Cloning

A vital part of the Blockhead species, is the cloning of stereotypical individuals - the average warrior of the land. On their planet, they have a fully operational, however limited in size, duplication facility. Its appearance is in the shape of a tomb - when passed the stages of creation and additional modification, it can safely crawl out of its individual cell and lower itself, from the ladder to the ground, and to its position in the main room.

The rate at which life is created, is slow in modern times, since this is prototypical and the first phase of their intelligent duplication techniques. A fair dome-shaped architectural structure, located opposite the parking of 'The Yellow Voyager' stands in bold crimson. Electrical apparatus to achieve the power required is placed in the centre of the exterior, on the top, acting as a receiver. At the will of the Overlords, the technician(s) manipulate(s) the controls at parallel sides in the dome's exterior.

Machinery involving the apparatus is not the only way to generate Blockhead life - Overlords can manipulate non-Blockheads into one of them through explosive shots of liquefied bodily composition ejected at them like a spilt drink, or through contact with the Overlords themselves, whilst in one piece - nonetheless, the composition is forced by the brain of the Overlord(s) in action to react and infect, contaminate and metamorphose those impure of their characteristics.

Stages of Cloning

1. The initial approval of the Overlords has to be asked and recorded on pen and paper, before the technician(s) can begin their work. To save time, technicians can request to do batches of 10-20, rather than visiting the main room to ask for each clone, one by one.

2. Secondly, after the supposed approval, the authorised personnel begin filling a bath-sized tank of Noobtonian casing - the yellow composition of the noob, then place a blank coloured (salt white) entity into the tank. The entity is recognisable on every single cloned or natural entity being - the six, cube/cuboid limbs of the body. When the blank canvas is fully submerged in the Noobtonian casing, the casing is absorbed by the blank body, leaving the tank somewhat dry. No longer is the composition a casing, it is a solid, but the particles can liquify at the user's will, at any given time and solidify back up.

3. Technicians and other related personnel equip gloves and goggles, as to not contaminate the unfinished clone. With extreme caution, the body is clothed with generic green trousers and a blue shirt, before being taken to a tomb cell, for the complete bodily structure to stabilise, and for the internal features such as their heart, brain, digestive system etc to form. This takes hours. After the entity is placed inside a cell, the temperature of the individual cell increases steadily, throughout the processing of the duplicates.

4. During these hours, the technicians monitor the progress of the duplicates, on a screen. A check-up is done every half an hour, rather than staring at a screen consecutively, the entire time.

5. When the 3-D visualiser registers the batch/singular clone as 90% complete, the technician ask once more for the Overlords' verification, to confirm. Yet again, this is recorded. Their signatures are placed upon the paper.

6. Lastly, the batch are numbered appropriately with the current date followed by a hyphen and another number, which indicates which one it is (for example, if one of them is the first, sixth, or twentieth, etc of a batch) before release.
