...very unseasonable rains can be seen in the distance from the shores of Acapulco.
The Brockton Bay Protectorate starts organizing volunteers to be transported or teletransported in batches to it. Heroes, rogues, villains, anyone's assistance is appreciated. A rendez-vous point is set for non-Protectorate capes wishing to volunteer, and Protectorate capes are informed of the situation via communication devices.

"Nope, total bullshit, didn't work either time. Damn, that would have been nice."

"So you've got medium-term memory not stored onboard Glam The First, that's still something."

"Well, that suggests another test. Make another dupe and see if they can telepath each other like my bots can."

New copy!
Copies look at each other.
"I'm one."
"I'm two."
"Guess that makes me zero," says original.
"And we have a limited form of telepathy anyway," says one.
"He can get us to act as if we had some information he does, even if apparently we can't do the same to him," says two.

"Yeah, the question is does two know what I whisper to one," says Lorica, and she goes up to one and says, "Minneapolis."

"We meant it more in how we're non sapient constructs with a personality that exist because of powers," says two.
"But in theory we could have this," one says, and he's holding an earpiece that's the twin to one that appeared in two's left ear.
"That was me, by the way," says zero.
"It's really weird that we can make stuff like this appear this easily but not believe our copies telepathy," one muses.
"...it is weird," zero agrees. "You're not actually any different than the earpieces."
"Maybe it's a subconscious expectation thing?" asks two.

"Imagine your duplicates are telepaths. They don't use your power per se so why shouldn't they have their own?"

"...Did that like. Let you absorb his memories, or was it squinty problems."
mxglam
"No new memories," says zero.
"I think it was the squint thing," supplies two.
"We never actually did try using an earpiece, did we?"
"...that could probably be what would have happened if we tried."

"Why? Other accessories work, why not communicators? They're not even technically complicated if you go with a walkie-talkie."

"Well, the squinting threshold seems to be 'much more detail than you'd get from looking from a reasonable distance,' so maybe that counts for sounds or... other kinds of information, too?"

"Okay, we can fold that into the range tests, then."
