The priorities of Vincent's project list kept getting switched around since he regularly came up with new things he needed to make before he could implement his plans. It was becoming rather frustrating, honestly.
Doing all of this by himself was incredibly time consuming but no one else was as smart as him and anyone who came somewhat close wasn't trustworthy. Maya could design beach resort type setups for all of his other islands and eventually design his new technological paradise for the select few as well but she couldn't help with the robotics.
Too bad he didn't know how to clone himself. He could use about a dozen more Vincent Carlisles. Real, thinking ones rather than mechanical copies.
Maybe he should have become a geneticist instead. Though without the right technology, it wouldn't be possible anyway. Comic books talked about making clones all the time without going into much detail about how it was done. He could use some real science here!
