 A scientific researcher works harder than her colleagues, and is rewarded by a successful result from one of her late-night endeavors. She successfully clones herself into another scientist. At first, everything seems to go well, as her creation is passed off on her colleagues as the genuine article. However, when the new arrival begins to exhibit signs of memories which were not implanted and a marked degree of social adroitness that her creator so obviously lacks, the original begins to question the need for the replica.
