Maybe there's a R2-G0 somewhere in one of the Star Wars universes, or a cute half-Japanese/half-American tomboy with glasses who goes by the name Eimi somewhere in the multiverse, and the only reason we think Fenspace's R2-G0 and Eimi are original is because nobody's written about their templates.
(And there's a Drunkard's Stagger idea - AI Eimi meets her original somewhere along the Walk, leading to existential angst for either or both... for a few days, then they recover their normal spirits.)
