I have updated this chapter as well now. I have made a few changes so that it fits with the story better. They are very small but they will keep people from being misled.
"Hello, and welcome to YogLabs, friends. Simon should just be in his office over here. Hey Simon!"
"Oh, hello, Lewis! I was just, umm… doing some paperwork. I was emnot/em napping or eating any Jaffas that you had kept in the kitchen. Wait, what?"
"No, of course not. But now we have people here to do paperwork for you."
"What! That is really amazing. You see, we should do stuff like that more often so I don't have to do work as hard. I suspect that they are honest employed workers earning a nice big fat salary."
"Um yeah… That's exactly what happened, we did emnot/em brainwash anybody."
"Wait, what? Did you say brainwashed? Wow, just as I was saying, good job."
"Well, look on the bright side at least. If they get attacked by you they will do their own paperwork."
"I guess so but still, if anybody ever asks they ate the Jaffas that you kept hidden."
"Of course. But also, of course, we have been working really hard on automating and updating all of the equipment around here."
"Oh my, God. Does this mean?"
At that Simon began running down the hall as fast as he could on his little dwarfen legs toward the break room and pressed the coffee machine button.
"Oh, my God. We have got a working coffee machine. Now we are officially cooler than Starbucks."
Simon and Lewis then proceeded to tour the newest expansions of YogLabs.
"We have removed all of the bugs in the robot army and now we have one of the strongest forces in the world ready to defend us and borrow government supplies." Lewis bragged to Simon. "We also have perfected the Stargate in the basement allowing us to funnel supplies to us through a special piping system. Turrets have been installed that add to our bases security and we now have perfect cloning abilities. At least pretty much always. The bots that are normally always stalled in the hallway are also doing their job now."
Simon suddenly stops and looks at Lewis saying. "How on earth can we power turrets all over the facility, a massive Robot army and the entire cloning network for Minecraftia?"
"Well, Simon, it is due to research on an ancient Nether artifact that we have managed to acquire. And let me tell you, it makes Bort seem like he spent too much time stealing all of your Jaffas." Lewis felt no need to tell him how the very presence seemed to place strain on the existence of the surrounding area. Almost like the Stargate does he thought to himself.
"Well, Lewis, that doesn't sound dangerous at all. But, um… out of curiosity is it kept somewhere safe where it can't be fiddled with?"
"Oh yes, of course, nobody except for the scientists that I bring with me are allowed in."
"Does anybody outside of this place know that we have it?"
"Well actually, Duncan was the first scientist allowed to see it before he was fired. He actually is responsible for a large amount of our progress in dimensional warps, gravity shifts, energy augmentation and other things like that."
Simon suddenly loses his cheery smile and draws his sword yelling like a maniac. "Die you crazy thingy."
Before he could even finish walking up to Lewis, a Robot hovers down a chute and blasts the clone to pieces.
"Damn those random bouts of murderous intent." Lewis mutters something else quietly to himself and walks away.
Sips and Sjin were both hooting excitedly as Sjin activated the quarry that began to remove the rich dirt from the surrounding area and pump it into the facility.
"Oh, Sips, I am so glad we emfinally/em got a shipment of staff to help operate our facility and to sort out the dirt correctly. emAnd/em we also have been able to branch out our operations and services I mean this… this is amazing."
"Yeah bud, I know, it's almost like we were destined to find that orphanage for blind kids with ADHD. Those mothertruckers had a lot of money."
Both of these two crooks began to weep with joy at the prospect of all of the money that they had righteously earned through their difficult endeavors.
"Hey, Sjin, did we have to get a melodramatic narrator? I mean, why not a regular one?"
"Duncan only had one left after the explosion at his castle, I think." The mahogany-lover said glumly.
"Good job though getting Kim to end up there and secretly sabotaging everything yourself. She is such a big noob that she could have conceivably already done that alone!"
"If it weren't for that we could not have stolen Dunc's research giving us access to all of these new dirts and that little secret that Simon and Lewis have surprisingly been able to contain. We're going to be rich!"
"What do you think Ridge would do if he found out?" Sips asked.
"Ha! He would probably first try to ban people and then run to his daddy for help."
"Yeah, that big babby." Sips agreed.
Both of these maniacal monsters began to cackle until Sips shouted "Enough of that mothertrucking narrator!"
Kim was really amazed at how much her mentor was giving up in order to get his- no, their- revenge. He had built machines that would shrink something down to a miniscule size while remaining functional. He had also infused enough material into himself to take up twenty six large chests, and some of those objects were ender eyes or Thaumcraft ingots. Duncan was now only slightly shorter than an Enderman and he had filled himself with new technology and biogenetic enhancements that scared the shit out of her. It was impressive, to say the least.
But sadly, he had also had some changes done to her as well. He gave her a robotic arm and had cybernetically enhanced all of her back muscles. She was now taller than emSips/em even though she was very much naturally short beforehand.
Duncan also drained the flux out of him and gave it to her saying that it was non-compatible with a Special object he was going to acquire from Simon. "Don't worry, Kim," He said in a now deep voice that sent shivers down her enhanced spine. "We shall find others to join us who crave revenge."
"Milord, what about Ridgedog?"
"If he intervenes then I shall be forced to crush him!" The scientist spat.
"How on earth could you do that? He's a demigod!"
Duncan paused and looked at her and then slowly, said in a terrifyingly quiet whisper: "Nothing lasts forever."
