sound too impressive until you consider that while getting that degree he was in his mid twenties, had a wife and two children, two mortgages, and a full time job, then it takes on a whole new meaning.  He started out wanting to be a Chemistry major but ended up switching it to an Electronics Engineering Major and so he spent six years in College to reach his goal.
    Linsey knew a lot of career Moms and realized from her short time in that mode that it was rough on a family and it made her appreciate her situation even more.  She had worked at two different jobs while Dodge finished his education and decided during that time that her desire was to be a full time Mother and Homemaker.  Dodge went through several employers after graduation before he finally landed the position that he really wanted at Embedded Systems Specialist.  It was a rather small company when he hired on but it grew rapidly due to their timely involvement with Integrated Biotech. 
    ESS acquired a long term contract to provide all of Biotech’s Engineering Support for LifeTech, a company they bought out.  LifeTech was the company that had developed the technology responsible for saving his son’s life.  They were also the original government contractors that successfully created the first clone with enough documented memory transfer to prove the technology was feasible.  That first successful clone was the man that appeared on the Harry Letterman show as a guest all those years later. 
    After ninety-six attempts the government had finally succeeded in producing this one man with half way decent results.  All the prior clones were euthanized after complete failure to load.  In the beginning they conducted brain transplants to make the clones complete.  It worked but they lost all of them to infections or to scar tissue that
    formed over a period of months.  The scar tissue resulted in a condition similar to Alzheimer's.
      After the first successful clone they released every stitch of their documentation to the private sector under heavy security procedures in order to privatize and hopefully perfect the process.  That is how ESS got involved, they threw their hat in the ring and in the end they succeeded where others had failed. 
    Not many people knew about the deal between ESS and LifeTech.  All parties had kept the whole thing very tightly guarded to protect their trade secrets and the high-tech systems that enabled their one of kind system to work. 
    Others had tried and failed and only produced zombies instead of clones which resulted in huge lawsuits filed by the families of the victims.  The companies folded due to the financial disasters that it created for each of them.  A short time later LifeTech secretly approached Integrated Biotech offering them a huge buyout which they immediately accepted to avoid a similar fate.  When the acquisition was complete, they used their newly injected capital to buy up the remnants of all the prior cloning companies that had popped up and failed. 
    Under the veil of the new shell corporation they had created they brought all the technology together from the various failed companies and brought all the best minds together into one group.  They unloaded the dead weight of lower level tech people plus anyone who even remotely resembled a security risk.  As soon as they got it down to a small core of all the best brains they brought everyone in for a briefing and demanded that everyone sign off on the tightest, most comprehensive, non compete non disclosure agreement any of them had ever seen. 
    It guaranteed each employee receiving one hundred million dollars upon retirement should they make it without violating the agreement.  Anyone who did violate the agreement would be fired, dissociated, and destroyed in the industry to the point that they could never work again in that field, period.
    These guys were serious about keeping all of this under wraps and would do just about anything to
