Another involuntary clone happens

Now you yourself clone in two, which also fortunately happens while Stacy is shaking hands with 'Allie'. Your new clone tries to sneak away, but the loud clacking of her heels gives her off. Stacy turns to look, and mistakes her for 'Tammie'.

Stacy: "Oh you're back. Didn't they have apple fritters?"

Sophie 5: "Nah, and I'm not settling for replacement confectionaries."

Sophie 3 looks back at your table and sees to her horror that there are now three Sophies there. She decides to quickly sneak off from the food court entirely. Meanwhile, Sophie 5 takes a seat. The situation is getting tense - one of you could duplicate at any moment and blow your cover.

Stacy: "So Allie, tell me a bit about yourself."

Sophie 4: "Well, what can I tell you. I work as stock broker in New York, though that's really kind of a glorified title these days. The actual trading is done by automated systems which work much faster than humanly possible, but I program and maintain those systems. It's not as cool as they make it seem to be in Hollywood, but it brings in big bucks."

Stacy: "You don't say. You know I've got an uncle in New York who dabbled with stock markets in the 90's, I'm sure you two would have a lot to talk about."

Sophie 4: "You'd think so, but stock trading really isn't the same job as it was back then, and us in the business world, well... we're not really nostalgia-oriented. Stuff that worked before can't really be applied to current strategies, because the meta has shifted so much. Just the amount of regulations these days makes it a whole different world."

As Sophie 4 is ranting, Sophie 1 duplicates again. This clone quickly takes off her shoes and runs off from the scene. By now, the deli staff have begun to notice that something very strange is going on.

As this new Sophie 6 is about to make it off, her phone goes off. In fact, all of your phones go off simultaneously, as they are all the same phone. Stacy freezes in place, unsure of what to think.

Then, Sophie 5, who was sitting directly opposite to Stacy, duplicates in front of her eyes. The realization strikes her.

Stacy: "AAAAAARGH! Doppelgängers! Monstrosities! Alien replicants from beyond the Moon!"

She runs off in panic, shoving Sophie 6 onto the floor, now thinking that the whole company is infested with your clones. You sigh, and decide to just answer your phone. The caller is Sophie 2, who is still at your home.

Sophie 1: "Yello?"

Sophie 2: "Yea hi. You asked whether I've noticed any new replicants around here? There's a few."

Sophie 1: "How many is 'a few'?"

Sophie 2: "Like a dozen."

Sophie 1: "Fuck me sideways. Alright we're gonna have to figure something out."

However, you don't have the time to convene and connive, as Stacy returns soon after, armed with a shotgun. You only have about a second to react.
