>>6134371Taking to the sky, Ubo and Galatea follow behind, you leading them towards the tower that was once a Covenant ship transformed into a respectable fortress nearer the Jiralhanae City than King Vegeta's. Flying over the forest, you expand your ki sense, searching for his ki and quickly finding him, flying over the mostly healed scars from the Battle of New Salda, the Glass Plain and arriving at the tower. Flying down, you drop to the ground, the door opening just as Ubo and Galatea land behind you.
“Welcome, welcome. Karn has told me all about you.” the Head scientist says, walking up directly to Galatea and looking her over. You can tell she's initially a bit weirded out, but as he walks around her, muttering to himself the way he does she relaxes. Almost as if this behavior is common to weird scientists the universe over. “Hrmmm, no visible deformations, any feelings of soupiness? Sluggish reaction times, delayed thinking, anything like that?”
“Soupiness?” she asks, Daiko shaking his head.
“If you were feeling it you would know, as no other term would fit.” he answers dismissively, taking some tool from his pocket and holding it up to her right eye. Peering into her eyes one after another, still muttering to himself he backs up. “Yes, you are unmistakably a clone.”
“What? How can you tell?” she asks, Daiko grinning and tapping the side of his nose with a wink.
“Come on inside, and we'll talk all about it. You too Ubo, your genetic line will be the base to see if her cells are dividing at a faster rate. Without the twin here, will need a genetic baseline from at least the same species.” Daiko tells him, then turns to you. “Should be finished in four, maybe five hours. Depending on how their bodies handle certain stimuli or not.”
“Appreciate it. If anything's wrong, let me know.” you say, then to Ubo and Galatea. “Good luck. I hope everything works out.”
“Thank you.” Galatea says after a moment's silence, nodding to you. “I... Appreciate your concerns.”
Without another word she turns to follow Daiko in, Ubo turning to you. He doesn't say anything, his expression equal parts concerned, confused and relieved. The two of you simply share a nod before he follows her in, the door sliding shut with a sealing hiss behind them. Leaving you all alone.
Well? What now?
