Carli was typing rapidly on the computer, while Lexa was making shapes with lasers using her powers. Lexa sighed and finally got finished with he leopard. Suddenly, Carli stood up and raised her hands above her head. "Finally!"
Lexa made the leopard disappear and looked up. "What?"
Carli sat back down. "I finally got the firewall off, I got the file."
"What is it?" Lexa asked as she moved on the other side of the desk.
"It's a file on the M.A.P. project about each of our hosts, their names and their info."
"So, how does that help?" Lexa asked.
"That means we can find them. Even though their DNA has been modified, they could act impulsively like their hosts. In their personalities."
"Why the hell would he block that with so many bytes to melt the hardrive?" Lexa asked.
"How would I know? . . . No one understood him," Carli replied. "Let me upload this to the Helix and we can leave."
"Great," Lexa said.
Carli looked at the door. "Someone's coming. Hurry up, go invisible." Lexa sighed and disappeared just as the door opened, an old man pushed a cart into the room. A shaking, wizened hand grabbed the trash can.
"Hi, Mr. Luis. How are you today?"
After a second, he turned around. "Oh, Ms. Connors. Didn't see you there, you know, it is after hours."
"Yes, sir. I'm just checking my email," Carli lied. Mr. Luis nodded and backed the cart away.
Lexa became visible. "Dang, I thought this was a high-rank establishment. Why didn't they fire him?"
"I don't know, he's been here since GenoMex started out and everyone loves him."
Jesse's voice echoed in Lexa's mind. 'Lexa, we got it, let's go.'
Carli heard his voice. "Let's go." She grabbed the uploading device and threw it to Lexa.
"Do you think that Dominion will give us some info about Andy and Cameron?" Carli asked.
"Is that the names of the others?" Lexa asked.
Carli nodded.
"Don't know, depends on what they think."
Carli nodded and walked outside and looked down the hall for Mr. Luis or Patrick and then walked outside.

Shalimar, Brennan, and Jesse were hovered over the main computer in the Helix. "Their names are Andy Harrison and Cameron Wills . . . they were the exact age of Carli---the real Carli," Jesse recovered. "Exact birthday, but Andy and Cameron weren't cloned until three months after Carli was."
"Yeah, their about 24 now," Carli explained.
"Whoah . . . these are the exact plans to perfect their DNA."
"Do you think it would work on us?" Shalimar asked.
Carli shook head. "No, our DNA has some missing links in it. Yours are just constructed differently, but it's a start."
Lexa stood up. "Wait, wait, wait. We're not going to save them are we?" she asked.
Carli's eyebrows furrowed. "Why not?"
"Because, they're dangerous," Lexa stated.
Shalimar winced and shook her head. 'Not a good thing to say' she thought.
Carli stood up, obviously threatened. "I would think that mutants would understand and not make the mistake of not trusting things they don't understand."
"I didn't mean it that way," Lexa started. "They don't know about their hosts, like you do."
Carli sat down. "Listen, I grew up with those two. Their like family, and I won't give up on them. Whether if they can remember or not."
Jesse faced the control panel. "Okay . . . let's get back to Sanctuary."
Lexa sat down and gave Carli a threatening look and then looked out the window.
