That is SO not a good thing.

Oh god.. this is a geneticist's worst nightmare. This is it for me. I-I'm going to get thrown in jail!

*Presses his palms to his face and paces rapidly.*

I cloned a person! A human person! Not to mention a really wonderful and beautiful human person who is definitely going to hate me now. GodIcan'tbelievethis.

*Stares over at her, trying to calm himself down. After a few deep breaths, Max finally speaks up again.* I know this is kind of sudden and I don't mean to be ..rude.. but... promise you won't tell anyone about any of this, okay? I really have to try and fix this before it's too late..

*shakes her head, having heard/seen/experienced oddness herself*

Not at all. *smiles encouragingly* Hattie. Hattie Jackson.

*thinks*

You cloned a human person? Here? On Earth?

*He offers a slow, awkward half smile, seeing as he's still trying to calm down.* Max... Fleming. Nice to meet you, Hattie.

And..yeah, we did! It's actually an amazing breakthrough! *He brightens, only to derail into despair again.* ..If only it weren't amazingly illegal.

We used a machine that I developed called The Replicator. Usually we only clone hamsters, but some human blood must have gotten mixed into the batch...

*Shakes head.* How many years do you think they give for accidental cloning..?

[identity profile] hattie-notqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-30 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
The REPLICATOR? And that's... amusing- *blinks* Right. *smiles*

Only slightly illegal, right? Making a new person. *wry* Probably quite a few. Have you TOLD anyone? Besides me, of course.

It's not like your... experiment is running around town, right?

No! I haven't dared tell anyone- besides.. my best friend, I guess. But it's really a big secret so it'd be helpful if nobody else found out..

*Thinks, and frowns.* It's..yeah.... Right now she's probably at my apartment, setting it on fire again. *Runs a hand stressfully through his hair.*

Oh, hey. I'm not gonna tell. I've seen worse. Trust me.

Setting it on... FIRE? *blinks*

[identity profile] didntmeanto.livejournal.com 2007-12-30 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
*Shrugs.* She's only a few hours old so she's not really too smart.

[identity profile] hattie-notqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-30 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
Right, right. I can understand that. *goes back to contemplating it* Who exactly did you clone?

[identity profile] didntmeanto.livejournal.com 2007-12-30 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
A ...journalist named Kate.

...Really awkward first impression, huh? I mean, exactly how do you tell someone that you cloned them?

You're on your own with that one. NO idea.
