"Did you tap into its heartbeat?" He asked.
"Yes…" JJ said, "It's heartbeat is kinda annoying… how can you stand listening to that bt-bt-bt sound all the time?"
"You'll get used to it," He chuckled, "The first time I heard Gutty's heartbeat, it nearly made me go insane. I felt like my head was exploding, but… you're doing well. There are like fifty animals around you, in the containers, and you don't seem overwhelmed."
"No, those heartbeats don't bother me," JJ added, "It's this creature… this Compy is what's bothering me."
"Well, you're basically gripping its heart with your powers," He added, "You're supposed to hear it better."
Jimmy then continued guiding JJ through the rest of the process. It was a unique experience. The more he spoke to him, the less weirded out he felt about this cloning business. He was basically talking to a clone of himself, but bit by bit, he stopped seeing JJ as his own clone, and saw him as an entirely different human being.
