Moros of Thanatos: V
<[ EPS. 16 - CLONING V II ]>
After V was taken to a special room, Gomer's doctor took Aldrich to his private room. There was something important he wanted to convey to Aldrich personally.
Doctor Gomer turned on his holopad. He presented the final results of his research to Aldrich. The sheer number of numbers Gomer shows for making V clone is astounding. Just to make one successful clone requires billions of stem cells, even though at that time Gomer's doctor had been assisted by Professor Avicenna who is famous as the most famous biotechnologist in the world but the success rate is still as low as this.
Dr. Gomer explained that the most failure occurs in the process of fertilization of stem cells into embryos. Not infrequently also failure occurs after they successfully form a fetus. It is caused due to abnormal growth in foreign cells that fill the bone making the bone not work effectively. Bones that originally functioned as support and protection of human organs actually gave burden to each organ. As a result, not long ago the spirit was breathed death has first come to call.
Doctor Gomer felt challenged by the failures he had experienced so far, he looked for ways to make the cloned baby live longer by suppressing the growth rate of his bones and how it managed to make the cloned baby live longer. But it turns out that this method also has a negative impact on the growth and development of babies so that cloned babies that they managed to make weaker than babies born prematurely.
As the baby in the incubator gets weaker, Gomer's doctor is forced to stop the intake of a solution that can slow down the baby's bone development and something amazing happens, within a year, the cloned baby grew faster than ever before and now grows like a toddler. But unfortunately even though Gomer's doctor stopped the intake of the solution the negative impact is still there, the toddler was still so weak that he could not walk like a child his age.
Gomer's doctor showed a video of a female toddler in an isolated room from her holopad. The face of the little boy was the same as V whom he had met two years ago only that the little boy had the same hair as his eyeballs. Aldrich looked at the doctor Gomer asking through his gaze.
"I also don't understand why they don't look identical when M-28 and Miss V have the same genetic code. But certainly after the M-28 grows it has a different DNA to Miss V."
Aldrich was surprised to hear Gomer's explanation because it was completely against the laws of nature. Although in the process of making cloning the cell nucleus from stem cells will be implanted in the egg cells of people who do not have any relationship with V but should the final result of M-28 will remain identical to V.
Doctor Gomer again explained that he had made another V clone, but as much as possible he made the result remains the same as if the foreign cell could not be replicated or copied so that the result would still be different from V. And of the many clones of the experiment only M-28 is still alive.
"Then we can conclude that this foreign cell is the artificial cell of a genius. I feel like the attack the artificial cell gave me wasn't to knock out V but the other way around."
"You mean, duke?" ask Dr. Gomer not to understand.
"You're saying that DNA V and M-28 are different when they're from the same entity, right? If the cell cannot be replicated by any scientist, it means that he alone composed it. Only geniuses are able to reorder the codes that make up DNA that are very long and complicated. DNA that makes us foreign to the cells in the body V.
By the time V had an attack from the artificial cell, V had bleeding so intense he should have been unconscious but when I found him he was still in a conscious and even prime condition. There is a possibility that these cells are renewing the cells in the body V. The blood that came out of his body was dead cells mixed with dirty blood in the body V. Try to check the entire physical condition of V, I predict he will be much stronger than before.
I feel like this scientist wants to create a physically superior human being. Superior in strength, speed, and has thinking power that exceeds the above average human. I feel like this scientist was inspired by Professor Abraham's theory of the intelligence of the human brain."
Doctor Gomer was shocked to hear Aldrich's exposure. Ia felt Aldrich was exaggerating so much that he checked himself into V's physical condition through his holopad, he coughed to read the report confirming Aldrich's speculation.
When Gomer's doctor was still coughing a person in charge of maintaining the condition of V's body in the tube reported a sign of danger. Doctor Gomer quickly checks through his holopad connected to a server in a special room.
Gomer's doctor's hologram LED display window is now changing color to red by displaying the body V. It appears that V is in a giant tube containing a blue liquid with many hoses attached to his body.
Aldrich stared intently at Gomer, not because of the current emergency but because V was not wearing a piece of clothing on his body. Aldrich had clenched both hands, his fists ready to float but he still held on for fear of making things worse.
His gaze returned he switched to a control system beside the screen that displayed the V body inside the giant tube. In the control system Aldrich can see the anatomical activity of the body V such as the skeletal system, muscular system, circulatory system, digestive system, endocrine system, nervous system, respiratory system, immune system, lymphatic system, etc, the urinary and excretory systems, the reproductive system, and the integumentary or skin systems.
From the screen of the control system Aldrich can know for sure the problems they are facing, currently the muscles of respiration including the diaphragm and intercostal muscles in the V respiratory system slowly reject the anesthetic gas that previously entered with oxygen. They directly pump out along with the carbon dioxide. As a result, V's brain is now clearly recording the pain caused by the experiments that are being conducted by Gomer.
V's body seemed to tremble so intensely as to endure the pain, his face looked so pale as if there was no blood flow on his face, his hands clenched so tightly that he made a cut from the prick of his fingernails.
"Stop the process, Gomer!" meek Aldrich panicked to see a drastic decrease in the number of activities of several systems in the anatomy of the body V.
"Can't, duke! If the process is stopped now it can cause damage to Miss V's organs, the end result of death." denied Gomer's doctor who was still busy with LED holograms before him.
"How many percent of the process is running?"
"New 70%, duke."
"Damn!" erang Aldrich smashed a glass table belonging to doctor Gomer. "Is there no other way?"
"I'm trying, duke." replied doctor Gomer in a sorry tone. I really never thought it would be like this.
Aldrich won't wait for Gomer's doctor to pull the hologram LED screen owned by Gomer to create a new branch that displays the nervous system. He made his voicemail which he would send to the central nervous system as a memory that would later appear in V's mind.
While waiting for his voicemail record sent Aldrich accidentally opened a window branch that displayed what V was thinking.
"Father."
"Fuck, I want to go home. I'm not sick anymore."
"Oh, there's something strange about my body. Like something went into it and messed up my system."
"Something liquid flows through my blood circulation. I wanted to reject them to get them out of my body, but I couldn't. I'm powerless."
"Why am I so weak? What else do I have to be so strong?"
"My body slowly felt cold, just like before I met Papah."
"Isn't he?! Help me, pah. Help me." Help me."
"Will not throw me away, right? Aren't we?"
"No! I wouldn't be able to if that happened, I'd rather die than lose again."
"Although I was always afraid to see Papah, I loved my Papah very much. He gave me a long-lost feeling of security, he even realized my big dream."
"Father."
"Why when I come back to believing in hope, reality destroys me again. Is it because I have a strange illness that the world condemns me to be unhappy?"
"I will not wish for a full family anymore, I just want my Papah. I have lost both my parents, my family, and my home. At least this time let me have my Papah."
"I promise I won't trouble Papah. I'll try so hard to make my Papah proud to have me."
As V was lamenting his grief suddenly a memory burst in his mind. The connection was created by Aldrich so that the V peripheral nerve carries signals from the control center to its muscles, glands and other organs.
That night while V was sleeping with Aldrich, V woke up to his nightmare. He did not dare to go back to sleep for fear that his dream would come back. He chose to look at the ceiling of his Papah room while waiting for the morning.
"Why don't you go back to sleep?" aldrich asked breaking the silence.
"I want to sleep, but my eyes can't sleep" replied V looking at Aldrich's face as Aldrich disliked talking to him.
"You've had a bad dream?"

DNA \= The main constituent of every living organism and DNA stores the information that the cell needs to compose the protein synthesis that the cell needs to carry out its activities and develop. DNA also determines the physical properties of the organism.
Incubator \= Tools used to heat prematurely born babies.
Embryo \= A multicellular diploid eukaryote in the earliest stages of development. Understanding the easy result of fertilization of the egg at the beginning to the fetus.
Endocrine System \= Consists of several glands that secrete hormones into the blood. This system functions to maintain the homeostasis of the body. One of the processes regulated by hormones is cellular metabolism, reproduction, sexual development, sugar and mineral homeostasis, heart rate, and digestion.
