Cloning Device
First Appearance: "Dream Lover."
Details: Combining his knowledge of nanotechnology and genetics, ex-Genomex scientist Dr. Nolan Blackledge developed a machine capable of cloning women's minds and bodies. The synthetic clones were virtually indistinguishable from their human counterparts, but could dissolve into individual nanites. The clones could be destroyed with an electrical charge.
Technobabble:
Sebastian Conway: "I want to clone her body and her brain. Personality, memory, everything."
Nolan Blackledge: "Uh. I’ve never attempted an entire replication."
Sebastian: "Well, it’s obvious she’s not working alone. We need to know what she knows in order to turn it to our advantage."
Nolan: "Memories are nothing more than electronic impulses, so we should be able to reproduce them organically. I mean, there’s gonna be holes, I can’t replicate everything."
Sebastian: "That’s fine. There’s no reason this shouldn’t work like the others. The key is to maintain control of her mind. Then we send her back to where she came from as a Trojan horse. Problem solved."
Jesse: "He’s figured out how to create synthetic clones by combining genetics with nanotechnology. These synthetic clones are virtually indistinguishable from their human counterparts."
Jesse: "I finally figured out the off switch. Since these guys are based in nanotechnology, the only way to dis--"
Brennan: "Just cut to it!"
Jesse: "Electricity. You could be the key, Sparky."
