In 2050, a team of scientists were sent into space in order to travel to potentially habitable planets outside the solar system. Due to the long nature of the journey, the scientists were in stasis for most of the trip. As their bodies aged, new bodies were cloned, and memories of the scientists were placed inside the clones. This would continue automated for thousands of years as they made their trip.
Edwin Greene was probably the first scientist to be brought out of status, and he immediately noted some differences to his body. It seemed that in the cloning process, the automation was subject to a few mistakes. For starters, it seemed at some point, his X chromosome had been duplicated instead of giving him an X and a Y. He seemed taller too. He only hoped there was no damage to the memory transfer. As he floated around the spaceship, he also thought it might be wise to check in on some of his team to see if they encountered something similar. The gender balance had been very delicate, so a few too many errors like what had happened to him could be problematic on the new planet.
