How Daiko and the science team had been trying to 'duplicate' the success he was, but every time they were just as short-lived as other Saibamen. They could maybe get a week or two more out of them, but inevitably they would all fall apart within a month or two at the most. If she was created using the same sort of process, then her lifespan may be far shorter than she's expecting. “How long ago were you created?”
“...What?” she asks you, her tone more confused than offended. “Why does that matter?”
“Because our people here have been experimenting with cloning for over a decade, trying to recreate one of their experiments. B7, Ubo. But every time they try, the copies' lifespans are dramatically shorter, sometimes as short as a week.” you say, seeing the woman's eyes widen in shock. Having clearly never even considered such a thing, she looks down at her right hand.
“And if my lifespan was already accelerated several years, to be superior to Kara...” she mutters, you seeing the worry on her face. Which is when you get an idea, telepathically reaching out.
“Hey, Daiko. Are you guys busy?” you ask, <span class="mu-i">thinking</span> at New Salda's head scientist. “I have something that may be urgent.”
“Urgent? No, right now we have no pressing concerns from the higher-ups with urgent turnaround times. What is going on?” he asks, you relaying the situation to him. Through which you sense his rising curiosity and excitement, even more when you explain how she and Kara were linked telepathically on some level. “Worried about cellular deterioration? We can get her in and do a full physical. Even though her twin isn't here, with Ubo to scan alongside her we should be able to make sure her body isn't going to fail anytime soon.”
“Appreciate it Daiko, I'll bring them by shortly.” you answer, then before ending the link add. “And make sure the aerial defenses aren't active, as she's strong enough to hang with my Berserker God power and might melt the tower with her Heat Vision.”
“Understood, don't worry we won't shoot at you again. That was a one-time thing, just to make sure they worked.” he replies, you ending the link and addressing the two.
“Good news, we can get you checked out. Make sure this isn't a worry, and that you'll live a long, full life.” you tell her, both Galatea and Ubo looking to you as you lift up off the ground. “Come on, Daiko's expecting us.”
