001/150/2016 - In Dawes Crater City, Mars, a facsimile of Wyatt Earp is printed. The head of security needs a bit of help to control the miners and convinces his superiors that a lawman from Earth's history is the correct choice to bring about a bit of order.
Earp wakes up complete with his memories and personality intact. At first we get a fish-out-of-water story but it doesn't take long before he gets his footing and starts asserting himself. At first he struggles with whether he is a real person since he is a manufactured copy of a man long dead.
There is a fair bit of exploration of the meaning of life when you are the 2.0. The old saying, The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same came to mind in the final action sequence. The last scene made me happy for its cleverness and made me wish the story was longer.
An excellent start to the issue.
