I think they did upload our minds from the original copies, but I know for certain that we're clones.
[Bruce ruthlessly lays out the evidence for it, not one to flinch from stating facts coldly.]
Months ago, before I arrived, a cloning facility was discovered. It was destroyed before they could gather any real evidence, but there's eye witness testimonies. I did my own tests-- someone with a, a thing from the future sequenced my genome for me in about, ten seconds-- and it's conclusive. I have the portion of my genetic code responsible for my mutation memorized, I've looked at it so often. It's not the same. Accountable only by rapid cell division, or induced further external mutation.
A source I have [because he respects Costigan's desire for secrecy too much to name him] confirms that they have new, replacement cloning facilities. Tanks like lightbulbs screwed into the turtle.

There's no getting around it.
