The Sisters of Juliet' were a group of around 1500 varyingly-accurate duplicates of Juliet-178, a Clockwork Cherub of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.
History
Creation
One day in 2019, Juliet-178 was keen to watch a new movie screened by the Department of Cinematography even though she had a full day's worth of work at the Department of Problem-Solving. Breaking a cardinal rule of the Crew, she created a duplicate of herself to do the work for her while she snuck off to watch the movie. The duplicate, however, being too accurate a copy, had the same idea, in a chain of recursion which only ended after the creation of 1079 Juliet duplicates in total.
Unable to keep this secret, Juliet was punished by the Department of Discipline in the form of a titanic assignment: she was exiled from the Homeworld to an inhospitable Prime-adjacent universe and tasked with romanticising a great number of living things before she would be allowed back. Juliet got around this by blocking off some of her duplicates' memories to make each of them believe she was the original Juliet and splitting the assignment between them, giving each Juliet only a hundred targets to romanticise. Once they were done, all the Juliets returned to the Homeworld, and Juliet sent out a wave of positronic radiation to restore their memories. However, she was surprised to find that half of the duplicates had taken apart their Fog Ships to create further duplicates to split the workload further.
She mulled that she would have to ask Peter-707 of the Department of Vehicles for a big favour in order to cover up the missing Fog Ship components, while the Sisters were left to contemplate where they would live and how to name themselves — what with numbers based on absolute chronological order of creation, which they'd started out using, proving hard to keep track of.
