Rather than "Unable to start cloning cycle":
User offline:
"Can't clone. Unable to detect ethereal consciousness."
User in another body:
"Can't clone. Consciousness already in use."
User in a critter (and, if it does disable cloning, ghost drones):
"Can't clone. Consciousness has moved on." (Perhaps offer to delete record?)
Cloning pod busy:
"Cloning pod is currently in use."
There are probably other messages, but something more useful than the current base message would help in identifying why someone isn't clonable, and what (if anything) can be done.
