"And you've got the samples?" The tall, blonde haired man crouched by the large metal table, where the teenage boy's body was strapped down. Out like a light. He smiled, touching one of Kyle's arms, feeling the strength beneath it. He was certainly a tall lad. "Yes sir" came a voice. "Set up, and we're ready to go. They're preparing the tanks right now. "Excellent." He turned, folding his arms behind his back, a tall tank, around seven feet in height, was in front of him, a body inside. The tank empty of any liquid, the body was an eerie sight.
It had been nearly impossible to get one to match Kyle's height exactly. The more detailed features would come soon, which was why Kyle was here, with wires and probes padded to his entire body, so's not to miss a scar. There were three others in the room, all but one weak in a white lab coat. One of those men, approaching the man whom was apparently their leader. "Mr. Lidstone?" It was a short man, somewhat chubby, offering Mr. Lidstone a pair of glasses. They were looked at, and discarded as Lidstone folded his arms over his chest. "Let's just begin the process, shall we? Mr Mires, if you will."
He motioned toward Kyle, who was wheeled forward, onto a platform, which locked the table into place. Lidstone looking up at the motionless body in the tank. He grinned. "Annnnnnd action!" Mires, with his pudgy fingers, moved toward a rather swank looking computer, crouching over it, he tapped noisily at the keys, speaking loudly toward Lidstone. "You realise that we've only ever tried this on animals? And never this kind of combination? Especially on a human, things could go terribly wr-" Lidstone turned his head snapping. "Just hit the switch! We're making history here, Mires! Don't be slow about it!" There came a mumbled apology, before the tank in which the faceless body stood, was illuminated, pipes over head, that lined the entire ceiling of the vast testing area, started to rumble and hiss, rattling gently at first, before growing more violent. The tank rumbling a little beneath the pressure, before a green liquid shot from spouts within the tank, flooding the container, splashing against the sides as the level grew higher, Lidstone and Mires watching the tank and computer screen.
Time seemed stretched out, endless as the tank flooded with the green liquid, before finally. "Begin." Lidstone's voice came sharp, as he stared at the tank, reluctantly, Mires pushed his glasses up his nose with a pudgy finger, and attacked the keyboard once more.
Kyle's body jolted, rather violently, before the table he lay on, was tipped up, aligned with the tank. A thick, glass tube slid down over his body, engulfing him, before it too started to flood with the green liquid. Kyle was oblivious, out like a light as it crawled up his skin. Soon enough, just like the faceless man, he was shrouded by the liquid. Lidstone looked back, and barked another order. "The final process, if you will." He actually advanced toward the tank in which the faceless body lay, and drum rolled upon the glass, which rattled gently, before the process began, which took his breath away.
The faceless body's jaw pushed forward, just lightly, before faint stubble grew, marking out his jawline, the nose sharpening some, where the eyes should be, lids began to form, fine hairs sprouting all over his body, thicker in some places, than in others, his hair falling about his face in the haphazard way it did with Kyle and yet, suspended in the liquid, it didn't seem half as impressive. His shoulders seemed to broaden, his lips took on that naturally dark appeal, It didn't take long, all of ten minutes, and side by side, were two identical beings, in every way possible. Never tried before. Lidstone gasped, stepping away from his creation, he pushed his hands through his hair, the man of his mid thirties, was speechless, as Mire gawked behind him, hands working blindly upon the keyboard, Kyle's tank whirred softly, before the liquid started to drain.leaving his body drenched. Lidstone spoke, not looking away from the clone in the tank.He smiled. "Kyle.My boy.My greatest creation.-Mires! Get the original dressed. Take him back where you found him. I want some time alone, with my creation."
It was like they were sick, sensual lovers, one touching the other through the thick pane of glass, Lidstone stared up at the master piece before him, only to listen to the clank as the original's glass tube was lifted away. "Do it fast.There won't be much time. He won't remember a thing. I can guarantee it."
Procedures were hurried and soon, Kyle was removed from the lab all together, carted off to be dressed no doubt. Lidstone was stood, with his hands against the glass. "You're beautiful.Absolutely beautiful, my boy.You're my greatest achievement to date.Do you realise that? My greatest achievement to da-"
He looked up.Properly, squinting a little in the poor light.Before gasping.
The clone, was staring right back at him, a wicked glint in his eyes.
