[font=Times New Roman]For all those that are born, there are an equal amount of those that are not. To be born is a sacred thing. It is a coveted memory for parents and grandparents alike. Something to be held dear. But what about those that are never born? The ones we know as those that are miscarried. What happens to them? What happens to their families? What happens when they are cloned by accident?

On the distant world of Anom Or, there is a family. No one of importance to the government or to anyone other than their families. The mother was a stay at home mom no older than 30. The father, a technician for a local repair crew, was 32. They'd met each other four years prior when he had been asked by his employer to take a job at her house. Eventually he spent more time there than he did even at work.

[font=Times New Roman]Over time, a period of four years, the two grew to love each other very much. More than some could ever dream of feeling. The father took the mother out one night to a quiet park through which ran a silent brook. Leading her up to the bridge, he stopped half way up it and turned to her. Dropping down to one knee, he looked up at her and spoke.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]“Arriane, I love you more than words are able to express. These last four years have been the best of my life. I want the rest of these years to be even better.” He pulled a box with a ring in it from behind his back and opened it to her. “Arriane, will you marry me?”[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Of course she said yes, and he slipped the ring on her finger. She stood there for a few moments looking at the gems that were laid into the metal, and then she threw her arms around him and gave him a hug. He smiled and rubbed her back gently as they staid in the same spot for what seemed like countless hours. Their engagement lasted two years.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]On the day of their wedding, they didn’t know it but they sealed the fate of their first child.[/font][font=Times New Roman]ordina The father was infected with a unique virus that inhibited reproduction. Less than a year after their marriage, the mother became pregnant. Doctors told her it would be a fine and healthy human son. Unfortunately, something went wrong.

[font=Times New Roman]Seven months into the pregnancy that baby suddenly died. Doctors proceeded to do a c-section on the mother. They then attempted to bring the child back but to no avail. Their son was dead before even being born. They mourned and cried over their loss and a couple of days later buried the child. [/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Unbeknownst to them, a scientist of sorts happened across a sample of their dead sons DNA in the lab at the local med-facility. Stealing the DNA, he left and went back to his facility way off in the mountains. This scientist was not an ordinary scientist nor was his results [/font]ry. The scientist was a cloner.
[/font]

[font=Times New Roman]Taking the DNA of the deceased son, he began the slow and long process of creating a clone. A clone he hoped, after testing, would be able to control and wield the force. Only time would tell whether the clone would even be stable. If the clone could control the force, however, it would make for a weapon he could use against those that had taken his wife and kids from him. But only time would tell.[/font]
