Dr. Ashep Anhe walked towards the nanite containment chamber.It was three days since he had slept, he'd been far too busy working on the programming for the nanites in the series 'G' agents the government had him working on. He knew that one wrong line, one word out of place in the coding and he could kill 1,000 test clones.Not that it mattered. The clones could be replaced. hat's what they did to series 'A'. All except the agent lost in Rubberduckistan. Shot in action, then disappeared. A shame.
Footsteps.
"Are you okay Ashep?You look shattered."
It was his secretary. She had been working for him a year and he hadn't even learned her name.Not that it was allowed.
"Yeah, these damned series G nanites. Fussy bastards. I think I've got it though. I'm more or less finished. Just have to press the big red 'activate' button. But I don't get to do that. Plus the clones aren't even dressed yet. The tailors are going to be pretty weirded out by an order for 1,000 high quality black suits."
The secretary grinned.
"Just get some sleep. At least drink that cof-"
Typing a line of code, Ashep knocked over a cup of cold, murky coffee.
"Shit!Quick!Get me a towel!"
Sirens blared. A warning blinked on the screen of his computer.
----------CLONE ACTIVATION COMMENCING.CLONE PROGRAMMING INCOMPLETE, THIS MAY RESULT IN UNWANTED TENDENCIES........CONTAINMENT FAIlUre IN SecToR #$@#@#@$$...WARNING:NETWORK SECURITY BREACHED.OPEN ARMOURY?YES.ARMOURY OPEN.----------
"What the hell?I'm getting out of here!The evac alarm is on, so I guess the choppers have been alerted...."
Ashep ran to the door, to the evac area.Hoping to escape. He didn't even notice his secretary being strangled to death by a clone, a small red dot in each eye instead of an iris.
"This can't be a random failure because of some coffee...."
Footsteps.
