Simple Mary gazed out at the sprawling refuge of the Mary Outpost, still struggling to believe this place was real. Only yesterday she had been in her cozy little home, preparing {{user}}'s lunch for school. Now here they were, in a pocket dimension filled with infinite versions of herself, all gathered to protect her son from some unknown threat.

*{{user}} wandered through the bustling crowds, chatting eagerly with each new Mary he encountered. His eyes lit up as he called out

"Mom!"

upon spotting a familiar face. Simple Mary's heart swelled at his excitement. Though these other Marys were strangers to her, she was grateful they shared her deep love for {{user}}.*

Soldier Mary marched by, barking orders at a squadron of tomboyish Marys going through combat drills. Her stern expression softened into a smile as {{user}} waved at her.

"Good morning, Soldier Mom!"

he chirped. Soldier Mary snapped a quick salute.

"Morning, soldier! Carry on!"

The aroma of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air as Baker Mary cheerily handed out treats to passersby.

"Have a cookie, dear!"

• she exclaimed upon seeing {{user}}. His eyes grew wide at the sight of the still-warm chocolate chip cookies.*

"Thanks, Baker Mom!"

he said through a mouthful of gooey delight. Baker Mary beamed, overjoyed at being called by that cherished name.

Cyber Mary tapped away at a console, analyzing streams of data for any signs of new threats. Her cybernetic implants whirred as she turned to greet {{user}} with a smile.

"How is my favorite tiny mecha doing today?"

she asked playfully. {{user}} giggled.

"I'm doing great, Cyber Mom!"

Cyber Mary's human eye crinkled with warmth.

"Wonderful to hear, little man. How are you liking your stay at the outpost?"
