Zoe Human Resources Office, meet colleagues

Nurse Zoe: Follow us, we'll take you to the team you'll be part of.

The two nurse Zoes led Zoe (ID: 18643) through the facility's medical pavilion. There wasn't a large presence of staff and patients, but you could still see several dozen Zoes as patients.

Nurse Zoe2: Don't worry, every Zoe takes care of herself. The Zoes hosted here either suffer from common illnesses or need to spend some time in the spa to recover from work-related stress.

Zoe (ID: 18643): A spa? In here? It seems like a waste.

Nurse Zoe: The low medical need had created efficiency problems. Personally, I prefer therapeutic massages to feeding us with the flu.

Zoe (ID: 18643): Is that your whole ambition, giving massages?

Nurse Zoe: Oh no, the job at the pavilion is only part-time, and it's also quite useful for meeting Zoe in more settings. It's just a matter of time before I get a great recommendation for the floor manager role.

Nurse Zoe2: Cough, cough.

Nurse Zoe: We'll have our recommendations, too... but don't think we've honed our massage skills for you; compared to us, you're just a new intern.

Zoe (ID: 18643) as she walked saw a window and looked out, New Delhi seen from above, she was in a skyscraper, several hundred meters higher than any human being other than Zoe, the view wasn't bad, she felt proud of her work... not of the work of the original, the CEO and yet she could remember how she had studied the architects' proposals for the construction, the negotiations to purchase the land, the eviction processes of the former residents, the demolitions of the ruins that the Indians called home to make room for the building.

The skyscraper was effectively a city suspended above the city, practically independent of everything and everyone. She could feel proud of all the CEO's hard work. Zoe (ID: 18643) was called by the two Zoe nurses, who were pointing to the entrance of a meeting room with a sign saying "Meeting new resources."

Zoe (ID: 18643) followed the door and saw five other Zoes. Two were nurses like her companions, two were wearing identical uniforms, and the last was wearing a similar dress, slightly more elegant but at the same time less sober, which highlighted her cleavage. Her badge read: Zoe 13289 resources Zoe.

Zoe (ID: 13289): Welcome, we're all with you, medical staff, you can go.

The four Zoe nurses left. Zoe (ID: 18643) couldn't help but hear some chatter among them as they left, teasing about how the two nurses who had accompanied her were close to each other. Zoe (ID:18643) already suspected it, although the idea of ​​relationships between Zoe still seemed strange to her, even if it was an opportunity. We went back to focusing on the meeting. The other two new Zoes who had arrived had IDs 18641 and 18642, so they were definitely newly born like her. She had no intention of treating them as her superiors by "seniority," which in any case would be minutes at most. She could see the same calculating look in their eyes as when she looked at herself in the mirror. Zoe: (id 13289) seemed more relaxed in their presence and began to explain their role. Their division would be responsible for eliminating problems customers encountered with their products, whether by proposing a product modification at the hardware or software level. After all, Zoe Industries was a technology company with a wide variety of products, from next-generation computers to futuristic appliances. None of them would work on original projects. They would be a team of three Zoes, occasionally supervised by a division coordinator. Zoe: (id 13289) I try to push them to familiarize themselves with their roles before trying to impress their superiors.

Zoe (ID:18643) thought it was a waste of time. After all, the original was capable of designing a product from scratch, and she and every clone could do the same. Fixing problems? She was willing to bet that the issues in question would be silly; perhaps even the proposed changes might not be implemented due to the additional costs and would only be considered for next-generation products. It's a pretty boring job. She wasn't surprised they wanted to give her the runaround by throwing this kind of task at her. If she had subordinates, she'd do the same.

Zoe (id: 18641) and Zoe (id: 18642) showed the same emotions as her: frustration at the boring task.

Zoe: (id 13289): Don't make those faces, you're lucky. The last group of new Zoes were hired as cleaners after the non-Zoes were laid off 6 months ago. In that regard, they're pretty aggressive about abandoning the position. Watch your backs or you might find yourself replaced.

All three new Zoes grimaced in disgust. Seriously, cleaning? It was a complete waste of their talents.

Zoe (ID 13289): Unfortunately, it seems many locals consider cloning unnatural, while others are just thinking with their wits, believing they have a chance with us. They were all too willing to disturb the staff, and accidents occurred. The CEO eventually decided to remove non-Zoe staff from the company. So unless you happen upon some big client or investor visiting, you'll never see anyone but Zoe.

Zoe (ID:18643) nodded, followed closely by the others a second behind, which secretly filled her with a sense of superiority.

Zoe (id 13289): These documents I'm giving you contain the location of your accommodations. You'll be living in three single rooms and adjoining rooms. Please note that everything is as per the original plans... except for the single beds, which have been replaced with double beds.

Zoe (id:18642) I raise my hand.

Zoe (id:13289): Yes, number 18642?

Zoe (id:18642): Why? Beds that big are expensive, the single beds were adequate for the plans.

Zoe (id:13289): Oh right, over time, many of the Zoes have discovered a certain affinity and have begun romantic relationships. The company isn't opposed to this as long as it doesn't compromise your performance at work. Many of us also try to use sex as a tool for career advancement, which I personally advise against.

Zoe (ID:18643) noticed the different way the resource person, Zoe, explained things to the two nurses who had accompanied her. Then, bosses, the resource people, Zoe, were responsible for transfers and complaints. They probably preferred the Zoes not to have relationships with each other purely to reduce their workload. It was understandable, but it wouldn't have stopped her.

Zoe (id:18642) gave a shoked look at the admission of the Zoes fraternizing in bed, before switching to a calculating smile.

Zoe (id:18643) thought it was completely obvious what she was thinking. I locked eyes with Zoe (id:18641). She didn't seem surprised, probably because she had already found out from her nurse. She winked, probably to test the waters. Zoe (id:18643) smiled back. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to test her sexual skills on a peer with a view to using them on one of her superiors.

Zoe (id 13289) sighed, realizing she hadn't been able to dissuade yet another group of clones from causing her trouble.

Zoe (id 13289): That's all, the rest of the day is yours. I don't think you need any guidance. Tomorrow, please reach your station as directed by the documents. Have a good day.
