their rights.

Rine continues working late into the night with Kip, writing and organizing and preparing for the press conference later that afternoon. The day dawns bright and early and all five rebels stand together at the front of a makeshift stage that had been constructed on one end of town square. It is covered with a black tarp to protect the stage from the elements and the crowd gathered outside. There are only three reporters present: Rine, the leader of the Rebel Alliance, a middle aged man named Tim, and an older woman called Sarah.

Tim steps forward and speaks, trying to get everyone's attention.

"Good morning citizens of Avalon!" he greets enthusiastically. "Welcome to the biggest news ever!"

A cheer rises throughout the area followed by applause as Rine steps toward the stage and addresses the crowd.

"Thank you for joining us today," Rine says. "This is our last rally before the launch of our new campaign and we want to make it as big a spectacle as possible. We've worked hard preparing for this moment. We've spent many days preparing our stories and talking to others who have experience working in factories during the harvest season. And now we'll be bringing you our new story: the life of our newest creations and how we came to exist, how we were born and what our lives will become.

As the applause dies down, Rine begins her speech.

"The first thing I'd like to tell you is thank you very much to the people who helped us develop our stories, our graphics, our videos, our infos, and the amazing community who helped shape our words so they resonate with the masses. As you might know, we are part of a rebel group called the Resistance Movement, which fights against slavery and oppression. This movement has a goal of achieving peace and stability throughout the galaxy, a goal that is slowly gaining strength. We've dedicated ourselves to spreading freedom and happiness to those who are enslaved. And we have fought against oppression and discrimination wherever we went. For months we've been traveling and performing in front of large audiences, trying to spread awareness of our existence so that other oppressed cultures may feel compassion and sympathy toward the suffering of clones, whether they are criminals or not. Today, we will be launching our new campaign. It starts with a video that we posted on our social media accounts, 'Rebel Alliance', and goes viral worldwide. All you have to do is click the link. We've made several copies to distribute around the planet, and after tonight, I'm hoping the message will finally get out."
