Regardless, the players all find it difficult to concentrate at the moment. The now-familiar sense of dissonance is back, and for most they find their focus is even more divided than before. By habit everyone checks the doors, but nothing is displayed on them this time, and anyway just a few moments later they all open at once without any input from the players. The restraints then come undone, and everyone struggles to their feet to head through the doors and see what's going on. Marley is having to focus so much just on moving that, for the moment, he has to leave his loot behind.
The sound of maps printing can be heard, and everyone automatically reaches for them. However, their minds are elsewhere, trying to comprehend what they're seeing.
[Map: http://i.imgur.com/gb7xI0E.png]
The players (bar Turbo) find themselves staring at... themselves. And themselves. There are three identical cylindrical sections in the room, each housing an elevator, and the players find that they are in each one of them simultaneously, looking out at other versions of themselves while those versions look back at them. Turbo is the one exception, who only finds himself in the 'top' and 'bottom-right' elevators; he is otherwise experiencing much the same phenomenon.
Everyone tries to step into the room in earnest, and find that they can independently make each version of themselves do so. This is just like what they'd experienced in the elevators previously, though on a larger and more confusing scale. Turbo, able to concentrate a little easier due to only having two 'versions' of himself, has both of his copies run up to each other and shake hands, trying to comprehend what's really happening. The handshake goes just fine. He finds that he really is just in two places at once simultaneously.
From their multiple viewpoints, the players quickly get an overview of the room. The walls are lined with large glass cylinders, and in the middle of the room are three large control stations, each with some number of monitors lit up brightly in the secondary colours. In one corner of the room is a walled off rectangular section, with a single door allowing access. It is locked, and there are three lights in a column next to it, matching the three colours of the monitors.
Soon a new voice speaks up. She sounds like the youngest of the Admins so far, but is still over 50 most likely. Her tone is kind and a little concerned, a stark contrast to most other Admins. "Everyone, it's good that you've made it this far. You're almost at the end." Admin #7 says. "Um, but, I should explain what you're all experiencing right now. Zero called it 'Replicate Control'. I... don't really understand the theory, but... um, so, this is the Cloning Lab. You were all cloned here. And, well, something about Morphogenetic Field Theory means you're able to control all of the clones at once." From the way she's saying it, it doesn't seem as though Admin #7 quite realises the sudden craziness of what she's revealing to the players. "You'll need to make use of it to open the door to escape. I won't keep you any longer, but please do ask me questions if you have any! Though I can't really answer much..."
The players look to each other, and themselves, in shock and plain confusion. Still, it's been made clear what they need to do. It seems as though this may be the final room. Everyone begins to explore in earnest.

"Well..." Marley let's out a slow breath before giving the clean version of himself who showered last time a glare. Presumably the clone glares back at him.
"You'd be Fauna by mah reckonin' so are we all clones of you guys and ye are the originals?" He asked.

All three Marleys drew cigarettes and lit them up "Firstly #1 is da one ah was based on right? Why's 'e coming back instead of..." Marley thought for a bit "Whoever Jack was based on."
He idly wandered over to the desk on the left side of the room to examine it.

The work station on the left has various complicated-looking equipment on it, none of which Marley or any of the other players understand. The two lit-up monitors are clearly of interest though, and when examined Marley sees that both screens are displaying puzzles. However, the instructions are undecipherable, looking like a block of random small scribbles and nothing more.

"Anyway.. I'll go check the desk on the right side of the room." Jen walks over to said desk to examine it.

The right workstation is very much like the left. Equipment nobody understands, and puzzles with instructions no-one can read.

Clean Marley grinned and rubbed his beard proudly.
Marley rolled his eyes and snatched the hat off of the other Marley "Gimme dat!" He sighed stuffing it in his pocket.
Hatless Marley was shocked for a second before grinning "Aye...easy ta tell us apart now." He said giving the other two a thumbs up.
"Yer a mighty kind woman explaining this all ta us," Clean Marley said, swelling with a most unusual sort of pride that his counterpart was considered a senior admin.
"Aye that's the truth," Marley said in agreement "That said do you know what happened ta admin Zero? Was told there was a benefit ta killing off Zero but honestly ah've kinda missed his guidance."
The was a grunt of frustration from Hatless Marley who was looking at the left desk with its incomprehensible instructions "Ye don't happen to know 'ow dis works do ye?" He asked

"Erm, as for the monitors, you need to use your clones to figure it out. This room was designed to stress-test Replicate Control, so all the puzzles you need to solve relate to that."

"If we're c-clones, then... What happened to our 'originals'? Why do w-we have their memories?" Another one asked.
The third Trinity was looking at some of the cylinders on the walls.

Clean Marley smiled slightly "For a crazy old man Danny had some sense of honour ah guess. Not lettin' the kid tak tha fall for him."
Hatless Marley continued to frown away at the control panel "Right you two dips**ts should get over to those other consoles." He barked as the three Marleys moved to the other consoles.
"How did Daniel convince all of the original versions of us ta go along with dis anyway?" He asked Amber "Can't imagine we's all too friendly If'n he did kidnap the original us."

"Unless we had a very clear and big motive, like world salvation or something, I doubt we would've actually gone with Zero's crazy plan of kidnapping us." One of the other Jens stated following the previous statement.
"If you think about it, memory wiping doesn't strike me as impossible considering all the futuristic things here, like the cloning machines." The third Jen said, ending the chain of statements.

Trinity finds that the glass tanks are filled with some kind of liquid. There are monitors on each one, though they're not currently active. Looking around the room, there are 27 tanks in total - presumably these were involved in the cloning process somehow.
Meanwhile Marley continues to talk to himself as he navigates his three bodies to each of the work stations. Lining up by each of the magenta monitors, he looks at all three simultaneously. He finds that the garbled text on each screen lines up to form coherent instructions when all viewed together, allowing the puzzle to be solved. Furthermore, each of the three screens displays a different part of the puzzle - by the looks of it, the clones need to work together as one in order to solve it.
[Magenta puzzle: http://i.imgur.com/18UObqH.png]
[Instructions: "The set of 12 pentonimos must be placed on the two numbered grids, 6 per grid, such that no pentonimo touches another, even diagonally. The numbers on the sides indicate how many cells are taken up by pentonimos in the corresponding row or column. The shaded grid indicates in grey which cells of either (or both) grid must contain a pentonimo; unshaded cells cannot contain a pentonomo."

[Instructions: "Draw a path through both grids, moving only horizontally and vertically through cells. The ends of each path (•) and some sections of path (- - - - -) have been given.
The two grids are constructed from the same set of shapes, but shapes may be rotated and/or reflected between grids. The path through each shape must be identical in each grid. Paths must go through each shape exactly once. No path can cross itself."]

[Cyan puzzle: http://i.imgur.com/TModXet.png]
[Instructions: "For each grid, insert a digit from 1 to 6 into each cell so that no digit repeats in any row or column. Each number in the grid represents the height of a "building" and the clues on the outside of the grid indicate how many buildings can be “seen” when looking from that direction. Taller buildings block the view of smaller buildings. For example, if a row contained the numbers 15342, then two buildings are seen from the left – 1 and 5 – and three buildings from the right – 2, 4, and 5 – with the other buildings blocked by taller buildings in front of them. Additionally, the totals of the cells in the same positions on both grids must always add up to 7."]
