Chase was so fucking lucky he didn't just get knife thrown at his back just then - the acid balls now wasted on the floor, damn it - not least to see whether the effects applied outside the room.
"Number 42, huh?"
"The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything."
"You keep telling yourself that."
Jon sneered at his counterpart. "And you keep pretending that you're the real deal. Or not, considering this exciting twist in the tale."
The other clone wiggled his hands and feet pointedly. "Do have I have to point out to you, of all people, that I wouldn't stay here any longer than I absolutely had to?"
Jon drew a dagger and tested the point on his finger. "Oh, I'm near-convinced that you don't have a clue about all this, but those two 'doctors' through there have just found themselves a new project. Either way I still get to play."
And without guidance - Stevens didn't seem to mind that, at least - play he would. Aiming the dagger point-forward, Jon lined up the tip so that it would (should) stab the other guy's right hand. No point in excessive blood loss just yet, now was there? Too close to the wrist might be messy, but the pain should be fairly distracting if this 'kid' had any other tricks up his sleeve.
With his other hand, Jon examined the control panel he was leaning on. "So, how do you feel about adding magnetism to gravity?"
"What did they do, shake your test tube until it fizzed?"
