At the mid point of the Citadel, a Soldier Lori, a Scientist Lori and Loris #12 and 16, and the 2 Child Loris were on their way to visit the Citadel's council, when, suddenly, they stopped by the Northern Cloning station, where they saw something surprising.
Thousands and Thousands of Lori Clones that are around the ages from 5 to 11. At least 193,492, and with 2,419 more clones coming out of their tubes. They all wore a navy blue suit. But their looks looked slightly different. They were identical, but they looked different.
The Loris that were 5 years old and 6 years old looked like the Child Loris, only shorter and had pigtails.
The Loris that were 8 to 11 years old looked like the Child Loris themselves, but had braces on.
The two child Loris were interested to say hello to them, but the Older Loris were more concerned about this meeting with the Council of Loris as they pulled them away from the other Lori clones.
At the Council Room, 10 of the Lori Councilors were meeting up with the Soldier Lori, the Scientist Lori and Loris #12 and 16, and the 2 Child Loris about what was happening.
"Well, thanks to certain glitches, these Lori clones are filling up the citadel at an alarming rate. We've already got 392 Councilors in the back room." Lori Councilor #1 said, sternly.
"We're really sorry about the Child Loris..." Lori #12 said. "They're just kids, though, so cut them some slack."
"What about them?" Lori Councilor #9 said, raising an eyebrow.
"We may have caused the glitch..." Child Lori said, nervously as she cringed.
Then, out of the blue, the Lori Councilors laughed, confusing the two kids.
"A child of your strengths couldn't be able to break the door to the Clone control room." Councilor Lori #10 said, humored.
"Clone control what?" Both Child Loris said.
"It's where when the Cloning process stops and starts. Seems like some control wires were unplugged as someone broke into the Control Room." Councilor Lori #1 replied.
"So, we didn't cause a glitch in the system?" Child Lori #10 said, confused.
"No. Of course not. But we're trying to fix it now."
"But who did?"
"We don't know yet. We'll find out soon."
Then 2 Council Loris then looked at Soldier Lori as they spoke, "In the meantime, since there are more Soldier Loris, keep in mind by tomorrow morning, you will be sent on the mission to go after the Multidimensional Crystals."
"What?!" Scientist Lori gasped in shock.
"Thank you, we won't let you down." Soldier Lori saluted the councilor.
"Now, Scientist Lori, I know you're stunned, but the good news is that you have more of yourself to be around with to help with the Super-Suits' creation, they're all waiting for you at the Western Cloning Station, and with the way the clones are being produced, you may be able to get them done by nightfall!"
"Dang it." Scientist Lori said, annoyed.
"Shouldn't you find out who caused all this cloning mess?" Lori #12 asks.
"We're working on it! Now go!" Councilor Lori said, impatiently.
"Shouldn't you ask us to help you?"
"We'll manage."
At the Laboratory, More and More Scientist Loris were entering the room as some of them were curious about what was going on.
"Did they fix the cloning glitch?" Scientist Lori #19 asks.
"No. There's still clones coming here." Scientist Lori #2942 sighed.
"But for what it's worth, we can get a whole lot more done when it comes to the progression of this Citadel." Scientist Lori #931 said, assuringly.
Then, the contactor activates as Scientist Lori #1 said, "Girls, we have to work on those Super Suits immediately, the Soldier Loris are going to look for the interdimensional crystals tomorrow morning."
The scientist Loris gasped in shock, then they started to be concerned. Are they ready enough for this? Just for good measure, Scientist Lori #19 went over to her chemical set to make sure something was set.
"What are you doing?" Scientist Lori #200 said, confused.
"Trying to put the final touches to my latest chemical, the Multiplier." Scientist Lori #19 replied. "If a Lori were to lose a body part or to be chopped, ripped asunder or even to drop one spill of blood on the floor. She will multiply into multiple Loris."
"That seems mute, considering the fact there's thousands of clones produced every day." Scientist Lori #201 said, raising an eyebrow.
"It could benefit the Citadel for larger forces to defend us." Scientist Lori #19 said, shrugging.
"Are you sure?" Scientist Lori #200 replied. "This seems too much."
"It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Let's just work on the Super Suits." Scientist Lori said, grabbing a bunch of small metal tools and placing it on the table. "Starting with the exoskeleton."
At the cloning control room, two Loris noticed that the councilors were right! The wires were unplugged. They then plugged everything back to the way it was before someone unplugged it.
"Cloning process stopped. Preparations for Cloning Process for tomorrow commencing." The Contactor said.
This should be a safe bet. Well...not for every Lori.
At one of the Domed Districts, Domed District Lori was walking over to the Cloning room out of curiosity. What kind of clones will they be seeing today? She opens the door, and much to her shock, she sees Hundred-Thousands of Child Versions of Loris everywhere, and assuming that this is Domed District Cloning, it can be safe to assume that they have the similar memories of Lori. And they were either talking to each other or arguing with each other.
Domed District Lori was a little flattered that she sees herself as a child, but this may be a little much. Speaking of other Child Loris, one of them tugged her pantleg looking up in concern.
"Hi!" The younger clone said, shy.
"Hi..." Domed District Lori said, picking her up as she said, "What's your name?"
"I'm Lori. Why do you look like me?"
"I'm a clone of you."
"A clone? Aren't clones supposed to look exactly like the original person?"
"Well, not necessarily, there can be older clones too." Domed District Lori said, shrugging. Another Domed District Lori Clone walked by in curiousity.
"Is this another cloning process?" Domed District Lori #19 asked, curious. Then she saw the Child Loris, and she smiled, saying, "Aw, they're adorable!"
All the Child Loris looked in surprise, as they started to back away. The older clone immediately said, "Oh, it's okay, I won't hurt you."
"Are you also Lori?" One of the Child Loris said. "If you are, who's your 1st sister?"
"That's Leni." Both Domed District Lori clones said.
The Child Loris started to step close but not too close, another asked a question, "When you were asking Daddy which shirt looked better, what did he pick?"
"The kitten?" Domed District Lori #1 said, curious.
"That's right! He did pick the kitten." The Child Loris said, surprised.
"Why don't you come with us?" Domed District Lori said, curious.
"I don't know, it doesn't seem safe." The Child Lori clones, worried.
"Give it a chance."
The Domed District Child Loris looked at each other and shrugged as one by one, they walked out and followed their older friend.
