The **Failed Vita clones** are the results of Project CHIMERA created and headed by Rinaldo Morenos which is supported by Frank Cojocaru and Jacob E. Sloan. Morenos created to project to fulfill his God Complex and Cojocaru and Sloan helped to resurrect the Ruedian's to create weapons, etc.

Created aboard the Ergastulum Z2-19 and are horribly malformed born from the deceased Ensign Meg with the left-over DNA from Morenos when he raped her, along with slicing the DNA of Magi-Human, Osiran, Ruedian, and Lilin.

## Clones

**Prima Vita** is the smallest and only survived about a week into the process resembling a five-pound infant about a month old with a large head like a dolphin, claws too big for its body, and sharp yellow teeth. Prima was so horribly deformed it couldn't survive on it's on and died.

**Secunda Vita** size is around that of a toddler with his body being too thin and Ruedian yet having very human appendages. It also had a large head like Prima but was more oblong and it had a thin mouth and eyes and no teeth. According to Sloan, one day it's heart burst.

**Tertia Vita** like *Secunda* was the size of a toddler but resembled too much of a human infant and had too much body fat on it, this one was also the only one who had a more shaped head and scales. But it had no feet instead having a tail like appendage, (\*&\*) remarked that it looked like a mermaid.

**Quarta Vita** has two mouths and a long tail like Octavia, this is also the only one with hair. This one only survived about two weeks despite its growth rate and was a great surprise to the team of doctors.

**Quinta Vita** was given too much Ruedian DNA believe that it's human DNA was too inferior, but this had the opposite effect being arguable the most deformed and terrifying creature out of the clones. For some reason its hand fused together onto it's back and dorsal horns grew out of the forearms, sharp teeth, and had tentacles instead of toes.

**Sextia Vita** has an oblong head but a very normal facial structure similar to Septima and hair though it is patchy, its legs are bowed and has extra joints on its fingers. Its vagina was also well displayed as it was the only one to develop a mammal's reproduction system.

Despite their failure, the early clones were stored aboard the Ergastulum Z2-19 in large tanks filled with a preservative liquid, presumably both for further study and as a record of what had been achieved. After Eight pulled the plug on Septima and held her hand as she died, she burned down the rest of the clones via the chemicals in the lab incinerating them with the help of Alek and Mark.

## Septima Vita

Septima was the only clone that was still alive when encountered on board the Eragastulum by Eight and the crew of the (\*&\*) and was arguably the most human in appearance before Octavia. Outwardly, Septima closely resembled Megara, but with a bloated, deformed body. There was evidence that Sloan and his team had performed surgery on Septima's chest, presumably attempting to retrieve Ruedian tissue from within, although it is unlikely any viable material was recovered.

The creature was apparently in considerable physical pain when discovered, possibly only kept alive by the medical equipment it was connected to. Mentally it appeared to be somewhat handicapped, as it had significant difficulty communicating, capable of muttering only a few disjointed syllables. At its own insistence, the clone was euthanized by Eight, who pulled it's wiring out and held its hand as it died.
