Gently, but with undeniable will divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. (Pt. 5: Chances)
The plan was...well, it wasn't simple, but it sort of was.
While the CLF attacked multiple Clone Processing centers to distract the government, the group with the CLF would target one particular one in the region that'd once been New Jersey. The group with the government would offer their services in putting down their own people.
In the center, they'd split up into several groups. One would fight a fake fight, create a massive diversion, and blow up the room where the samples their DNA were being kept in the process. Another group would secure a teleporter pad. That team would teleport out other teams to steal a ship, steal some med tech to teleport to said ship, and steal a medical database. Another team would go to the main command center and hack into the government mainframe to down the sensornet around the planet so they could escape. And Nightwing himself would accompany the clones to upload the harvested memories to the Mother Brains, left unguarded because of the diversionary fighting, and make sure that was all they did.
Meanwhile, there'd be a standing order for all teams to avoid killing other crewmates, and avoid killing guards unless absolutely necessary.
It was a complicated plan. If a single part fouled up, they might find themselves dead, trapped, or worse. But if it worked, it'd work pretty spectacularly and leave them with medtech, a medical database, the clones helped, and possibly a grateful Council depending on how the fight went, because of the ones seemingly aiding the government.
In some worlds, things that were a million-to-one-chance (exactly a million-to-one) by their nature had to work. Let's hope this world is one of them, eh, mission crew?

Any higher, and they must ask permission of the plot-runners, just to make sure everyone isn't immobilized without enough people to help move them.]

"Stop it!" he called desperately. Jr. didn't know what to do. He didn't want to kill the other U.R.T.V. - his brother. It would have been rather hypocritical to assume otherwise just because they were born differently and created by different people. But the thought of leaving them here alive ... to be used for more cloning and who knew what else, he didn't want that either. Unless somehow, someway the CLF could convince them. Or even if these clones possessed any of what was inside the Mother Brain to one day be able to think for themselves and realize they were more. That they mattered. It was possible, wasn't it? Jr. and Gaignun had went somewhere else, and Albedo as well. Citrine, meanwhile, had stayed loyal to their father. It those choices were possible for they who possessed their own wills, it might have been possibly for this one, collective will to realize something like Jr. had, too.

The U.R.T.V. looked around after he regained himself from the stumble, now weaponless. It was as if he felt something. "... three left," he said. Two others who had jumped into the chaos wouldn't be returning. Now they were three pieces of one will. It was a strange feeling to him.
But if they were killed, that meant they could have been next. Fullfilling the mission meant they would live. The U.R.T.V. took one look at Jr., unharmed, and then made a quick reach for his dropped weapon to finish the mission he was given.

He put his hopes into this merciful action. His hopes that things would end differently this time. That the standard units that remained, as few as there were at the moment, could find some sort of reason beyond this, as they were never able to do in the past. He knelt down next to the U.R.T.V.
"Even if I am different like this," he said, giving a small emphasis with his mental waves, "that means you're different from me, too." He looked over his shoulder at the mayhem - blood and gunshots and explosions. This would all be over soon. "Don't focus on how we're all different." Jr. stood up, hoping. Hoping so much that his words wouldn't go dismissed. "Try to look at how everyone's not so different!"
He didn't wait for an answer, time was too short to speak any longer - the others were headed toward the teleporter. "Make it out of this alive ... and remember that." And then Jr. turned and left, running back into and through the fighting.

"You think it'll work?" he asked, as he caught up. "That they'll take your advice?"

Just like the choices he made. Even if all of them weren't the right ones, they had been ones he made on his own.

He kept running, keeping pace with the others.
