Afton was currently looking through an observation window at some healthy, yet uncomfortable-looking people who were pacing around in the room. He was joined by every Think Tank scientist, as everything that went down today would include them, no matter how it went.
"Are these them?" Zero asks as his monitors focus on the subjects.
Afton nods, the project was a success, and Dala's managed to get the rejection rate to around ten percent. A dramatic difference compared to the fifty percent we saw before..." he gestures at a man sitting against one of the walls, "We've found that despite the disparity between male and female brains, implanting a brain in a body of the opposite sex only increases the rejection rate by twenty percent..." he explains.
"To prevent many mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia, hormones will need to be externally provided until the brain's chemistry adapts to the new body. A rapid change in homornic-profile can lead to more than just mental illnesses, so further research on the topic is necessary." Dala state from the side.
"Forgive me, but, how is this relevant to us?" Borous asks from the side.
Afton coughs into his fist and glances at Zero, the rest following his gaze.
...
"What?" the scientist quickly retorts, "I just wanted to know what it feels like to be a woman... It isn't like I can't turn back, right?" he states.
"Data on that particular area is limited, I saw no need to attempt it as the very idea seemed idiotic... My mistake." she says, sending a barbed remark at Zero.
Afton shakes his head, "Regardless, I think we need to get back to the subject at hand... Doctor 8, you've volunteered yourself to be the first to receive a body, I will not mention your stated reason, as it isn't really relevant, or tasteful... But, this has allowed us to prepare for this beforehand." Afton says as he gestures for the scientists to follow him.
He leads them through the hallway and into the next room where a clone body was floating in a tank. It was around eighteen years old, had tanned skin despite it never seeing sunlight, black hair, and brown eyes.
"8, this will be your body... You didn't specify what DNA you wanted to be used, and we couldn't find any samples of your previous body's, so, I decided to gather some elsewhere." he states, not revealing where he got the DNA for fear of offending someone.
Not the scientists of course, but someone else. After all, these guys were known to be good at keeping secrets, and he'd hate for Ulysses to find out that his DNA had been used without his permission.
Why had he done this? Well, to test how the man's DNA would react to the cloning process, and to see if his rather rediculous S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats could be replicated.
The scientists crowd around the body and begin examining it, muttered responses of "Ooooh?
