After this incident, Riley is offered a job with the National Security Force. They take Riley to a top-secret science lab, where they have cloned an exact copy of the Torch from a sample of his DNA.

But before Replicant can be used effectively, he needs to be taught simple human behavior, such as speech and movement.
