"Told ya so."

"It was like I split, but everything was in different places... but they were the same!"

"That's being me for you. You get used to it. Eventually."

"Must be confusing."

"And thus it is the mark of a superior and not insane, I repeat not insane, intellect that I deal with it with such aplomb."

"First or second gen?"

"I'm a firstie. I think. It can be hard to remember things sometimes. But I'm pretty sure I'm a firstie."

"Good. Second gens can be so full of themselves."

"Hey!"

"You know it's true!"

He summarizes the "script" to the newly-arrived wolves. "So, I was thinking, me, Portal, and Corundum, versus the copycat twins and Simone, and then the wolves get to choose which side they join on the fly when it's time for that."

"Sounds good, but Zeke's the copy cat. The darkness is all mine."

"Huh. I assumed- twins- doubled up on powers." Shrug. "I can be gaffer and cameraman mostly at the same time as fighting. It will be tough but I am not afraid to make sacrifices for my art."

Simone can't resist a science lecture. "Tabby and Zeke are fraternal. They don't share any more genes than you would with a random sibling."

"Well, that explains it. Anyway! Let's get on with the movie!" Flicker, he attached a car battery to the spotlight. "Lights!" Flicker, he messes with the camera, "Camera! Places everybody, argue and then fight in the streets! After a while we move inside and smash some walls and stuff."

They move into position. "Fools! You could never make use of the professor's death engine!"

"It is ours by right, usurpers!"

Flickerflickercameraflicker- "You would put it to crueler use than we ever could, mad Inventor. It's our duty to keep the device in good hands."

"Suffer not the crab-people to live!"

"CUT! No no, crab people? What? That's not relevant. Movie's got to have conservation of detail. Everything we say has to do something."

"The idea is we want to murder the crap-people and they're crab-sympathizers!" 

Kronos does a dramatic sigh. "Sure fine whatever not like I'm paying you lot, we'll let this movie be a random monstrosity instead of a carefully crafted story..." He turns the camera back on.

"Okay, okay, what do you suggest?"

"No no no you're fine, we'll roll with it. Spontanaeity can work."

"Where'd you learn so much about film theory? Not many cinemas still running in burnt out cities."
