Part Four (mostly)

Apologies once again for being so tardy to the party (just in case you're reading, C... XD ) with this. Being busy with school, more school, getting ready to move, and more school means I've had next to no time for writing. And I'm considering making a change from pure dialogue to more third-person. So the next time I post, it might be in a completely different way than last time. Enjoy (what little I have to offer)!

(Yashev) *returns back to the holding room DJ is in, accompanied by two guards* Hello again, my young friend. It seems that the machine is in perfect order, so it’s time for you to come join us in the laboratory.
(DJ) Cool. Does this mean I’m going to go down in history as the first person ever to be duplicated, or whatever this thing does?
(Yashev) We don’t even know if it works on humans yet…there’s a good chance you could be killed during a failure of some sort. And even if it does work, there can be some pretty nasty side effects…but I won’t get into those right now. No need to get all worked up about minor details, right?
(DJ) Whatever you say, doc.
(Yashev) Good, then we’re all done here. Guards, take him to chamber A.
(Guards) *in unison* Yes sir! *guards unchain DJ from the wall and carry him into the lab area*
(DJ) Wow, I even get personal escorts! Talk about living the high life.
(Yashev) Ugh, I can’t stand your incessant babbling any more. Can someone please sedate him? Besides, we don’t want a struggle.
(Scientist) Of course. *carries syringe with a heavy sedative in it and injects DJ with it*
(DJ) Ooh, picky. *the drug works quickly, and in a matter of seconds, DJ is unconscious again*
(Yashev) Thank you. Now, shall we continue? Just put him into the duplicator pod, please.
*guards carry the now limp DJ and place him in the duplicator pod*
(Scientist) *walks back over to computer station* All ready, sir?
(Yashev) Yes, let’s get this moving before sleeping beauty over there pulls something. Start it up.
(Scientist) Aye, sir. *initates the duplicator, and flashes of light can be seen coming from the pod* Now, we’re supposed to leave it alone until the lights stop, and then we initiate the safety release of the other pods.
(Yashev) And about how long do you think this will take?
(Scientist) Typically around ten to twenty minutes, sir.
(Yashev) *rolls eyes* Great. *walks over to waiting area and sits down*

[12:52]

(Yashev) *very impatiently* You said it should have been done by now! What’s going on here?!
(Scientist) I…I’m sorry sir! We’ve h..hit some unexpected delays with the procedure! It shouldn’t be more than a few more minutes.
(Yashev) It’d better not! Or else I’ll be needing a replacement for your position…and somewhere to dump a body. *suddenly, the lights on the machine go out and the computer monitor flashes a ‘complete’ message* Ah, it looks like you’ll be staying with us after all. Release pods B and C into the safety chamber.
(Scientist) Y..yes sir! *hurries over to the computer and opens the chambers*
