They never did, at least not over time. There have been many Kusaris. E.g. Chen talked about getting a "replacement Kusari," Oasis cut off her head in Fire and Rain, the vamps lopped off her head and she came back, etc. I meant "a single Kusari at a time". Oasis have always been a singular being, even though we know that she has a huge supply of extra bodies, we have never seen more than one Oasis alive and active at the same time. And for that reason I suspected hC could not have more than one Kusari alive/active at the same time. But if it's basically cloning tech, they could have as many Kusaris active at the same time as they wanted - and we have evidence for at least two, since we know that Kusari and Sasha's bodies are seperate.

Didn't you post a version with each chapter NAME in the line of boxes?

Not trying to spec, just musing/wondering... when did Oasis get her "extra bodies" ? She was pyrokinetic at a young age (when she was at Orsintos) but when did she get her technological immortality? It could have been when she was young, and she just never had a chance to re-spawn when she was at Orsintos... or Steve could have created her rebirth facility after he adopted her from the orphanage after Orsintos. Were there a bunch of 12-yr-old Oasis bodies in the rebirth facility at some point?

and my first thought was that this puts the Great Snowball War in an interesting light. So I suppose I should have been suspicious with the evil of Frozen beer.
Happy to a figure it out the day before though riffs facial expression was a pretty big Telegraph. I've been wondering about the awkward that's impossible line.
Seems the spec rules are a bit looser in 20 + but I'll be good. Shall look forward to going back through and reading everything. I guess this does give us some hint of how deep Sasha's ties of evil went in the company.

Made a better version that has chapter names as well. And just for the hell of it, I also made one that you thought you remembered. New version 2.1 with readable chapter names Boxy version 2...UGH with eye-gouging chapter names

Also makes you wonder what Kusari was thinking and feeling while looking at someone else with the same face that she saw in the mirror every day. And if "our" Sasha knew about Kusari, or even her own situation?
