In the Laboratory, several of the Scientist Loris were working on their own thing. 3 Scientist Loris were working on a radio transmission device. And it looked almost complete, but there was something missing, a crystal.

"So, that's it. All we need is 2 Crystallized Zanthonites." Scientist Lori #39 said. "One for the interdimensional cloner and the other for the interdimensional radio transmission device."

"We'll just have to see if some of the Soldier Loris will find them on..." Scientist Lori #2 said as she used a holographic map. "...Inxeriac Cloud 11, a planet with no life."

"It's not that easy, I just read there's a creature deep within one of those caves. So we'll need more than just some Soldier Loris, like an entire group of 64 Soldier Loris and some of our high tech weaponry." Scientist Lori #9 said.

Suddenly, a notification appeared on a holo screen. Scientist Lori #110 opened it, and it said, "Domed District Clones activated. 2 Domed district Lori Clones are generating."

"Well, two of us better check up on the other Lori Clones. #200 said she'd get two other Loris to look after the Domed District clones." Scientist Lori #912 said, walking out as a few other Scientist Loris follow her.

"Well, we might as well go with her too," Scientist Lori #913 said. "We might as well tell the Soldier Loris that they need to go to Inxeriac Cloud 11 soon."

At the Domed District, Lori #2 saw all the other Domed District Loris get accustomed to their surroundings, ranging from exercise area, dining cafe to bedrooms and leisure rooms. Lori #2 became relieved, maybe she could keep them in line each and every day.

She walked up to the first Domed District Lori Clone in a curious manner.

"There's really thousands of us in the Citadel?" Domed District Lori said, curious. "Why?"

"We'll figure it out sooner or later." Lori #2 said.

"Well, maybe it's for the best. With the virus' effect on the world, I think we'd be safer in space rather than a laboratory back home." Domed District Lori said. "Although, it will be weird being surrounded by all these...me's."

"Well, get used to it, because there will be another cloning process for more clones tomorrow morning." Lori #2 said as they walked towards Domed District Lori's base. Suddenly, Lori #2 asks, "How'd you know about the Coronavirus? I thought these clones would have no memory of the virus."

"Just because I'm a copy of Lori doesn't mean I don't remember certain aspects of Lori's life. And plus, how do you plan on handling on clone population when it literally gets crowded?"

"We'll figure it out, I've actually considered using different uncharted planets as alternate bases."

Suddenly another Domed District Lori walked by, testing out her contactor, trying to reach someone named "Bobby", with no avail. She whined, "Seriously? I can't even contact Bobby?!"

"Well, don't get your hopes down, you may see Robert Santiago real soon." Lori #2 said.

"How?!" The clone replied incredulously and frustratedly. "We're out in the middle of space with no way to contact Earth, surrounded by clones."

Another Domed District Lori asks, "And speaking of which, why didn't you let that younger version of us meet all of us?"

All the other Domed District Lori clones then started to think about that as they asked Lori #2 about the younger clones of themselves.

"She was adorable!"
"We could've hit it off easily!"
"I wouldn't have hurt her!"

Lori #2 gulped, she can't let the Younger Lori clones meet the clones with the memories of the Original Lori because she'd thought they be ashamed of them and theirselves.

"Well...….." Lori #2 said, nervously. "It's because they're not ready to meet you yet!"

"What do you mean, "Not ready"?" A Domed District Lori said, annoyed.

"They just got out of their cloning tubes, so...give them time!" Lori #2 lied, nervously.

"Well, that does seem fair enough..." A Domed District Lori replied, suspicious. "But I would appreciate it if we learned more about these child versions of us."

"Who knows, maybe the domed district may have Child Clones of Lori tomorrow morning." Lori #2 said, backing away as some of the other clones headed of to their home base. Then, she mumbled under her breath, "Maybe they might behave like you, but more innocently. They can set an example for you."

"Won't they have the same memories as us?" Domed District Lori #29 asks, curiously.

"I think so, so...maybe you can talk to each other about the things you have in common. In addition with more Domed District Loris." Lori #2 said. "There's 3 and you're in one of them."

She then darted with the Scientist Lori she was just with on out of here, looking relieved to be away from them.

"Why would Rick let any Lori download memories into clones?" Lori #2 said, annoyed. "They're whiny and they just nag all the damn time!"

"Clearly, it's to see what would happen if Lori clones with no memory interacted with Lori clones with memory of what Lori's life was." Scientist Lori said, putting her hands into her pockets. "But it's not just going to be just Domed District Loris that you interact with. It's also Domed District clones from other Citadels as well."

"Great," Lori #2 said, sarcastically. "More Loris like these."

"Technically, yes and no." Scientist Lori replied, chuckling. "Lenis, Lunas, Luans, etcetera. Loud Siblings and their friends."

"What about their parents? They should keep them in line, right?"

"Unfortunately, Ricks did not want to take DNA from Rita or Lynn Sr. either. They thought our parents were as pathetic as Jerry."

"That just hurts for the Ritas and Lynn Sr's of the multiverse." Then, she got back on topic as she asks, "Will there be a chance where I learn more about Lori's past once you get the Crystals?"

"The Soldier Loris are getting the Crystals. But maybe you're taking this too far..."

"I just want to make sure there isn't too much bad stuff about Lori that the kids shouldn't learn about."

"What do you mean?" Scientist Lori replied, raising an eyebrow.

Lori #2 sighed, "I saw footage of Lori's life back on Earth. She seems really bossy and mean."

"Judging by what I saw in the Domed District, to be reasonable, they've just got here and they're disoriented." Scientist Loris said, skeptically as she raises an eyebrow again.

"You didn't hear everything." Lori #2 said, sternly.

"Just give them a chance." Scientist Lori said, annoyed. "2 other Loris are giving other Domed District Lori clones a chance. Especially the younger Loris with memories of their past. I mean, the worst part is that they may be able turn other Loris into human pretzels, right? Which is scientifically impossible."

At the Soldier Lori training base, the Soldier Loris were just finishing up a obstacle course, and they were exhausted, but it was worth it. Suddenly Scientist Lori #912 and a few other Scientist Loris entered the room.

"What are you doing here?" Soldier Loris #92 and #19 ask, surprised.

"Well, we got your first mission, ladies. We need you to go to Inxeriac Cloud 11 to obtain 2 Crystallized Zanthonites as soon as possible." Scientist Lori #912 said, adjusting her glasses.

"Well, we'll need a way to get there today." Soldier Lori #1 said.

"What? No, that won't be needed. We can always get this finished tomorrow morning."

"Why not? You wouldn't have to worry about it later in the week."

"But that's the thing, maybe you should take more time to prep. Because we don't know what the hell's out there."

"Exactly, if it's life threatening, we shouldn't take any risks to wait."

"Look, you need more prep time. Otherwise, you may be surprised by what you see, maybe a massacre of Lori clones."

"Fine, let's take it up with the Council of Loris then."

At the Taber Section, Lori #12 carried Child Lori as they both entered a room, only to see a classroom that's empty.

"This is where you and the other Child Lori clones will be educated." Lori #12 said.

"Neat!" Child Lori said. "When do we start learning?"

"In 3 days." Lori #12 said as she set her younger double. "I hope you learn a lot here."

"It should be fun, right? To learn about the original Lori?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Are we gonna learn what the Original Lori did and what she did with her life?"

"Well, yes. I hope you enjoy it. The question is, will another Lori teach it? Guess we'll have to find out in a couple of days."

"I heard they might use a hologram."

Suddenly, they heard a noise, and they look on their right and see a fort of books for some reason, when Child Lori went in, she saw another Child Lori, hiding behind there, feeling nervous.

"Why are you here?" Child Lori asks.

"They all look like me," The other Child Lori said, concerned. "I have to behave exactly like them, and I'm not so sure if that's me."

"Who really cares?"

"I do. If I don't behave exactly like them, I'll stick out like a sore thumb! I can't go there with them!"

"Sure you can. I mean who cares if you're not mentally the same as the other Child Loris? I'm sure they'll like you,"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. They'll like you for who you are."

"You mean it?"

"Literally!"

"Well, it's worth a shot."

"Great! Why don't you come with me and Lori? I can introduce you to the other girls!"

Lori #12 giggled, this was really sweet. This was very adorable. Young Clones getting along with each other. This is very sweet to the human heart. She's willing to bet that the real Lori would be honored about this whole cloning thing.

Then suddenly, Lori #12's contactor vibrated. She answered, "Yes?"

"Can we talk?" Lori #2 answered on the other end.

At the Council Room, 10 of the Lori Councilors were waiting for something, when suddenly, Scientist Lori #912 and Soldier Lori #1 arrived.

"Approach," All 10 Lori Councilors stated.

"We have found Crystallized Zanthonites on the Planet Inxeriac Cloud 11." Scientist Lori #912 said.

"We should know when we can obtain the Crystals." Soldier Lori stated.

"Have you started your training at the obstacle course?" Lori Councilor #5 asks.

"Yes."

"Then you must wait for a couple of days." Lori Councilor #2 said.

"Seriously?" Soldier Lori scoffed, crossing her arms.

"Sorry, but you're not ready. You need to keep training before the mission."

"Think we're ready. Just give us more technological weapons."

"We're already working on the battlesuits." Scientist Lori #912 said, annoyed. "It will take days, maybe weeks."

"Well, if you're going to be concerned, at least see what the threat level is for Inxeriac Cloud 11. What's so important about these Crystals?"

"They're essential to creating more clones with the memories of other Loris of other dimensions, and communicating with other Citadels."

"More Loris?"

"No, Citadels of other family members."

"Even the parents?"

"Unfortunately, Ricks did not want to take DNA from Rita or Lynn Sr. either. They thought our parents were as pathetic as Jerry." Lori Councilor #10 replied.

"Pathetic?" Scientist Lori #912 asks. "How pathetic can they be?"

"All the information is all in the Learning Program for the Younger clones." The Lori Councilors said. "Now, go back to doing whatever you're doing."

"What about the crystals?"

"It can wait!"

"Damn." Soldier Lori said, annoyed.

"Be grateful." Scientist Lori #912 said, annoyed. "We can't have a Cloning machine where we transfer memories to other clones...at least...not yet, so for the time being, just be glad you've got extra days to get ready."

Soldier Lori scoffed.

At a cafe, where several thousand Lori clones are there, having lunch, Lori #12, and the 2 Child Lori Clones were sitting there. Lori #2 arrived with Scientist Lori #1, with the former looking exhausted.

"We've got business to discuss." Lori #2 said, concerned, then they noticed the child clones, and the 2nd clone started to look nervous. "Oh, hi!"

"Hi!" The 2 Child Lori Clones said, waving.

"Seems as if you've found a parental unit figure." Scientist Lori #1 said.

This isn't gonna be easy for Lori to be honest with Lori #12 about the Real Lori's behavior.
