~story as told by Joss
our whole story starts...so long ago. actually...i intend 2 tell it in 4 parts. this is part 1...it's sorda a prolog 2 the big middle but just as needed 4 our story 2 make any sense at all. i suppose u could say we weren't born 0on this side of the gate...we're not from this world, we were born of another. every coin has 2 sides...and every cloud can b dark and gray. we came from the place where the energy 4 the alchemy we use here comes from.
let's start from the beginning, shall we? such an odd...odd story...and most of you won't believe it. but 2 those few who will, i say thank u...and now u understand. to those who won't or can't, i'd feel lucky...because sometimes ignorance is better.
now, shall we start? ok, on the other side of the gate we were doctors...scientists...and some of the top. we were working in the field of growing human body parts. mostly organs and limbs. we were also studying how 2 preserve them.
science and technology, there, replaces alchemy from here. altho...at 1 time alchemy was thought 2 work on that side. however, the idea was abandon after many failed attempts but it's always fascinated us and, 4 some1 artistic like me, sparked my imagination. i was in a constant state of sketching circles and symbols when i was little and it was the 1st science that ever caught me. u might say it was my intro and my inspiration. it's also y i chose the path i did...because it was like alchemy in a way only it's expanding skin and growing cells instead of transmutation. but creating a function from something living...it was such a good feeling even if it couldn't b alive without being attached 2 something already living. i actually met Cylon (at the time, Professor Camren) when she was working in the lab as an assistant of mine and i soon found out we had an awful lot in common. we were both fascinated with alchemy and we both started working in our field because of it.
perhaps...it was this constant obsession that ended us here...on this side. Something happened, that's 4 sure...we were killed after we found out that it is, in fact, possible 2 make what they call on that side “Test Tube Babies” or “Designer Babies.” Babies with manipulated gene structures so that everything from gender 2 skin tone is as the parents want it. A little baby girl with pale skin, blue eyes, red hair...no problem. We could do it...and it's what got us killed by some purest who thought we were playing God...and I suppose, in a way, we were. We had also grown complete organs for transplants and made enough skin 2 cover a full grown human male who had burns on 95% of his body...but apparently this person who killed us just sorda...4got...about all the good we'd done...because the only thing we couldn't grow is bone...and we almost had that. If we'd had a few more years that, 2, would have been possible. It was nearly finished.....and then it was taken from us....or so we thought.
The murderer...only killed our bodies which we gladly gave up because our minds and souls were still in tact. They were rushed thro a blackness...filled with images we wouldn't have understood if it weren't 4 our childhood obsession...
suddenly we were placed in foreign bodies...b4 they were born and b4 they had a soul attached 2 them...we were sisters, which is about how close we'd grown thro the years of researching 2gether. We were born...in2 this world...on this side of the gate...in2 a world where our obsession was tru...and the only science...and replaced most technology...and we understood what our world was fueling finally...after all these years...
