Orphan Black Classified Clone Reports

by Delphine Cormier

Subject: Re: surgery

  Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you, old chap, but I’ve been on a bit of R&R. And not the fun kind, I’m afraid.

  You see, I was in a bit of a dust-up recently. A lorry crashed into my Aston Martin and I’m afraid the lorry got the better end of it. I’m fine, mind you, but there was considerable damage to the ulnar nerve and wrist sheath in my right hand.

  I assume you can read between the lines, I’m afraid. While I’m still a doctor, and still tenured here at old Oxford, I’m afraid that my days as a surgeon are well behind me. A pity, really, as the surgery you propose sounds fascinating. I’d heard about these Neolutionist chappies, and I saw some of the early research on these—bots, did you call ‘em?—and was intrigued. But I never heard much about it afterward. Kept it all hush-hush, I suppose. Typical, really. It’s why I prefer to remain with academia. The politics are hell, of course, but at least everything’s out in the open. Still, the possibilities just boggle the mind. To be able to rewrite your own genetic code just by shoving a worm in your cheek. Great to live in the 21st century, eh?

  Who is this Sarah Manning woman when she’s at home, by the way? I understand why you’re helping her out—the resemblance to the lovely Ms. Duncan is quite significant. Speaking of, I’m afraid there’s not much joy there, either. I’d hoped that my old friend in Reykjavik might have some leads on where your Rachel wound up, but I’m afraid not.

  In any event, pip-pip, and good luck finding someone to remove that blighted object from poor Miss Manning’s cheek.

  Yours, etc.

  -Neolution bots in cheek can cure many ills–cured Cho of her lupus–but life-threatening to remove.

  -I managed it with Sarah, but was a close call, and we almost lost her.

  -Sarah’s self-destructive behavior can rear its ugly head

  -We all need to watch out for each other

  From the diary of Cosima Niehaus, Rabbit Hole Comics

  I am a freakin’ genius!

  Okay, not always. My stupid idea to put the bot in my cheek was, well, stupid, but Felix saved me from that by telling me that Delphine isn’t dead. One of our sisters, Krystal, saw her get shot and also saw her get taken away by a doctor. I don’t know where she is, but at least I know she’s alive.

  Which has given me hope.

  But more awesome? Okay, nothing’s more awesome than that, but close to that awesome? Is me.

  You see I finally figured out how to get a perfect original genetic line even though we don’t have Kendall: we take Castor sperm and fertilize a Leda egg. Since Helena’s AWOL, it means we have to harvest Sarah, but that’s a conversation I’m not looking forward to.

  Plus we’ll need a Castor clone, but Susan and Rachel have one on their island up north. So maybe we can access him somehow.

  Susan is fascinating. First of all, she’s alive, which means the fire that killed the Duncans didn’t actually kill either of them, which is pretty freaky.

  Second of all, I actually already met her. When Donnie and I infiltrated Brightborn, which is when I found out just how snakepitty that place was, we talked. Both before and after I saw a child born with horrendous defects.

  Before she was doing a wonderful job of bullshitting me, deflecting my questions about all the babies with dimples and asking about germline editing without actually answering those questions. Then I saw a baby being born with BP syndrome, orofacial clefts, ectodermal anomalies, and severe popliteal webbing—fancy medical terms that boil down to a bunch of genetic deformations.

  After that, she was more honest, calling Brightborn’s techniques brutal, which is the nice word for it, and trying to talk me into how awesome the Leda experiment is. All I know is, I’m dying, and it’s due to something she did to me and I can’t control.

  Anyhow, that’s all water that’s so far under the bridge it’s in the next county. Kendall’s dead, so Susan’s plan went out the window.

  So instead we go with mine. Did I mention I’m a genius?

  In order to do this right, though, I have to go to that island. Which could mean I never come back . . .

  From the diary of Dr. Susan Duncan

  Rachel tried to kill me.

  I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. Rachel was always a terrible disappointment to me and I was never good at hiding my disappointments. I was not a particularly good mother—Ethan always had a better knack for parenting than I—but still I never expected quite such behavior. Of course, it turns out that dear old Percival was responsible. He pushed her down that path.

  No, that’s not entirely fair. I pushed her down that path. Percival merely lit the way when it got a bit dark. What was a surprise was that I found myself incapable of shooting Rachel after that. Killing her would have been a blessing. A far more fitting punishment for her crimes is to saddle her with Percival. Let her be the wide-eyed acolyte who carries out his agenda.

  Let her be disappointed as I was to find out the monster he really is.

  Percival cured me, of course, because although Rachel will be a more pliable disciple, he requires an actual scientist who understands what he wants accomplished. That might be Cosima, it might even be Cormier or Van Lier, but it will never be Rachel. She’s a CEO, not a geneticist. I just hope I can steer Percival away from the worst of his excesses. It’s the only chance we all have.

  From the diary of Dr. Delphine Cormier, Revival

  I have my Cosima back!

  The day I have longed for has finally arrived. I did not imagine it would happen this soon. In truth, I did not imagine it would happen at all. And yet, she stumbled into Revival, nearly dead. I managed to revive her and now she has recovered. We are together again. She does not entirely trust me, but I will earn that trust back. For too long, I have tried to juggle conflicting agendas of people more powerful than I. However, the time I have spent here in Revival recovering from being shot has provided me with a certain clarity.

  I almost died. I thought I would never see Cosima again. But I am alive. And Cosima is here with me. And I swear by all that I hold dear that I will never be away from her again.

  From the diary of Cosima Neihaus, Revival

  So much has happened, I can barely process it.

  Let’s see, we start with where I am: Revival. It’s a village, believe it or not. I went from being in the middle of a high-tech lab to being in the middle of a nineteenth-century utopian community. Seriously, this feels like I died and woke up in Edward Bellamy’s wet dream. I got the grand tour from a girl whose name is actually Mud. She’s a sweet kid, but a little crazy.

  Everyone here is a little crazy. But the place is seriously self-sufficient, so yay crazy? Of course, the really crazy part is who runs the place.

  P.T. Westmorland.

  One hundred and seventy-year-old P.T. freakin’ Westmorland.

  Even freakier is Rachel. I thought the scariest sight in the world was Rachel when she let the other shoe drop and found out how badly she boned us, but that was before she met up with PTW. Now? She’s a true believer, his biggest acolyte, and drank-the-Kool-Aid enlightened Rachel is way way scarier than self-interested-and-screw-everyone-else Rachel.

  The only thing keeping me sane—and trust me, that’s a real relative term at this point—are Charlotte and Delphine. Charlotte’s been taking classes at the school they have and Delphine seems to be the country doctor here in Revival.

  I’m still having issues trusting Delphine. On the one hand, I feel kinda shitty about that. I mean, she got shot. On the other hand, how can I trust her after everything that’s happened? But we’re working on it and this place would be unbearable without her. Especially because of the really big thing. Okay, yeah, I buried the lede—but at least it’s not burying the Leda.

  We’re being cured.

  At least, that’s what it
looks like. We’ve still got a ways to go, and my life since I met Beth, Alison, Sarah, and the rest of the sestras has taught me that optimism is for suckers, but still, I’m guardedly hopeful that these latest treatments will do the trick for me and Charlotte both. And then, eventually, for all of us. If nothing else, before I was struggling for every breath and I felt like hammered shit, and now I don’t, so that’s better, right?

  It’s not all sweetness and light. Delphine and I also think we’ve isolated the gene that is the basis of the “fountain of youth” that PTW claims to have found and that he wants to bring to the world — and may be why Kira’s such a fast healing badass. LIN28A is a protein that works in stem cells to grow limbs and which disappears after infancy. If it doesn’t, it can cause cancer pretty much instantly. PTW has been experimenting with it for ages, and he went full Frankenstein on some poor bastard who’s turned into a proto-Sasquatch and was locked up in the basement for his whole life.

  I don’t know what’s going to happen next. But I’m doing everything I can to find out what’s really going on here. It’s looking like everything we’ve been throughz—well, since before we were born, really, started here with PTW and his crazy-ass science. I’m worried that tall, dark, and hairy man in the basement isn’t the only experiment gone wrong up here. But I am gonna find out the secret of that science. Or die trying. Dammit.

  WELCOME TO REVIVAL!

  On behalf of P.T. Westmorland and the rest of the folks here at revival, welcome! I’m Mud, and I’ll be your guide to everything you need to know about our little home, which has been self sufficient and off the grid since the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series!

  That’s right, Revival was formed by PTW (which is what we like to call him) as a refuge from a world that has become far too dependent on outside sources. Power, fuel, food—the average person can’t get any of it without a prearranged infrastructure. Here at Revival, we arrange our own infrastructure, thank you very much. We make our own power, we grow our own food—we grow fruit and vegetables, and we raise livestock—we have our own school, and best of all, we’re responsible for our own medical care.

  And that’s why we’re the awesomest place in the world! We’re working on science here that will change the world. Or at least change people’s worlds. And that’s what matters, am I right?

  So welcome everyone to the finest town on the planet, the home of Neolution!

  TRANSCRIPT OF VOICEMAIL MESSAGE LEFT FOR ALISON HENDRIX BY DONNIE HENDRIX

  Ali, it’s me. Look, I’m sorry. I know we’re not supposed to keep secrets from each other, but Helena made me promise, and she’s pregnant, and she killed Pouchy and his people and she’s scary, Ali! I mean, look, I know it got a little crazy there with Art and his creepy new partner threatening us, but I couldn’t let them find Helena and take her kids away. And yeah, okay, I was scared of what she’d do to me if I didn’t do what she asked. I’m sorry that you had to go to Rachel and I’m sorry that I lied to you and, and—I’m just sorry, okay? Call me back. Love you!

  Alison is ready to cooperate. I was shocked to find out she and her husband had Dr. Leekie and a missing Castor buried in their garage. I am displeased that this did not show up on our radar. It seems our little housewife is more dangerous than we had thought, but she is no longer a threat to our mission. Tell the police to stand down.

  - Rachel

  Delphine notes:

  Sarah found Revival village on island, encountered unknown creature and sustained minor injuries. She has been brought in from island by Rachel and a deal has been struck to give Rachel access to Kira, much to Sarah’s objection. Siobhan and I encouraged her to take the deal and lay low while we figure out how the scope of Neolution and destroy the organization for good.

  NEOLUTION BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

  1. Hashem al-Khatib

  5. Dmitri Matakiev SUICIDE

  6. Seong Pak SUICIDE, FOUND HANGED IN OFFICE

  9. Lucia Zerrelli SUICIDE

  • -We are trying to figure out what this all means, follow the money. Dyad has shell corporations and companies all over the map.

  • -If we can find out who is controlling it and where it’s being funneled we will be closer to shutting them down.

  • -Bribes have connected Hashem Al-Khatib to Neolution.

  • -Multi-national investigation launched into Dyad, all research and financial activities are suspended. Al-Khatib still at large.

  TO: Security Personnel

  FROM: Rachel Duncan

  SUBJECT: Siobhan Sadler

  We must keep Sadler’s house under surveillance. While Sarah has agreed verbally to allowing me to take Kira some days and run tests on her, I do not trust her in the least. It is a question of when she tries to go back on her word, not if. She is not rational when it comes to the child—or much else, truth be told. And when it happens, it will happen at Sadler’s home. Report anything suspicious to me immediately.

  -Coady has been rescued by PTW and brought to Revival.

  -Her recklessness with human lives will only make bad situation worse, and PTW’s attempt to make her and Susan Duncan work together ended badly with the deaths of Susan and Ira.

  WTF? She put straws in her head and her hair falls out? What’s that about? Maybe she’s just stupid or maybe the straws got caught on her hair or MAYBE THIS VLOG IS JUST STUPID.

  I’m guessing that those s

  Honey, I’m home!

  I gotta say, I was pretty sure that I’d never get away from Revival. Never get off that island. Never see my sestras again. Well, except Rachel. Seen plenty of her. And I guess Charlotte counts as a sestra, too, though I think of her more as a niece. Still, she’s part of our one big happy clone family.
