CRINE LABS 1-2-2010
Two men stood in a lab outside of an empty cryo pod.
"Are you ready?" One asked. It was obvious that he was the older of the two, with his brunette hair streaked with grey. He was wearing a lab coat and he held a clipboard.
"Yup. When do we start?" The younger man replied. He looked to be in his early 20's, with jet-black hair and dazzling blue eyes. He was wearing a pair of loose back shorts and an equally loose white shirt with the CRINE logo on the bottom of it.
"Everything is in place, we can begin at once" The doctor replied. The younger man smiled, stepping into the cylindrical pod.
"See you on the other side, Doctor Thorn"
"I will see you soon, Richard, if all goes well." Richard stepped into the pod and turned to face the doctor. Thorn pressed 'Begin Program', and the pod began to fill with water. Richard looked at the clone his consciousness was about to be transferred to. It was identical to him in almost every way. Soon, he thought, that's where I'll be. The water was almost up to his mouth. Taking one last breath, Richard closed his eyes and allowed himself to be submerged completely. It seemed like everything was going to be fine, but then things began to go wrong. A red warning light began flashing as both Richard and the clone began convulsing. "What?" the doctor cried. "Miyu, get over here now! No, no, no!"
Miyu rushed over to doctor Thorn. She was one of the many strange creatures in the lab, having the appearance of a humanoid leopard. She was wearing a lab coat with the CRINE Labs insignia on the breast. "What is happening, sir?" Miyu asked worriedly, inspecting the situation. Thorn was at the pod's monitor, rapidly trying to stop the catastrophe that was playing out. She ran to the clone, beginning the emergency transfer. As suddenly as he had started, Richard stopped convulsing. The clone, however, gasped, his eyes opening wide.
"Richard, are you alright?" Thorn asked, rushing over to check on the other. Richard nodded, his breathing steadying.
"Y-yeah, I think so." He choked out. "What… What happened?"
"You… died."
