Video [Backdated around the arrival of clones]

[doesnotsparkle]

[ The ever dramatic vampire made sure to lean his phone to get the best sound and visual of himself standing under a single light for brilliant shadows. Extra this one is, even in his lab coat. A pair of glasses on his face doesn't seem to help the glowing red eyes. ]

Good Afternoon everyone listening. I would first like to take a second to introduce myself. I am Dr. Michael Morbius, now, some of you will know that name and will raise some concerns, allow me to ease your mind and say that I have left the past behind me as I hope you all have in this new world we live in. At the same time, if you give me trouble, I will return it in kind. With that out of the way, allow me to return to my point.

I would like to ask, voluntarily of course, if any of you who wish to help me with a bit of research here... I need your blood.

[ Dramatic pause, because those fangs are very visible. ]

I have a few subjects who have allowed me samples before the vaccine came out, and a few others after. That said I have noticed a difference enough that I wish to have samples to keep for those of us brought from the other world to monitor for further changes.

No, before you ask, I will not be drinking them. This is science not my dinner. I could state my credentials or you can trust the man in the coat who earned his degrees while most of you were still nursing. Now, do I have anyone willing?

[ Poor Connor. He needs a hug and a juicebox. Or oil can... Who knows. ]

Let's hope so, I have a feeling that stunt I pulled is going to cost me my job, alas I think I can get by fine if I must, My higher ups chewed me out like a was a child.

[ He lifted his coffee and took a drink. ]

So was mine, Hank, That is why I wanted the samples in hopes of finding a means of tell the reals versus the fakes, but I have had no luck and everyone assumes I will be tossing back the donations so... I doubt they will.

In my world these things happen but usually it is easier to tell. But even the age of the blood matches Hank. It makes no bloody sense.

[ He spoke lower as he took another drink, huh that coffee looks funny stained around the edge... He might have carried it in. ]

Technically I guess it does make bloody sense, but that's beside the point. [He says with the most painfully and tragically straight face in the world.]

The name of this place is Dualis. Maybe that's always been the point. Perfect making 'doubles' of people.

[Hank fumbles his phone out, looking around carefully, before positioning it so Mike can see the video with the sound off. Its of a double woman standing next to her other double. The double realizes she's found out, then attacks.]

I've got a few videos of these things. This is my phone from Detroit, it's not connected to Dualisnet. Connor also recorded the whole encounter.

Mike, I think we should hold onto this until we're sure it can do some good.

A fine point. [ Michael loved spitballing with this man. God he was so fun to mess with, and gave it back just as good. ]

It would stand to reason that is exactly what is happening. That is why i asked for samples after all. I want to find the difference, there must be something at a molecular level.

[ Michael reached over and placed a hand over the phone to push it on back into Hanks hand more, onlookers might think that their holding hnads for a second. ]

Keep that safe, I am sure they are watching me now, I want to see it later but somewhere else. We will break this when we have enough proof.

[Hank nods earnestly, before raising a hand with another burst of noise from the coffee grinder.]

There's something you need to know. After the black-out? Most of the cops didn't remember it. So me and Connor are thinking maybe a lotta people here are already done. That it might take a year to do it.

So be really damn careful who you talk to, alright? I'm gonna ask around, see if I can get some confirmation. But if this is what I think it is, we only got a few months and the Heart really fucked themselves over in their rush to be dramatic.

[Or at least Marie did. He's guessing that Nick might have advised them to be honest. If she's still fucking alive. He's not seen her.]
