[center][h1][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2800337]John[/url][/h1][/center] After roughly an hour, the pod opened. Or rather, three pods. A familiar fellow got out of it, another was an older guy, not part of the original group. The other three were not here, so it means they are alive and well. Probably. Now the question that was pounding John's head was whether they were originals or clones. [b]"Aside from the new guy here, I feel an important question needs to be asked. Were we actually resurrected, or are we just clones of the now dead original selves?"[/b] he asked the two. Does it even matter though? Even if they are clones, they still have all the ambitions and desires of the original, as well as their knowledge, so nothing is really lost. Or is it? John remembers his death, or rather the cause of it before losing his conscience. He does remember being restored during that hour, but still... In the long run, whether John is now just a clone of John or still the original mattered little. Being a clone wasn't even the big problem. It's the fact that John did not know the answer to this question. It is HIS field. He cloned several lesser organisms. Why can't he find an answer about himself? Maybe the process is imperfect and some minor details are lost in the process? [b]"Do you have any gaps in your memory? Anything minor missing in your head that you KNEW it was there before?"[/b] John asked the other guy nervously. He needed confirmation... Of some sort. But it was rather easy to check. Quickly darting outside and simply checking the wall nearby John sees his lifeless corpse, with a gnarly wound. Heading back in, now as calm as ever. [b]"So, there's my corpse there outside. We're clones. Let's hope the cloning process has no imperfections."[/b] In no hurry, John now waited for the response of other guys. Strength in numbers and all that. [b]"Oh and I'm John, Meditech's Head Bio-engineer. Looks like I wasn't been able to properly introduce myself while dying."[/b] Being professional is important, he thought to himself as he reached for a handshake with the other two guys. Besides, while they may not know his last name, strangely enough, they WILL know Meditech. After all, it's one of the largest Pharma corporations in the world. Err, on Earth.
