In 2211, violence and disease in the world became the greatest problems in human history. That's when world leaders ordered their best scientists to come up with a solution. This one was the Uniforism. Scientists have created replicas of men and women by taking a citizen's DNA and putting it in the fetus. But when you're used for it, we never see you again. Every year, they create it differently, with a different person. The replicas are divided into three groups at the age of 17: The Arezones, the Mamenders and the Hoslers. Each group is used to help the human race. Mamenders help in the house and elderly people. The Arezones keep the streets without violence and rule the legal system. And then there are the Hoslers. These are the healers of the wounded. The ones that keep the rest of the humans alive. Replica S12 is one. When she and the other replicas were born, they were taught how to do all three, then, at 17, were diversified according to their strengths. Replicas work for 10 years before being removed to Dormitory. After being removed, created new replicas to replace them. S12 is part of the Samanthas, those who have brown hair and brown eyes. But 12 is different, she has green eyes, and a conscious. She can never tell anyone else or she'd be sent to Dormitory.

This is her sixth time at the hospital in a week. They received an urgent Call of an attack against the Arezones in the citizen area. There are several wounded. 5 citizens, 5 females and seven Arezone males. Since she was a Hosler, she could never get out of the Replica area, only the Arezones and the Mamendeurs.
"12S! We need you!" Screamed a Replica O male.
She runs to get her lab coat and a needle filled with TCRS, the tissue and cell regeneration serum. While running towards the room, another healer bumps against her, making her drop the serum. There's no time to go back. She enters and notices that the patient is covered in blood, he could die at any time. She also noticed that it was in much more pain than the replicas are allowed to show. 12 takes cloth and presses all her strength on his wound which looks to be caused by a gunshot. She's pushing it until someone comes in with a new serum. She injected him with it and the young man began to relax. His wound is starting to heal.
"Thank you" he said relieved
"That's my job! Could I have your name please? This is for the record." She asks.
"Yes, it's Trystan 4. And you?" he says curiously, which is odd for a replica.
"Why you ask?" she laughs, looking at him like he's crazy.
"I'd like to know the name of the person who saved my life."
A long time passed between them.
"Well, I'm Samantha 12." She's shaking his hand.
"Just a year older!" He's looking at her eyes.
"I thought the Sams had green eyes?
Sam's freezes, but realize something.
"Well, you have green eyes too."
"That's right!"
Both laugh at the same time and let out a big sigh.
"What is there? " As Sam sits on his bed.
"Do you ever think you're alone? Even if there's 25 people like you, you're not like them?"
She's trying to tell him her secret.
"I sometimes think I'm different from other ones. I can see things more clearly, feel things...
Me too! She cried, doing her stupid deed."
"Yeah. I knew that when you saved me. You didn't follow protocol. The other Hopscalers would have gone back for another needle without realizing I was going to die. You followed your instincts. A privilege that some are not granted."
"So this is our secret?" She says she's squeaking her teeth.
"Promised." He answers in pain.

One of her colleagues comes in to bring her supper.
"I'll come back tomorrow to see how you're doing." She says she's tired but happy.
Walking to the female Lodge, Sam thought T4. He was different like her. He had pain, curiosity, hope and even precaution. Since the replicas are working for 10 years, she just started her last decade alive. After that, poof! Unnecessary. Forgotten. Replaced. Copied. Replicated. She had friends in J who were only a year left before being sent to Dormitory, to be removed. If she doesn't do something, every innocent replica will be killed.

S12 returns the next morning and goes to see T4 in this room. She's examining his wound. He was asleep, half awake. Like he's having a nightmare.
"Hi Sam." He said as he exhaled and sat up.
"How are you today? Your wound?" She answered as she walked towards the bathroom. She takes a towel, the wet and the wrong.
"It hurts a little bit, but I think I'll be healed by..." he suddenly stops talking.
Sam was going to address him, but she hears the door break and a murmur of men on the other side of the wall.
"We found one! Tell us boy! Where's the girl?" He clutches Trystan's throat.
12 stays hidden in the bathroom.
"I didn't see her! But she told me she was going to see her friends!" He's lying to give her a chance. The guards pick him up and take him out of the hospital. They put it in a Currus and it will be transported to Dormitory.
