I believe we could aim for 1 chapter per 90-100 daysToo many previews, too little update status and ETA
If this was real life the easy answer would be that both test samples came from the same person, either from sabotage or mistake. But this is a novel so it'll be whatever the author want lol.How is Mallory Sarah?
There's an easy one word explanation for all that - "fiction"!I don't get it. How is Mallory Sarah? She can't be his mom because only 3 months older(then who tf is older Sarah), can't be his real sister because her and older Sarah's DNA match over 90%. The only possibility is cloning. How is that even possible for human?

We again thank all of our friends and patrons for your patience and support as we continue peeling back the layers on the MC's story!
She's not. she said she is Sarah's SISTER.How is Mallory Sarah?
Well they have mentioned a Crispr, which is a gene-editing tool. It was said that Mallory was the daughter of some addict so she probably "sold" her to be experimented on by her "father" who was obsessed with Sarah. So she wouldn't technically be a clone, but rather have had gene-splicing performed on her. It was an unsuccessful experiment, though, which may or may not have resulted in her heterochromia. When she didn't mimic the appearance of Sarah as she grew, her "father" started to abuse her and treat her as an unwanted pet because her phenotype and genotype were divergent. Dogs only get fed once a day, he said. There are some holes in this theory. Most specifically that Mallory remembers her mother intervening when her father tried to euthanize her. Who was the woman who she thought was her mother if her mother was some addict that was never in her life? These are questions that are probably going to be answered in the coming chapters.I don't get it. How is Mallory Sarah?

Hey, that's nice. You explained that really clearly.Well they have mentioned a Crispr, which is a gene-editing tool.

The teaser at the end of chapter 4 revealed that Mallory had a 99% match with Sarah's DNA.She's not. she said she is Sarah's SISTER.
I'm sure chemists feel the same way whenever some cop show has an investigator touch some Fentynal they find with their hand and then need to get rushed to the emergency room because they are having an overdose from that incidental contact. Or Lawyers when the actors are just losing their shit and screaming at the witness while the judge watches silently. Or soldiers when somebody steps on an old landmine that doesn't explode instantly and they are stuck with their foot on the stupid thing like they are playing twister.Guys as a computer person I want to share this simple "trick" hacker movies taught me. Whenever a fictional character explain something from your area of expertise, replace that explanation with "blabla" or "magic" and you'll suddenly be able to enjoy whatever you're reading.
Oh, that guy just said "dark web"? Let me just turn off my brain for a minute. It works quite well.
It's always amusing seeing reactions from professionals in the field that a work of fiction pulls from. There's a fantastic video of Dr. Becky reacting to the second episode of "The Expanse" where she's more focused on how the ships create artificial gravity rather than the plot of the story.I'm sure chemists feel the same way whenever some cop show has an investigator touch some Fentynal they find with their hand and then need to get rushed to the emergency room because they are having an overdose from that incidental contact.

I agree in most cases, but when I saw the moon attacking the earth in Moonfall I couldn't help but shout "Yeah! Take that, laws of physics!"It's always amusing seeing reactions from professionals in the field that a work of fiction pulls from.

In general, it's always fun to theorize how something might be possible in a fictional world during a second or third reading. However a story is way more enjoyable when I focus solely on the plot the first time around.
