บท 210: Replication

Selma Payne's POV:

To confirm a certain conjecture, I had to know a few questions. "What was their state when they appeared? Are they panting as if they'd just walked a few thousand meters, or are they just standing there and chatting?"

"They're panting. Everyone's exhausted." Dorothy immediately said, "We can all see that their footsteps are heavy, and their limbs are weak. They have been through a long journey."

"Did any of them turn back to check where they came from? Or do they show an expression of surprise, excitement, or disbelief?"

"Oh… it's hard to say. I didn't pay attention to that. Emmett said that he did see some excitement on the faces of a few younger humans. What's wrong with that?" Emmett was a member of Dorothy's team.

The long journey, the journey, and the excited young people.

All of this evidence pointed to one possibility.

"Could it be that what we're seeing is fake?" I muttered to myself.

"What?"
