I walk into the lab.
A mentor passes me by on the way to my bench.
"You should look really closely at the plates you put in the incubator yesterday." She smiles.
My heart stops.
I run over to the square box, throw the door open...
And immediately notice the pale, translucent white dot.
A colony! Something, hopefully a successful clone, probably a mutant, has survived! It's the first time in six months.
The 1812 Overture played in my head for the rest of the day.

Congratulations - I assume they are in order. But why the 1812 Overture?
And why not the 1812? Apart from the danger of the cannons blowing the colony to bits.
P.S. Well done to you and your colonists. What's next Teenage Mutant Turtles?
The 1812 Overture because it sounds very triumphant (or the finale does, in any case). And there were literally fireworks going off in my head to celebrate this happy occasion!
Thank you very much! No, not mutant turtles, mutant chickens! Although... The turtles laid eggs not long ago, and they are scheduled to hatch sometime in June...
