GO Moonbase #8: Hal logs a journal entry about the cost of lunar-terran shipping.

All lunar-terran public transportation is provided exclusively by GO GalactiCorps’ Bot Division, headquartered at Shackleton Center, located at the lunar South Pole, and the balmy city of Winnipeg, located in the approximate center of North America on Earth.

A series of robotic mass driver devices at both locations are responsible for initiating atmospheric flight of cargo and passenger shuttles and an on-board gravity core fuels the pan-atmospheric journey.

While the cost of such transportation is relatively minimal, GO Bot Division recently began to price gouge its customers, for reasons unknown. Though consumers were at first shocked by the cost increase to ship to and from the moon, they eventually settled into a numb acceptance over the whole matter and continue to use the lunar-terran transport services of GO Bot Division without inhibition.

GO Moonbase #7: Hal fears there may be another man in Rainey’s life.

Human cloning was first legalized in Holland in 2082, though the first successful human clone would not occur for another 56 years.

In 2138, Dr. Hans Oleo and his team of genetic engineers managed to successfully create a clone of Dr. Oleo. Unfortunately, it was an evil clone – it surreptitiously murdered Dr. Oleo and took over his life. It was not until several members of his team were mysteriously killed and the doctor grew a mustache and goatee that the crime was discovered and the clone destroyed.

Human cloning has come a long way since its inauspicious beginnings. Genetic engineering robots can now produce clones catered to 99.71% of a host-client’s specifications. After a successful gestation, it takes an average of 10 sub-cycles for the duplicate body to be physically trained and societal integration to occur.

Any parties interested in conducting a cloning session on their own must first acquire a license from the Council for a New Tomorrow’s Human Cloning Licensing office at vid-pod CNT-3E. To contact a licensed genetic operator, check your local YellowPod.
