Amazing. Absolutely, utterly amazing. The technology OSTA has provided me with is crude in its own right, and yet.. fantastic. In two days - yes, only two days - I have accomplished more than I could have dreamed.. and yet, I already did it before, but it took ages. Ages, and a day. And while the replica was beautiful.. Well. Look at this.
He's beautiful. More beautiful than I had ever known him to be. And what's more amazing is that the embryo is of a size and weight that would most usually be applied to one of five weeks progress. The preceding zygote phase lasted only for ten hours and thirty-seven minutes before he'd passed the limits for that stage. As of right this moment he's developed a wholly functioning liver, rudimentary limb buds, eyes.. and a beautiful, beating, physical heart. Not enough to bring him back as a Somebody, my research colleagues assure me - as I'm being instructed by and work with many on the same team that resurrected myself - but enough to keep him alive. It took.. Yes, almost a week for the replica to reach this stage. The process' speed is incredible, and while it concerns me as I've seen what - ahem - nature does to those whose cellular development process is increased past the set rate might also affect us, resurrected in this fashion.. I'm being constantly assured that it isn't so.
I pray with all I have left of my own shriveled little heart that they're right.
And the best thing about this? He's all. Mine. Hostage in a fluid cage.
