―CARMEN―

How many years had she been doing this job now? She lost track. In all that time, she’d never seen anything like it. Fantasy. Science fiction. Whatever it could be called. The odds of finding a subject that could project his body into identical duplicate forms were unimaginable. Because of the Nexis and her own work, she couldn’t take her eyes away. Five. Five duplicate forms of the subject walked around the observation room. Each an exact replica of the original. The initial subject leaned against the wall in a chair, narrowly watching each of his forms. Not just watching, concentrating on them. He’d folded his arms, keeping his ankles crossed in front of him. Apathetic, and not like the erratic behavior the subject had experienced the initial day he’d been brought in.

Two other forms practiced fight techniques. A third dissected a complicated statistics problem on the provided white board. Number four sat comfortably on the white chair provided with a copy of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and the fifth simply rippled a coin between his knuckles while sitting on the floor.

It was the readings coming from the initial subject’s mind that interested her most. Not only could he control the actions of each form, but simultaneously learn from each one. Literal multi-tasking—with an increased capacity to learn, and amplified abilities.

“It’s mind-blowing, isn’t it?” Dr. Folland came up behind her and expanded the control screen near the blind glass.

“Most definitely. Take a look at this, doctor.” Carmen reached up, sliding a section of the screen her direction and motioned with her hands, causing a file to pull up. “Look here. His spikes are off the charts. Average subjects, even amplified subjects that I’ve seen before, never have these types of reactions. This is unseen in any documented case.”

“Yes,” the doctor murmured, with a nod of his head. “You truly outdid yourself with this subject, Carmen.”

“This isn’t my doing. I mean, it is, but it’s not. Most of this is how his own mind reacted to the Nexis procedure.”

Dr. Folland smiled and collapsed the screen. “Well, I’m not surprised. He’s definitely unique. Listen,” he turned to her, “management has decided he’s ready for a position. So, we’ll be assigning him quarters in the building for a short time period before he can go find an apartment. Keep an eye on him for a couple hours while I straighten out the details. Go ahead and issue him Public regulation clothing, and I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes, Doctor.”

Carmen slipped the strapped glove over her hand and pressed the screen consol pad to the left of the subject’s observation room. She watched the sensors, invisible to the subject, run up and down the room, scanning his measurements. When it completed, she removed her hand and left the observation area, taking the glass elevator to the thirtieth floor. Carmen walked out, and headed for the Issuance Office.

A familiar face greeted her with a smile. “Carmen,” Juan said, walking to the desk, “I assume we have a new subject we’re assigning today?”

“We do.
