To prevent the clones to leave unexpectedly the Supervisor created all plants and animals with a little genetic addition:
They all produced a drug that caused the user to be happy, and unable to feel the need to go outside the biosphere, it also surpressed a few other brain functions which would have made them again the dangerous race they were.

He knew it was not a nice thing to do, but the only way to form them they way he wants them to become: More peaceful and loyal to the alliance seven tribes as the orignals.

Knowing this would take a while and the clones would be old and die before they were finished he provided them with a renewing medicine, disguised as a well in the center of the biosphere.
It took care they only aged very slowly, their life would extend to more as 1000 solar cycles from around 100 under normal circumstances
Due to the nature of the medicine it also had an effect on following generations, which would live each generation a bit shorter until there was no medicine left in the bodies anymore.

He also implemented a test:
One tree had a fruit which was the antidote for the ‘happiness drug’.
He told them it was forbidden to eat from this tree, and that terrible things would happen to them when they ate from it.

He planned to destroy them if they failed the test as it would mean their natural curiosity and independance would override the drugs and training he gave them.
In that case he had to start all over again.
He would hate to do that as he started to like the fragile creatures.

One day one of his favorite officers sneaked into the biosphere located near the three rivers.
He was officer of the police force and acted as prosecutor, in this case he wanted to try out the loyalty of the creatures.
He managed to talk the female into eating the fruit, she believed him when he told her it was a lie that the fruit was bad for them.
She liked the taste of the juicy fruit and convinced the male to eat it as well.
A short while later the antidote started to work and the brains came fully back to life.

The already programmed values came into action as well as the basic behavior of the original of the clones.
It made them cover themselves as they did not feel comfortable without any clothes.
When the supervisor visited the sphere during his afternoon break he could not find them.
Using the tracking devices he finally found them, hidden behind some bushes.
When he asked what they were doing there they answered they were hiding for him because they did not want him to see them naked.

Disappointed as he was that they failede the test he sent them away, out of the biosphere into the open world.
He could not destroy them, for this he loved them too much.
But he did forbid the access to the life prolonging medicine and told them to leave and reproduce.
And never to come back.
He did the same at the other biospheres as he knew they would also fail the tests there.
He also placed some guards of his elite regiments at the biosphere doors to prevent they would return.
The officer who made them eat the fruit was degraded, for acting without orders, but since it was his work to find weak spots he was not banned.

He had other plans with him.

But that will be in the next part
