	During the testing process of creating the archive function, it was shown that a photonic being could be effectively forked into two by use of the archive process. While brass doesn't officially object to this—in fact they see it as potentially useful for being able to create more of the personality types they like—the stance of most of the Torchwood team is that this sort of creation of new photons is not good. There is one pair of twins running around with andorian default appearances that were the result of the testing process — ~~they currently~~ answer to their call signs ~~Luna~~ and ~~Celestia~~.

Both prefer to answer to their call signs, but will also answer to Shilli and Zith respectively.

			===Language Localization Packages===
			All photons are loaded with a universal translator subroutine, allowing them to understand and speak in a large number of languages, but this translation comes across as stiff at times, and tends to reflect more formalized language. In order to allow the photons to better blend in with their organic counter parts, they can also load a number of language localization packages to allow them to better reflect more informal language styles and a number of regional dialects and accents. Each photon is initially loaded with one or more localization packs that match their generated appearance. As they are easy to load and unload, most photons will change their localization packs around until they settle on the ones they like, and a small handful of photons choose not to have any installed at all.

			All the localization packs are created for Project Torchwood by Commander Eustace Houghton, who has long specialized in the universal translator, and related linguistic projects, during his career in the fleet. In addition to languages common within the Federation—and a number of non-Federation languages that are popular such as Romulan, Klingon, Orion, Cardassian—he has also created more specialized localization packs for dead languages, conlangs, and as requested non-Federation languages that are less commonly known within the Federation. The Tolkien conlang family is particularly popular among the photons, and there was a small flareup of Latin and Esperanto for a while, but both have mostly fallen out of popularity again.

Backup Process

	All Torchwood photons are given access to a backup process which allows them to be reactivated from an archived copy in the event of their program being damaged, deleted, or otherwise lost. It is an optional process, but as long as the photon chooses to make use of it, the backup process occurs at regular intervals, and in certain predesignated conditions. If a photon chooses to not participate in the backup process, the being is effectively as mortal as an organic being is, and if they opt out after having made archives, all existing archives will be deleted.

	Though most take to the piloting profession that they've been designed for, some show interest in other areas of study, and the development team has been careful to guide them into these other areas instead of allowing them to be branded a failure. Some outside the project see this as a flaw of the unique personalities generated for each, and this perspective is partially rooted in believing that the photons are a tool, not an autonomous being. Even with holograms like The Doctor and Vic Fontaine having established a precedence that AI driven holograms can be sentient beings, photon rights are still being fought for. The efforts are being modeled after the precedence set with Data as to android's sentience.
