Enter Ethan and Lily two ex lovers, The scene starts with both individuals exiting the clone machine both with their clone pair Separately. Lily is the first to be given the run down. Both Lily and her clone establish that they have no way to distinguish who is the original and who is the clone. In an all bluish white and grey minimalist room a robot machine explains how their new life will go. They will live in the same studio styled home and work jobs of their choosing. The most important step of the cloning that they need to complete each day is called The Sync. Because they are far removed from the cloned society the robot explains to them the beta software they will use to sync has to be done manually instead of automatically. Ethan is given the same explanation. Both have the characterization of being tired and heartbroken. They are eager to lose their identity and assimilate in the cloned society.

The World they live in is seperated by two Races. The original Human Race and the Cloned race varying from 100 different clones who had been selected for their brain before the Big banishing genocide to wipe away the useless working class and humans under the age of 8.This society is 250 decades in. The one perecent who are humans of natural inseminated birth are regarded as the Master race and Gods. While clones engage in meaningless lives geared towards Task driven lifes. Individuality and the standard family trope are non existent in this Society if you are not a part of the the original human race called Melondias.

First Half:

The first day they awkwardly carry out their jobs. Each of the four in different jobs. A gardener, a dentist, a grocery clerk, and a fisherman. During the first work day the gardener (lily) chips her tooth on the carrot she tried to eat. Prompted to visit the dentist, she meets Ethan. Both are shocked to see one another. Their emotions are out of place in the cloned society, however the clones are indifferent to them despite having new faces and emotions beyond their comprehension. After they both come to the conclusion that they escaped to this society to avoid the pain of their relationship, a plan to force Ethan back to the Melondria society begins as Lily races to the beta sync center in the lab to sabotage him so he can always remember the pain of their relationship. Lily takes one of her gardener tools and cuts one of the four wires attached to the technology unsure which Ethan she cut from syncing. She returns home. The other Ethan and Lily never meet and return to their housing unaware of their families day.

Second half:

• The first beta sync is highly anticipated because it is the sync that will connect the cloned societies years of knowledge and lack of emotions to them. However when the sync is done they do not feel any different. The robot is notified and comes to inspect what could have happened. They found one of the core wires had been tampered with. The wire that blocked the melondrias pre-societal memories from entering the cloned collective consciousness and would sync their memories flawlessly. They are stuck in a society with a collective who knows their entire life as if it were theirs, and has been introduced to the melondrias pain suffering and their happy memories which changed the way they remember their 200 plus year history.The clones know their location and rush in heaves to demand the reversal of the memories, not knowing how the clones set out to melondria to their Gods to demand answers and fixing. Lily who cut the wire is caught and as a result the other lily and both Ethan are sent for trial and testing in the melondria court.The lily who cut the wire and dentist Ethan are killed after a quick and unanimous vote. Stricken with panic the remaining lily and Ethan try to plead their innocence.

---------------------- The final act is held in a court room where Melondrias gather to see the verdict of the remaining couple. It is revealed that both Lilys and both Ethans were clones. It is revealed that the ancestors of the 100 people originally selected for the clone process where not victims of the genocide but perptutors.Both melondrians and clonedians hail from the3 same common ancestor, the only difference is melondrias got to be born, reproduce and die while living the human experience and clonedians stayed the same with their flawless genetic code. While both hailing from the superior dna, Lily and Ethan committed a grave sin which was kidnapping and housing a clonedian child to cope with their unborn child. The child who was 8 developed a dangerous awareness of self. The nameless child took to the streets and injured many melondrians as a form of justice to her race, not accepting or embracing the melondrians way of life. The child was quickly killed. Coincidently the fact that the child expressed such emotions made the melondrians aware of the threat and the need for separation and faux nonduality. The court reveals to Lily and Ethan, original Lily and Ethan defeated by yet another family failure were offered to die in exchange for their clonededian child to exist once more. They were killed by lethal injection with memories removed and when cloned they did not mention the child or the events but only the connection to one another. The cloned child who had been cloned a day before them was in the melondria city and witnesses the trial. After the court decided that their existence is cannot be rehabilitated they are sentenced to death too. The robot and there repair team reset the clonedians via bluetooth. Society seemingly has went back to normal. The ending scene is Ethan and lily’s clonedian child syncing her pain and memories of her parents to the rest of the clonedians with the beta unfixed sync machine. It is implied that it is SOOOO OVER for the melondrians.

-----------------------------------

Writing this plot was nice. I got to explore my creative side while also getting help and ideas from my team members that tied the plot all together. Multiple times I questioned how I would make my statement in this plot while also following the structure of its genre. The message was difficult to recreate in a story form in such a short amount of time. At the beginning (no pun intended) I had pictured a totally different direction with the script but as I began to think of the core concept of cloned consciousness and the privilege of having emotions and relationships i was reminded of the Book of Genesis from the christian bible. The biblical Adam and Eve inspired this story. Both christians and non christians find the story interesting. While some take it for face value others decode it as a metaphor. A particular perspective of the Adam and Eve story plays with the philosophical idea of free will, infinity and the definition of what is God and how can man exist? I took the concept that God was everyone/thing in the forest. Everything that was bound to happen did happen, even the banishment from heaven. God asked Adam and Eve “who told you that you were naked?” and many believe that awareness gained that separated them was a decision in and of itself. I wanted to take this concept and reverse it and apply it to a society where technology is advanced, and variety aims to be killed; however in a perfect world the littlest bit of awareness can destroy heaven. Towards the end I struggled with wrapping this plot up because I myself have not figured out a stance on whether this society is bad or not. The twist was going to be that they were all clones the whole time but i wasnt sure if i wanted to kill off the originals or have them be the people who implemented their awareness of suffering. I decided to combine both. Overall it was a fun plot to write and think of but definitely would need polishing if it were to be a real script.
