The fertilized ova were taken to the incubators where the Alphas and Betas were separated from the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. The Alphas and Betas were bottled, while the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons were taken through the Bokanovsky process. The Bokanovsky process was carried out to ensure that the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons adapted to their life roles in the society. The process prevented normal developments in the fertilized ova.

1. The first stage in the Bokanovsky process was exposing the ova to eight minutes of hard X-rays and allowing the ova to bud into four or eight buds.


2. The buds were returned to the incubators and allowed to continue with normal growth in the second stage.


3. Two days later, the buds were chilled and checked.


4. In the fourth stage, the buds were given room to continue budding.


5. In the fifth stage, the buds were doused in alcohol and allowed to continue budding.


6. In the sixth stage, the buds were allowed to grow normally having reached their optimum budding point.
