I agree with Matt. It's going to be a well done job, or little point doing it.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I'd assumed bots.

Thrive to spite them
I thought it was that too.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
They may get into what's up with Italy, and whether that's a bot or whatever, but I doubt it. I suspect the decision is "Wow. That idea seemed better at the time. Let's just pretend that never happened," and they'll move on.

That seems like a very reasonable call, victor.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The excerpt has Buffy saying "set up two other Slayers to be me," so it doesn't seem they're going the Buffybot route. I would assume actual Slayers would be more capable of dealing with any trouble the decoy draws and of reporting said trouble back to HQ .

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Setting up decoy Buffys, one very public, is not a bad idea.
I despise Andrew. I hate him more when he comes up with not-bad ideas.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I bet the Immortal's really going to be surprised....

Having just rewatched all of Season 7, I find I am large again with the Andrew love.
Also, from what we know of the Immortal, he probably doesn't rightly care if it's Buffy or another slayer or a bot, so long as he's enjoying himself ...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It is squee worthy to see 'new' Buffy discussion for the first time in many years..
