"Ari's set is positive," the voice from the lab informed Giraud Nye, and he drew a long breath of relief.
"That's wonderful," he said. "That's really wonderful. How are the other two?"
"Both positive. We've got a take on all three in all the tanks."
"Wonderful."
Schwartz signed off. Giraud Nye leaned back with a sigh.
There were nine womb-tanks active on the Rubin project. Triple redundancy on each of the subjects, over Strassen's loud complaints. It was rare that Reseune ran any backups at all on a CIT replication; if a set failed to implant or had some problem, the restart just put it a few weeks late, that was all, and the recipient could wait, unless the recipient wanted to pay double the already astronomical cost to have a backup. In the case of a contracted run of azi sets, or somebody's project, the normal rule was one spare for every pair, the spares to be voided after six weeks.
This one was going to tie up nine tanks for three weeks, and six for six weeks, before they made a final selection and voided the last backups.
Reseune was taking no chances.
