Finally posting this, a speculation on vorta biology!

this was drawn last year for the ‘zine o’biology’ star trek spec bio zine :)

The real mindfuck of Vorta cloning is that it’s not even like reloading a save. They only remember up to the last checkpoint. From the Vorta’s perspective, the thing that killed them is in their future, not their past.

Maybe they’re considering something, planning something, and they go to sync their brain and suddenly they’re in the cloning facility. Ok, obviously it’s time to reconsider that decision. Or maybe it was a different decision, some long chain of events they don’t have the faintest memory of? Even after they get briefed on some of the missing details, it’s hard to know for sure. Did they do something wrong? Did someone else? Was it completely unavoidable? They never have any deaths to learn from, just a growing and ominous string of births.

Anyway, I don’t think the Founders actually changed the formula between Weyoun 6 and 7. I don’t think they had to. The moment Weyoun started doubting, in the privacy of his own mind, he woke up as a clone. And like all the previous times he was born again, he immediately and reflexively flinched away from that train of thought, along with anything else he was thinking of at the time.
