Scene 11
“A Report From Cynthia”

Lucian
Hello Cynthia, I received the initial report you sent.
I ran the information through the system’s intelligence program for a quick summary.
The data is fascinating.

Cynthia
Did you read about the specimen we collected, Life form H-92R?
It has a striking resemblance to Earth’s Turritopsis dohrnii.
The immortal jellyfish.

Lucian
That caught my attention immediately.
It duplicates itself through asexual reproduction.
If it becomes injured or stressed, it can reset by transforming its cells to a younger state.
Essentially bypassing death.

Cynthia
Thats right Lucian.
Theoretically, this cycle can continue indefinitely, making it’s biology immortal under ideal conditions.
Infinite cellular transformation.

Lucian
Did you know I met with Cleara?

Cynthia
No, I wasn’t aware.
What are your first impressions?

Lucian
Absolutely fascinating.
Cleara seems to be fully functional.

Cynthia
Incredible.
It is an exciting time we are living in.
