*is chanting* I do not own Trigun. I do not own Trigun. I do not own Trigun. *screams* WHY NOT!!!!??? Because I wasn't the one who thought of it, only this fic and the charrys I create. And my doctor said I should say "I do not own Trigun" at least 100 times a day.^^. And I'm sorry to everyone who came to this fic before, I was going to fixed it but ff.net had to go in meltdown mode on me. *whacks FF.net with her softball bat* And now its fixed and this is the completed version of what I put up in the beginning. Please R & R! Key: "a": speaking a: thinking ____________________________________________________

Prologue

A couple walked though the desert, fighing against the wind and the sand that it blew. The woman held close a baby that was fast asleep from its crying. They were forced to move from the last town that they lived in because they couldn't pay for their bills and they weren't about to give up their only daughter and child if they were to go into jail.

The man leaned close to his wife. "We have to find shelter."

She nodded. "I know."

Through the blowing sands, the man saw a building up ahead. He pointed it out to his wife and trudgingly, they reached the buildling. The door was locked and it didn't seem that no one was there. They leaned against the door and tried to shield themselves from the wind.

"I'm starving and the baby's going to starve too if we don't find anything to eat," the woman stated.

Her husband rubbed her back comfortingly. "I know, dear. I know. Maybe we should try to get some rest now that we are out of the winds."

She sighed. "Alright."

They huddled together and kept the baby covered from the sands. They fell asleep near each other and during their sleep, they sufficated and died from the sands. The baby was still safe under the covers.

After the storm was over, a scientist pulled up to the building and walked up to see the couple against the door. The scientist leaned close to the couple and saw that they were dead. When he pulled back he heard a soft groan and then the crying of a child. Startled, he looked at the couple until he saw movement under a blanket that the woman was holding.

Carefully, he took the blanket off to reveil a baby in the woman's arms. The baby was crying and kicking about. He gently picked the baby. It was a girl with brilliant blue eyes and brownish-red hair. He smiled to himself more than to the baby.

She'll make a perfect specimen for our project. With that thought, he entered the building, leaving the dead couple outside.

"How's the set-up coming on?" Dr. Locheski asked the people around him.

"Alteration capsule's ready, we just need the specimen and the DNA samples," one of the doctors called out.

"What about the specimen?"

One of the helpers come out then, holding the child in her arms. "Fast asleep, and ready for preparations."

Dr. Locheski nodded. "Alright, let's get started."

He walked over to a cabinet and chose three different DNA samples. All were in a clear cylinder and had a green goey liquid inside. This were the DNA samples. Each one was labeled what DNA was in it. One had 'poisonous desert spider,' another 'sand tiger,' and the third had 'plant' on it. The plant DNA is from the bulb-like structure that was in a nearby town. The scientists knew that there was something alive in the bulb, and were especially surprised that they were able to get a DNA sample of it. The doctor took the cylinders and placed them in the slots right above the alteration capsule.

The other doctors were quickly preparing the specimen, the baby, for the experiment. The baby was going to be placed in the capsule with various tubes that go into the body, one of them even at the base of the skull for the brain. They had to be very careful, one slip and it would cost them the whole experiment, maybe even the life of the baby. Once the baby was placed in the capsule, they would fill it with a protein nutrient liquid that would be able to keep the child healthy and help it with the alterations, if any happen.

The doctors worked together to put the sleeping child into the capsule. The child was so small compared to the capsule, but it would need room to grow while its in the capsule. After the hook-ups between the child's tubes and the DNA samples were secure, someone pressed a button allowing a glass cover to seal and a purplish-blue liquid filled the capsule and surrounded the child.

Dr. Locheski peered through the glass as it finished filling up. "Six months," he said. "Six months and we'll see if DNA atleration can be done to humans."
