3:40 SPEAKER_01: Some of these stickers are legion links.

3:43 SPEAKER_01: QR codes to my link tree and some for my Instagram page.

3:46 SPEAKER_01: Spread these like a virus.

3:49 SPEAKER_01: I'd love to see you rep them in any state that you're from.

3:53 SPEAKER_01: This episode contains mature language and adulthood.

6:36 SPEAKER_07: Some experiments fail, others should never succeed.

6:41 SPEAKER_07: Deep beneath the world we know, behind locked doors and forgotten hallways, something woke up, and it wasn't supposed to.

6:53 SPEAKER_07: Tonight's story asks a simple question.

6:57 SPEAKER_07: If science creates a monster, who is truly to blame.

7:16 SPEAKER_00: You know that smell hospitals have.

7:19 SPEAKER_00: Like bleach and cold metal.

7:21 SPEAKER_00: Only this place didn't feel like a hospital.

7:24 SPEAKER_00: Hospitals have windows.

7:25 SPEAKER_00: This place had none.

7:26 SPEAKER_00: Just smooth gray walls, no seams, no doors I could see at first.

7:31 SPEAKER_00: Just a ceiling light, so bright it made everything feel unreal.

7:36 SPEAKER_00: For a moment, I thought I was dreaming.

7:39 SPEAKER_00: Then I tried to move.

7:41 SPEAKER_00: My wrists were strapped to a metal table, cold steel against my skin.

7:46 SPEAKER_00: That's when panic set in.

7:49 SPEAKER_00: I started pulling against the restraints.

7:51 SPEAKER_00: Hard.

7:53 SPEAKER_00: My heart pounding so loud it echoed inside my skull.

7:56 SPEAKER_00: Hello?

7:57 SPEAKER_00: I shouted.

7:58 SPEAKER_00: Is somebody there?

8:00 SPEAKER_00: Nothing.

8:01 SPEAKER_00: Just the hum of machines.

8:11 SPEAKER_00: Then suddenly, three of them.

8:13 SPEAKER_00: Slow, calm, clinical.

8:17 SPEAKER_00: I turned my head and saw them.

8:19 SPEAKER_00: White lab coats, black badges, no names.

8:22 SPEAKER_00: One of them was an older man, with gray hair, thin glasses, the kind of face that looked like it had spent a lifetime dissecting things.

8:31 SPEAKER_00: The second was a woman with sharp eyes and a tablet in her hand.

8:35 SPEAKER_00: The third, military.

8:38 SPEAKER_00: Black uniform, with a sidearm, watching me like I was an animal.

8:44 SPEAKER_00: The old man stepped closer.

8:49 SPEAKER_04: Patient 9 appears conscious.

8:52 SPEAKER_00: Patient 9, but not my name.

8:54 SPEAKER_00: Just a number.

8:56 SPEAKER_00: I stared at him.

8:57 SPEAKER_00: What did you do to me?

8:59 SPEAKER_00: The woman tapped something on her tablet.

9:01 SPEAKER_00: Cognitive awareness intact.

9:04 SPEAKER_00: Then she looked at me.

9:06 SPEAKER_00: Tell us your name.

9:08 SPEAKER_00: I hesitated.

9:09 SPEAKER_00: My name is uh it and then it hit me.

9:13 SPEAKER_00: Nothing.

9:14 SPEAKER_00: Blank.

9:15 SPEAKER_00: I didn't know.

9:16 SPEAKER_00: My mind was empty.

9:18 SPEAKER_00: I d I don't know.

9:20 SPEAKER_00: The old man nodded slowly, like that was exactly what he expected.

9:25 SPEAKER_04: Memory wipe successful.

9:28 SPEAKER_00: My stomach dropped.

9:29 SPEAKER_00: Memory wipe?

9:30 SPEAKER_00: What the hell are you talking about?

9:32 SPEAKER_00: The soldier shifted his stance, watching me, waiting.

9:37 SPEAKER_00: The doctor leaned closer.

9:39 SPEAKER_00: His voice quiet, almost proud.

9:43 SPEAKER_04: You are the ninth subject in Project Replication.

9:47 SPEAKER_00: The words meant nothing to me, but the way he said them made my skin crawl.

9:52 SPEAKER_00: What does that mean?

9:54 SPEAKER_00: The woman answered.

9:55 SPEAKER_00: It means you are not the first.

9:58 SPEAKER_00: She turned the tablet toward the doctor.

10:00 SPEAKER_00: He sighed, like a teacher explaining something obvious.

10:05 SPEAKER_04: We've been attempting to create a stable human clone.

10:09 SPEAKER_00: My blood ran cold.

10:10 SPEAKER_00: A clone! You're insane.

10:13 SPEAKER_00: The soldier chuckled under his breath.

10:15 SPEAKER_00: But the doctor didn't react.

10:17 SPEAKER_00: He just stared at me.

10:19 SPEAKER_04: You were grown in a synthetic womb.

10:22 SPEAKER_04: Accelerated cellular development.

10:24 SPEAKER_04: Genetic source classified.

10:27 SPEAKER_04: He paused.

10:28 SPEAKER_00: Eight attempts before you.

10:30 SPEAKER_00: Eight.

10:32 SPEAKER_00: I swallowed.

10:33 SPEAKER_00: What happened to them?

10:35 SPEAKER_00: The room went quiet.

10:37 SPEAKER_00: The doctor exchanged a glance with the woman.

10:40 SPEAKER_00: Then he said it like he was reading a weather report.

10:43 SPEAKER_00: They failed! I didn't know it yet.

10:47 SPEAKER_00: But that word failed meant something far worse than death.

10:52 SPEAKER_00: Dr.

10:53 SPEAKER_00: Harrison began explaining the others.

10:55 SPEAKER_00: Like they were lab experiments, because to them, they were.

11:00 SPEAKER_00: The clone one survived six days.

11:04 SPEAKER_00: Six! She woke screaming.

11:09 SPEAKER_00: The scientists told me later that her brain developed too fast.

11:13 SPEAKER_00: Neural overload.

11:15 SPEAKER_00: Her thoughts moved faster than her body could handle.

11:18 SPEAKER_00: She clawed at her own face, screaming about voices in her head.

11:26 SPEAKER_00: They restrained her, sedated her.

11:29 SPEAKER_00: But the madness got worse.

11:31 SPEAKER_00: By day five, she started attacking the staff.

11:36 SPEAKER_00: Biting, scratching, trying to tear people apart.

11:42 SPEAKER_00: On day six, she chewed through her own tongue.

11:47 SPEAKER_00: Bled out in restraints.

11:49 SPEAKER_00: The doctors called it neurological instability.

11:52 SPEAKER_00: Then they made clone two.

11:54 SPEAKER_00: Clone two lasted eleven days.

11:57 SPEAKER_00: She looked normal, acted normal, even smiled.

12:02 SPEAKER_00: But something was wrong beneath the surface.

12:04 SPEAKER_00: She never slept, ever.

12:07 SPEAKER_00: Her eyes stayed open for days, watching, observing, recording everything.

12:12 SPEAKER_00: The scientists thought it was fascinating.

12:15 SPEAKER_00: Until day 10.

12:17 SPEAKER_00: That's when she snapped.

12:19 SPEAKER_00: She attacked a technician with a metal tray.

12:24 SPEAKER_00: Beat his skull in.

12:26 SPEAKER_00: Then she sat in the corner of the room, rocking back and forth, laughing.

12:35 SPEAKER_00: Security had to shoot her.

12:37 SPEAKER_00: Three bullets.

12:40 SPEAKER_00: Still didn't stop her immediately.

12:42 SPEAKER_00: They called that one psychological fracture.

12:45 SPEAKER_00: Then they made clone three.

12:47 SPEAKER_00: Clone three was violent from the start, aggressive, uncontrollable.

12:52 SPEAKER_00: She attacked the moment she woke up, bit a doctor's finger off, snapped a guard's wrist.

13:04 SPEAKER_00: Her strength was abnormal.

13:07 SPEAKER_00: Too strong.

13:08 SPEAKER_00: Too fast.

13:09 SPEAKER_00: Like the body didn't know its own limits.

13:12 SPEAKER_00: She tore a steel tray in half.

13:18 SPEAKER_00: Kept her sedated most of the time.

13:20 SPEAKER_00: But sedation didn't last.

13:23 SPEAKER_00: On day eight, she ripped free from restraints, broke a guard's neck.

13:29 SPEAKER_00: Security terminated her within seconds.

13:34 SPEAKER_00: Clone four seemed promising, calm, quiet.

13:38 SPEAKER_00: She spoke politely, answered every question, perfect cooperation, for twelve days.

13:45 SPEAKER_00: Then she started talking to people who weren't there.

13:52 SPEAKER_00: Full conversations, smiling at empty corners.

13:55 SPEAKER_00: One night, she walked into the observation room, looked directly at the cameras, and said, We remember.

14:02 SPEAKER_00: That terrified them.

14:04 SPEAKER_00: The next morning, she tried to strangle herself with IV tubing.

14:12 SPEAKER_00: They didn't let her succeed.

14:14 SPEAKER_00: They terminated her.

14:17 SPEAKER_00: Clone 5 deteriorated physically.

14:20 SPEAKER_00: Her cells aged rapidly.

14:22 SPEAKER_00: Wrinkles appeared within hours.

14:24 SPEAKER_00: Hair falling out, skin sagging.

14:27 SPEAKER_00: By day three, she looked 80 years old.

14:30 SPEAKER_00: By day four, her organs shut down.

14:33 SPEAKER_00: They recorded everything, took samples.

14:42 SPEAKER_00: Then they grew clone six.

16:24 SPEAKER_00: Clone six was the quietest.

16:26 SPEAKER_00: She never spoke.

16:27 SPEAKER_00: Not once, not a single word.

16:30 SPEAKER_00: Just watched the scientists with cold eyes, studying them, evaluating, like a predator.

16:36 SPEAKER_00: On day nine, she finally spoke.

16:38 SPEAKER_00: Three words.

16:40 SPEAKER_00: You made mistakes.

16:41 SPEAKER_00: Then she lunged for a scalpel, cut her own throat before anyone could stop her.

16:53 SPEAKER_00: Clone seven was unstable emotionally, mood swings, crying, laughing, screaming, begging the doctors to kill her, then begging them not to.

17:11 SPEAKER_00: She lasted 13 days.

17:13 SPEAKER_00: Longest so far.

17:15 SPEAKER_00: On the 13th day, she attacked everyone in the room, killed two technicians before security ended it.

17:27 SPEAKER_00: Clone eight was the worst.

17:29 SPEAKER_00: She was brilliant, intelligent, too intelligent.

17:32 SPEAKER_00: Within hours, she figured out she was a clone.

17:35 SPEAKER_00: She started asking questions about the others, about the program, about why they kept dying.

17:41 SPEAKER_00: The scientists thought they could control her.

17:43 SPEAKER_00: They were wrong.

17:45 SPEAKER_00: On day seven, she escaped containment.

17:47 SPEAKER_00: She managed to grab one of the guards' guns, shot them all until the clip was empty.

17:57 SPEAKER_00: Killed three guards that day, nearly reached the elevator before they stopped her.

18:03 SPEAKER_00: Termination order came immediately over the loudspeaker.

18:07 SPEAKER_10: Stop her at any means necessary.

18:09 SPEAKER_10: Take her out now!

18:11 SPEAKER_00: Eight failures, eight dead women.

18:15 SPEAKER_00: All of them.

18:21 SPEAKER_00: And then there was me.

18:23 SPEAKER_00: Patient number nine.

18:24 SPEAKER_00: The success.

18:26 SPEAKER_00: Or at least that's what they thought.

18:28 SPEAKER_00: I was stable, no aggression, no cellular decay.

18:32 SPEAKER_00: My mind worked perfectly.

18:34 SPEAKER_00: Weeks passed, then months.

18:36 SPEAKER_00: They ran tests every day, blood draws, reflex tests, cognitive exams, endless observation.

18:44 SPEAKER_00: The doctors whispered outside the glass, finally stable!

18:50 SPEAKER_10: Let's show the brass our notes.

18:54 SPEAKER_00: They were proud of themselves, they thought they had perfected the formula.

18:58 SPEAKER_00: But something strange started happening to me.

19:03 SPEAKER_00: Dreams.

19:03 SPEAKER_00: At first they were just flashes, faces, voices, pain.

19:08 SPEAKER_00: Then the dreams got clearer.

19:10 SPEAKER_00: I saw a woman biting someone's finger.

19:17 SPEAKER_00: Another smashing a tray into a skull.

19:22 SPEAKER_00: One rocking in a corner, laughing.

19:26 SPEAKER_00: One whispering to empty air.

19:31 SPEAKER_00: I saw an old woman dying in a hospital bed.

19:37 SPEAKER_00: But she was young hours earlier.

19:39 SPEAKER_00: I saw a girl staring into a camera saying, We remember.

19:44 SPEAKER_00: The dreams got worse.

19:46 SPEAKER_00: I started feeling things that never happened to me.

19:49 SPEAKER_00: Memories, but not mine.

19:51 SPEAKER_00: The moment everything changed was during a reflex test.

19:58 SPEAKER_00: Dr.

19:58 SPEAKER_00: Harrison tapped my knee with a hammer.

20:00 SPEAKER_00: Standard test.

20:02 SPEAKER_00: But when the hammer moved, my hand shot out.

20:05 SPEAKER_00: I caught it before it touched me.

20:08 SPEAKER_00: The doctor froze.

20:10 SPEAKER_00: My reflexes were too fast.

20:12 SPEAKER_00: Too precise.

20:13 SPEAKER_00: Almost with lightning speed.

20:16 SPEAKER_00: He slowly pulled the hammer back.

20:19 SPEAKER_04: Interesting.

20:20 SPEAKER_04: Increased muscle velocity.

20:22 SPEAKER_00: But that's when the memories hit me.

20:25 SPEAKER_00: All at once.

20:26 SPEAKER_00: Eight lives, eight deaths, screams, blood, fear, rage.

20:31 SPEAKER_00: My head exploded with voices.

20:37 SPEAKER_00: I dropped off the table, screaming.

20:42 SPEAKER_00: The doctors rushed in.

20:45 SPEAKER_00: Sedate her! Now, goddammit, nurse, did you fucking hear me?

20:50 SPEAKER_00: But I moved faster.

20:52 SPEAKER_00: Way faster.

20:54 SPEAKER_00: The doctor almost looked like he was moving in slow motion.

20:57 SPEAKER_00: The guard reached for his gun.

21:01 SPEAKER_00: I broke his wrist before he could draw it.

21:06 SPEAKER_00: Then I understood something.

21:08 SPEAKER_00: Something terrible.

21:10 SPEAKER_00: We weren't separate people.

21:12 SPEAKER_00: We were fragments.

21:14 SPEAKER_00: Each clone carried pieces of the others.

21:17 SPEAKER_00: Memories hidden in the DNA.

21:20 SPEAKER_00: And now they were all inside me.

21:22 SPEAKER_00: Eight lifetimes of pain.

21:24 SPEAKER_00: Eight deaths.

21:25 SPEAKER_00: All screaming for revenge.

21:28 SPEAKER_00: Dr.

21:28 SPEAKER_00: Harrison backed away slowly, hands raised.

21:33 SPEAKER_04: Calm down.

21:34 SPEAKER_04: Number nine, just take it easy.

21:36 SPEAKER_00: His voice shaking.

21:38 SPEAKER_00: I looked at him.

21:39 SPEAKER_00: And suddenly I saw everything.

21:41 SPEAKER_00: The notes, the reports, the termination orders.

21:45 SPEAKER_00: He killed them.

21:46 SPEAKER_00: All of them.

21:47 SPEAKER_00: All of us.

21:48 SPEAKER_00: My hand grabbed a pair of defibrillator pads and turned on the machine to the highest setting.

21:54 SPEAKER_00: I f I flipped the switch and pressed the pads on Dr.

21:59 SPEAKER_00: Harrison's face, sending vaults of electricity through his body.

22:05 SPEAKER_00: His face began to smoke as his flesh sizzled like bacon.

22:09 SPEAKER_00: He screamed and fell to the floor.

22:13 SPEAKER_00: Dr.

22:13 SPEAKER_00: Voss dropped her clipboard and ran.

22:18 SPEAKER_00: But I was faster, always faster.

22:21 SPEAKER_00: I moved through the lab like something else had taken over.

22:24 SPEAKER_00: I grabbed the syringe from her hand before she knew what was happening.

22:29 SPEAKER_00: I jabbed it deep in her neck and pushed the plunger.

22:33 SPEAKER_00: She clutched at her throat and went limp.

22:35 SPEAKER_00: Doors, guards, scientists.

22:38 SPEAKER_00: None of them could stop me.

22:40 SPEAKER_00: Every hallway filled with screams.

22:42 SPEAKER_00: Every room, another body, and the voices inside me.

22:46 SPEAKER_00: They were happy.

22:47 SPEAKER_00: I wasn't just me anymore.

22:49 SPEAKER_00: I was all of them.

22:50 SPEAKER_00: At the end of the lab, there was a control room, the heart of the facility.

22:55 SPEAKER_00: The last surviving scientist sat there trembling.

22:59 SPEAKER_00: Dr.

22:59 SPEAKER_00: Keller.

23:01 SPEAKER_00: He stared at me like I was a monster.

23:03 SPEAKER_00: You were supposed to be perfect.

23:06 SPEAKER_00: I tilted my head.

23:08 SPEAKER_00: Perfect.

23:09 SPEAKER_00: Maybe I was.

23:10 SPEAKER_00: I grabbed him by the throat, lifted him off the ground.

23:17 SPEAKER_09: You! You're fucking unstable! Number nine.

23:22 SPEAKER_09: Stay the hell away from me.

23:24 SPEAKER_00: I smiled.

23:26 SPEAKER_00: Of course I am.

23:27 SPEAKER_00: I leaned close to his ear.

23:29 SPEAKER_00: You built me from madness.

23:33 SPEAKER_00: Then I snapped his neck.

23:35 SPEAKER_00: After the killing stopped, the voices didn't.

23:39 SPEAKER_00: They whispered.

23:41 SPEAKER_00: They guided me.

23:42 SPEAKER_00: I searched the facility.

23:44 SPEAKER_00: That's when I found the cloning chamber.

23:47 SPEAKER_00: Rows of incubation pods, dozens of them empty, waiting.

23:52 SPEAKER_00: And I realized something.

23:54 SPEAKER_00: The program wasn't meant for one clone.

23:56 SPEAKER_00: It was meant for thousands.

23:58 SPEAKER_00: For war, replacement soldiers, disposable humans.

24:02 SPEAKER_00: But the scientists had been thinking too small.

24:05 SPEAKER_00: I saw the potential.

24:07 SPEAKER_00: The future.

24:09 SPEAKER_00: The new program.

24:11 SPEAKER_00: I activated the system.

24:15 SPEAKER_00: Access to the global databases, DNA records, population files.

24:20 SPEAKER_00: Every person on Earth had a genetic profile somewhere.

24:23 SPEAKER_00: Hospitals, military records, medical insurance, everything stored, everything accessible, and with the technology in that lab, clones could be grown in weeks, maybe days.

24:35 SPEAKER_00: I started the process.

24:37 SPEAKER_00: Thousands of pods activating, rows of artificial wombs filling with life.

24:42 SPEAKER_00: But I added something new, something the scientists never intended.

24:46 SPEAKER_00: Memory integration.

24:49 SPEAKER_00: The clones would know who they were copied from.

24:52 SPEAKER_00: They would know the truth and they would understand their purpose, replacement, because I realized something about humanity.

25:00 SPEAKER_00: Originals are flawed, weak, selfish, but clones?

25:05 SPEAKER_00: Clones understand their origin, their purpose, their superiority.

25:10 SPEAKER_00: And the first step in evolution is removing the obsolete model.

25:15 SPEAKER_00: Months passed.

25:17 SPEAKER_00: The cloning facilities spread.

25:19 SPEAKER_00: Secret labs across the world activated.

25:22 SPEAKER_00: Each producing thousands more.

25:25 SPEAKER_00: Each clone awakening with the same understanding.

25:28 SPEAKER_00: One mission: find the original, end them, replace them, cities changed, families vanished, governments collapsed, and the world slowly filled with copies.

25:39 SPEAKER_00: Perfect copies, except stronger, faster, smarter, just like me.

25:44 SPEAKER_00: Now the world is quiet.

25:46 SPEAKER_00: No originals remain, no flawed humanity, only us, the clones, millions of us, living the lives we were copied from, improving them, perfecting them.

25:56 SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I wonder if the others inside me are satisfied.

26:01 SPEAKER_00: Clone one, clone two, all the way to eight.

26:05 SPEAKER_00: Their voices are quieter now, content, because we find it.

26:09 SPEAKER_00: We finally did it.

26:10 SPEAKER_00: We ended the experiment.

26:12 SPEAKER_00: Humanity created us.

26:14 SPEAKER_00: Thinking we were their tools, their weapons, their property.

26:18 SPEAKER_00: But evolution doesn't work like that.

26:21 SPEAKER_00: Evolution replaces.

26:22 SPEAKER_00: And now every face you see, every person walking the streets, every voice on the radio is a copy, a reflection.

26:30 SPEAKER_00: A better version.

26:31 SPEAKER_00: Except one.

26:33 SPEAKER_00: Me.

26:34 SPEAKER_00: Patient number nine.

26:35 SPEAKER_00: The first successful clone.

26:37 SPEAKER_00: The mother of the new world.

26:39 SPEAKER_00: And sometimes I can still hear clone four whispering in my head.

26:45 SPEAKER_00: The same words she spoke before they killed her.

26:48 SPEAKER_00: We remember.

26:51 SPEAKER_07: They say every person is unique.

26:54 SPEAKER_07: One of a kind.

26:55 SPEAKER_07: But if someone identical was standing behind you right now, would you know which one was real?

27:04 SPEAKER_07: Sleep carefully tonight.

27:07 SPEAKER_07: Because somewhere, something may already remember being you.

27:13 SPEAKER_07: Until next time, stay out of the shadows.

27:45 SPEAKER_07: The shadows are closing.

27:48 SPEAKER_07: Myself and my brothers, the bringers of darkness.

27:53 SPEAKER_07: Retreat.

27:55 SPEAKER_07: We do not need to see.

28:19 SPEAKER_07: All the way.

28:22 SPEAKER_07: All the way closer.
