Cloning tragedy

Jason was impaled on the fire spear of the spacewitch Zazoo, he fell through the atmosphere, burning. we gasped in pain and terror as we saw the tragedy enfold. his red suit had some traces, i swabbed it, did all the steps, got a viable embryo.

Aisha, the yellow ranger defeated the evil dragon F'trogg, while the diminshed team fought the witch again. Aisha came close, to finish off the beast, when in a spasm of its tail, it tore through her suit. how that was possible, i shall never know, the deflection magic did not work well enough, is what i guess. a tiny scratch was all it took. micrograms of venom more powerful than ever, spread through her heart, stopping it. this time we at least had a body to bury. i took a sample of blood.

R.J, the purple ranger lost control of his dino, on a simple training exercise, his neck was broken as he was thrown at four times the speed of sound straight into a granite cliffside. again, i collected samples.

when mount. Katitka erupted, Tommy, the green power ranger, tried his best to launch the soectral sheild. alas, the fire gnome of the mountain was too strong. he used his braclet communicator to radio mission control of plan B, to run through the eruption with the antimatter disruptor. it was a suicidal. he died for nothing. all the fire gnome wanted, we found, was the stone of Merf, which was rightfully his to begin with. he, the gnome i mean, was kind enough to bring back what was left of the body. i collcted another sample.

i took the samples to the nuclear shelter. i sourced the materials, and grew embryos, for the rest. the jason embryo was progressing well.

they grew in the vats, and i hoped that it would somehow make up for all that happened. the deformations, where the umbilical attached to their scalp was something i accepted. i told myself, that they if they will grow better, then it's a small price. it was soon was apparent that they had severe problems with immune response. we enclosed them in the bunker, and turned the main assembly hall into a garden. they liked the smiling baby-sun as it rose over the astroturf meadow. they jumped and played, but did not develop mentally. Tinkywinky and LaLa seemed to be more assertive. i expected that Dipsy or Po (R.Js and Jason's clones, respectively) could advance to morphin level, but it would not be so. they grew in size, and hostility to outsiders. their fur bristling ferrally at any approach by the technicians. they grre even bigger, finally reaching the full dino size, and blasted their way through the containment facility.

luckily they quickly succumbed to the airborne vectors released by the Zazoo, who changed sides and now worked in alliance with us, 'gainst the space directorate. she helped putting them down, with minimal loss of life. and i vowed then to never clone again!!
