Once a person enters the Rebirth program their DNA is duplicated to create clones. Then the persons consciousness is duplicated and uploaded to the system. Clones are rapidly matured and held in biotubes. In rushed situations a batch of clones can be matured in about 1 - 2 months. Regular mature rate is generally 6 months. Once the clones have matured to the age the host was when they copied their DNA their progression stops and they are stored in the same biotubes they were grown in. Clones can be stored for many years without an kind of degradation. Muscle tone and weight are not affected for stored clones.

When an incoming signal of a clone being needed for the host's consciousness a clone is immediately prepped for the Rebirth. It is also common to have one or more pre-prepped clones. The prepping process includes moving the clone to a Rebirth tube, [Similar to a biotube. In moments of emergencies biotubes can be used.] dressing them in a full body skin tight black suit, and hooking them up to the Rebirthing equipment.

Rebirth tubes are very similar to the biotubes that the clones are grown in. Rebirth tubes are located in a private download rooms and have all the downloading equipment built into them. They are also more shallow, allowing the newly downloaded host to stand without being fully submersed. Both biotubes and Rebirth tubes are filled with a liquid substance designed to oxygenate, sustain, and nourish the clone body. Many prefer to clean off the substance immediately after they download but there is no harm by allowing it to dry.

The main part of the downloading equipment is located in the large head piece. It slips over a clones head like a helmet and can easily be removed once downloaded. [Memory flash backs may be experienced in the final part of download. ]

Depending on the download station the size of the Rebirth room may vary. Generally there is at least enough space for the host to dry off and dress. On larger bases, and for more influential or high ranking hosts, there is often full sized rooms including furniture, a selection of clothing, and even personal belongings.
