Chapter 666 - Lookin' Good

Afton crooks a brow at Doctor 8's status, he knew there'd be some difficulties when concerning clone development, but now that he was able to confirm it?... He'd have to look into some way of stimulating a clone body's muscles as it grew...

Fortunately, it seems as if Ulysses genetics were enough to produce a fairly viable body. And if Doctor 8 was willing to put the effort in, he'd probably be far above average compared to most other wastelanders.

"Ahem..." 8 awkwardly coughs into his fist from beside Afton.

"Yeah?" Afton asks after coming out of his thoughts.

"Aaassh nnnicee ash thiiyyss has beeeyn, Iy woould liyke two wreetuurnnn two my wrroom. I wwiish to eexshplore myy nnew..." the scientist gestures down at his crotch.

Afton rears back slightly in disgust, "Okay, first of all, gross. Second, make sure to use lube, I ain't giving you another body if you blister your new cock, getting it infected and forcing us to amputate it." he states as he stands.

8's eyes widen at his word, his lips twitching as if visually it, "I-Isss thaaat possshible?"

Afton crosses his arms, "Probably, I've never seen anyone stupid enough to do it... Maybe you can make an experiment outta it." he says as he calls for Glados to escort Doctor 8 home.

Three weeks later :

A couple weeks pass in which Afton had been busy giving clone bodies to the scientists. He'd obviously used Ulysses DNA when creating them, though, he had taken their old body's DNA and used them in the process as well.

The DNA had heavily degraded over time, which left limit options when concerning it... But, Afton and Dala had managed to find a solution... They'd extrapolate the code from their DNA and integrated it with Ulysses, essentially making their new bodies offspring of themselves and Uylsses...

Again, he wasn't looking forward to the time when Ulysses discovers that he has many two hundred year old children... That'd be difficult to explain.

Dala's new appearance was a mix of Asian and Ulysses' native American... She honestly resembled a darker-skinned Doctor Usanagi... Her breasts were small, and she'd immediately cut the clones hair short, leaving her looking like a tomboy...

Again, she'd started propositioning Afton to 'try out her new skin suit'. Which he quickly rejected, but the subject seemed to keep coming up... He was starting to think she might actually have feelings for him...

Doctor Zero was a mix between his old caucasian body and Ulysses, he had tanned skin and curly black hair, markedly different from the straight brown he apparently had before. He was tall and lanky, and with the rather make-shift muscle stimulation system Afton had devised, he was stronger than the average man.

He was still a nervous wreck though, making any attraction his body presented null... Get it?... Anyway, as he was a virgin when he had his brain swapped into a robotic body, he'd tried to find a romantic partner in Big Mt... Only to fail with every attempt.

He'd come to Afton for some advice, but Afton just shrugged and said "Girls usually just come to me, my advice would be to up your confidence if you want some tail".

His answer seemed to have demoralised the scientist, but he hadn't stopped his attempts, which meant at least he was trying...

Next was Borous, who had looked Icelandic before becoming a robot... Making his race after mixing his DNA with Ulysses rather difficult to say... He looked like Ulysses with straight black hair and a massive black beard... His build was also larger than everyone else, making him look like a novice strong man.

Borous was very excited to get a human body back, as now he could directly interact with the creature's he was creating... His reunion with Gabe had been especially heartwarming, the giant dog whining and wagging its tail as if greeting its owner who'd been at war.

After Borous was Klein, and wow, his clone body turned into an ugly bastard. His caucasian features didn't mix well with Ulysses, giving his a large nose, lots of wrinkles(Despite his body being 18 years old), and a flabby body... Despite his bad appearance though, his stats were actually better than Zero's.

He didn't seem to care about his appearance either, only that he could now work more efficiently due to how flexible human hands were, as well as the litany of tools designed with them in mind.

Now, last but not least was Mobius... Afton was slightly wary of putting him in a human body, as his dementia may cause him to accidentally hurt himself or something... Maybe forgetting to feed himself while he was in the midst of research?... At the scientists' assistance though, he obliged and created a body for him... He could probably have Glados keep an eye on him in the meantime though.

Mobius body looked the most 'handsome' out of all of them, with a square jaw, thick black hair, and symmetrical face. His build was strong, but not overly so, giving him a sophisticated look. This was only improved when the man donned an old-fashioned-looking suit, fit with pocket watch and all.

Afton wasn't sure where he got it, and when asked, Mobius had no idea either.

One thing that Afton was cautious about was the productivity of the scientists... Now that they had to eat, sleep, and take care of their body's, they wouldn't be able to work 100% of the time like they had before.

He'd created a graph of their productivity before the change, and was still waiting to see how badly it deviated... He hoped having human body's would boost their creativity and motivation, but time would tell if that actually did anything...

At least now that everyone had a new body, Afton could go back to spending time with Josie, who was looking more and more pregnant as time went on. He was fortunate enough to have Glados, Alfred, and the other personalities looking out, and keeping her company while he was busy.
