Jessica took a sip of her drink as she considered how to approach the story. "There's a mantra that I inherited from the person I was cloned from. A petty crime could have been stopped but wasn't, and the criminal killed somebody very important to us. It would have been absolutely nothing to prevent that, but... sometimes you make a selfish mistake. I didn't technically live it, but I'll have it in my memory forever. And that reinforced the mantra; with great power, there must also come great responsibility."
"I have the strength, the training, the intelligence... I have the legacy of truly great people on my shoulders. I'm not saying any of that to brag, not out of ego. I'm saying that so you get a picture of the kind of responsibility I feel. And I'm strong enough to bear that responsibility. I refuse to let that go to waste," Jessica said. "So, no. I do what I have to do. I'm doing it on a smaller scale than I have in the past, but I'm doing it."
