On a spaceport, it seemed quiet, everything technological was turned off, indicating that it was just built. Everything was so advanced and futuristic, Lisa Loud's dream come true if you will. And there was a laboratory, the length of twelve football fields, and the height of a warehouse.
In a huge laboratory, there was a large tube filled with some sort of blue liquid, containing a 17-year-old blonde woman in a two-piece swimsuit, unconscious as floats in the liquid.
"Cloning process begin..." A computerized voice said.
The glass tube opened up, spilling the liquid as the 17-year-old fell to the ground, coughing as she gains consciousness as the Tube lowers into the ground. The ground doorway slams shut. As she stood on all fours, she noticed her surroundings and started to get nervous, what was she doing here?
"
Lori Clone One, activated..." A computerized voice said.
The clone checked out her surroundings, from computer stations to security monitors, she felt wary.
"What is this place?" The girl said, surprised. "Who am I?"
"You are a genetic copy of Lori Marie Loud. The eldest of the Loud Siblings of the Loud clan, and the first clone of billions at the Citadel of Lori Louds."
"Clone?" The Lori clone responded, shocked. She let it sink, she's just a copy of the original, not the real deal, nothing more but a replica. Why was she even here? As she took a deep breath, she thought to herself, hoping things won't get any weirder. "How far am I from home?"
"Quite far, in Deep Space." The Computer responded.
"You mean to tell me I'm all alone in the cosmos?!" The Girl said, incredulously. Little did she know, she was about to be proven wrong.
Then, another tube rose from a doorway on the ground, with light shining in the doorway. The girl walked up to the tube, and saw another girl...that was identical to her!
"It's...me?" Lori #1 said, shocked.
The tube opened up, releasing the girl's double as she fell. The girl caught her, breaking her fall as the double coughed.
"Lori Clone Two, activated..." A computerized voice said.
The first girl then spoke, "You okay?"
The double replied, "I'm fine. What's going on?"
"Haven't a clue, something weird, though. We're both clones of this Lori Loud."
"Wait, what?"
"Exactly."
The two went to the computer, pressing a button, showing a screen that said, "Day One Cloning Process: Clones #3 and 4 now generating."
"Uh..." Both Loris said, stunned, before looking at each other.
"Should we ask what's going on?" Lori #1 asks.
"Well, it is a computer, maybe we should type up what's going on in this place." Lori #2 said. Lori #1 nodded in assurance.
Lori #1 typed up a question, "What happened?"
The computer responds, "While Earth was coping with COVID-19, with all the deaths and cases, a scientist named Richard wanted to test if Human civilization on an empty Citadel, so, he took a blood sample from a Lori Marie Loud from Royal Woods, Michigan for a test run. Starting the construction in Late December and finishing it on time for Super Bowl Sunday, the Citadel took flight into the cosmos, but not before building a cloning machine underneath the Lab you currently are in, creating a civilization to live on the Citadel, hopefully, changing lives of trillions for better."
"What is the ideal population for this citadel?" Lori #2 asks.
"At least Trillions, Final number of clones is unknown." The Computer responds.
Suddenly, two of the same cloning tubes containing two more Loris appeared from the ground. The tubes released the clones, and Clone #2 ran up to both of them, helping them up.
"Lori Clones Three and Four, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Clones Five through Eight now generating."
Lori #2 helps them retain balance as Lori #4 retches out liquid, disgusting the other Lori clones.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Lori #2 asks.
"I'm fine." Lori #4 responds. "Now tell us what's going on."
"We're all clones of this "Lori", and we've been chosen to live in this Citadel for a trial run, seeing how some sort of spaceport will benefit humans for decades, perhaps centuries if this trial run is successful." Lori #1 said as the other 3 clones headed to the computer. "Right now, we're going through the cloning process."
"How many clones are being created for Day One?" Lori #2 asks.
"One thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Clones for day one at Citadel." The computer responds.
"So, we're basically Lab Rats in this situation?" Lori #3 asks.
"Apparently." Lori #1 said.
"Then why just clones of the same person?"
"Richard was inebriated with alcohol when he thought of this with his grandson, Mortimer." The Computer replied.
"Of course he was." All four Loris replied.
Once again, cloning tubes rose from the opening ground, but this time, there were four containers containing four Loris. The tubes released the clones, and Clone #2 ran up to both of them, helping them up.
"Lori Clones Five through Eight, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Clones nine through sixteen now generating."
"Thank you." Loris #5 and #7 responded as they caught their breath.
"Appreciate it." Loris #6 and #8 said. "What's going on?"
"We're apparently clones in a new environment for a test run of a new home." Lori #1 said.
"So, where do we go?" Lori #7 asks. "I mean, where should we head off to when day one of the process stops?"
"I guess we go wherever home is for now for the next 30 days for us." Lori #1 replies, uncertain.
Suddenly, the moment was ruined by the fact that they're all in bikinis, making the moment awkward for everyone.
"We should get clothes on." All the Loris said. One of them walked up to a closet, which had the size of a warehouse, containing a bunch of clothes. A light blue shirt and black legging tights with a light blue leather jacket, in addition to black boots, black gloves, and matching epaulets on their jackets.
Each of eight Loris grabbed a uniform, preparing to put it on, but notice that they were simultaneously about to put them on while next to one another.
"We should probably get some privacy!" All the clones stated.
"It isn't anything we've never seen before." A Lori stated, while shrugging.
"But we're changing into clothes in front of others." Another Lori said, sternly. "Let's just go to different places and change.
Just as they were about to do that, Eight containers containing Eight Loris rose from the ground. The tubes released the clones, and they fell to the ground, coughing out Liquid and/or becoming scared of the place that they were in.
"Lori Clones Nine through Sixteen, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Clones Seventeen through Thirty-Two now generating."
The clones then gazed at Lori #2 in a skeptical manner. Lori #2 was about to help them up, when the new clones started to get up, noticing their prodical sisters.
"Wait, why do you look like me?" Loris #9 through #16 ask while walking over to them.
"It's a long story." Loris #1 through #8 replied.
Then, the Lori clones went to different places to change into their newer clothes, while the Eight new Lori clones went over to the clothing area and put on their clothes.
After the Sixteen Loris got dressed, they went on the computer for a map through the Citadel. So far, they've haven't found one yet.
"Anything yet?" Lori #15 asks.
"Nothing." Lori #1 replied. "No map yet., but I'm sure we'll have one before the cloning process is complete."
"Wait, isn't this like a completely advanced Computer?" Lori #2 asks, then she spoke to the computer, asking, "Computer, where is the home bases for us?"
"Not far from here, Map in Holographic Contactor." The Computer said, opening a drawer, revealing square-shaped futuristic phones, enough for thousands of Loris to each have. The sixteen grab their Contactors.
"We've got our Phones," Lori #1 said. "We should probably get a move on."
Lori #1 was about to leave, but Lori #2 stopped her, grabbing her by the arm as she replied, "Wait, what about the other clones? We can't just leave them here."
"Why not?" Lori #1 replied. "Everything they need is in this room. Clothes, Contactors, they won't get lost. And overall, they're us. Right down to the brain."
"True, but they'll be nervous about this place." Lori #2 said.
"Fine, if you want to fall behind and try to catch up, that's your business. But we Loris have to get a move on." Lori #1 sighed, rudely rolling her eyes before glaring at her.
Just as fifteen Lori clones were leaving, Sixteen containers containing Sixteen Loris rose from the ground. The tubes released the clones, and they fell to the ground, coughing out Liquid and/or becoming scared of the place that they were in.
"Lori Clones Seventeen through Thirty-Two, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Clones Thirty-Three through One Hundred Twenty-Eight now generating."
Lori #2 went over to some of the clones, handing them each the same clothes the other Loris had on. They all put those on, but the new clones were really confused about what's going on.
"What's the meaning of this?" The newer clones ask.
"It's all in that computer over there." Lori #2 said, pointing to the computer. This prompted the girls to head over to the computer, asking questions and getting answers.
"Easy, one at a time, Loris." Lori #2 said, annoyed.
Meanwhile, in the halls, Loris #1 through #16, minus #2, were going down the halls, hoping to find their homes for the next few days. Suddenly, they found something shocking, a spacy area, almost resembling a mall, in fact.
"This might be where we're heading towards to." Lori #1 said, looking at the direction sign, saying the ways to go find the home base. And it tells the Loris to go right, which they do.
After a few minutes, the Loris made it to home base. As they enter, they find that there are 39 rooms for 25 people each. Inside was a blank white room with futuristic beds attached to the walls.
"Alright, while you girls make yourselves at home, I'm going to check on how the process is going with #2 and the other Lori Louds." Lori #1 said, walking back to the cloning room.
At the Cloning room, there were now 111 Lori Loud clones suiting up, talking to each other, with Lori #2 waiting for the cloning progress to end.
"Lori Clones Thirty-Three through One Hundred Twenty-Eight, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Clones One Hundred Twenty-Eight through One Thousand and twenty-four now generating."
Lori #2 walked up to Loris #119 & #94, who were curious to see how this would turn out as well. "This is so weird."
"And so cool!" Both Loris replied. "We literally think alike, act alike and so on!"
"But mostly weird." Lori #2 said, feeling awkward. "We have to share rooms with each other, and it's almost as if we're in a house of mirrors."
"You might get used to it." The clones replied.
896 containers containing 896 Loris rose from the ground. The tubes released the clones, and they fell to the ground, coughing out Liquid and/or becoming scared of the place that they were in, only to be either startled and or greeted by the other Lori Clones.
"Lori Clones One Hundred Twenty-Eight through One Thousand and twenty-four, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Remaining clones now generating."
"How's the cloning progress going, Lori?" Lori #1 asks.
"Almost complete." Lori #2 said, relieved. "The clones are starting to get used to the surroundings. And the bedrooms?"
"Looks like we'll just have to share them." Lori #1 sighed. "It won't be easy."
"It'll be harder with Day 2 of cloning." Lori #942 said, walking by.
975 containers containing 975 Loris rose from the ground. The tubes released the clones, and they fell to the ground, coughing out Liquid and/or becoming scared of the place that they were in, only to be either startled and or greeted by the other Lori Clones.
"Remaining Clones, activated..." A computerized voice said. "Day one of Cloning Process complete. Commencing Preparations for Day Two of Cloning Process"
"Alright, let's go home." Lori #1 said, as all the other Loris suited up.
At the home base, many of the Loris started to make themselves feel at home, even though some of them had to take turns getting their things settled. It took hours, but the clones came to an agreement to try to share bedrooms as effectively as they can.
But other than that, there was still one question on their mind, who was Lori Loud?
