M-IX meets M-X

It's not been part of the story, because I thought it would be too dark for the Lost memories story the fact that there were 10 meliora xeno prototypes.
They were developed by perfecting the DNA from each to make the next ones.
Which meant that it's some like a recycling process, Meliora 1 had to die in order to proei Meliora 2 and 3, and so on. It was a necessarily for the purpose of achiebi the Meliora xeno, one that could be smarter and technically more "free" , maybe even from conditioning (which was never tested in M-IX)
There were just 10 a few bioreactors available for the scientist that created Mix and his resources were very limited.
Still, he never got to awaken Meliora-10. I still wonder if she could have been awakened without the improvements of Meliora-IX in her DNA, but I think she could, just looking and being exactly as the meliora-IX model.

Just a silly thing, the dark stuff that's always dwelling in Derideal themed stories, but this time I decided to skip it, but still, at least in the comic I ended up making it's clear there were another Meliora xeno inside the bioreactors in the wall (if I recall correctly)
