Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum!
The song was playing through Alhazad's mind as he examined his new test subject, and it was annoying
the hell out of him. Despite that, he was ecstatic. Bio-energy pathways traced through the subject, and
the reserves that powered them were impressive. He'd never seen a human that used bio-energy before, so
the readings he got from the girl, or rather boy, was shiny and new! That was the other thing that had
him so excited. There was active transmogrification magic in them thar hills!! It would have to be
brought under control though.

It had been a week since he'd acquired his new toy, and the experiments could start soon. He'd
downloaded this 'Ranma's' memories and sifted through them. That had taken longer then he'd anticipated.
Most people have boring pathetic little lives and you could skip over most of it in such a scan. This
boy however had a life that was as hectic as it was chaotic. It had been very fun to watch.

The other Quarter Knights, never appreciated the sheer complexity in creating Lady Harken. A being with
all the abilities of the original human backed by a demon's power. The mind of a demon in a human body,
and yet not a case of possession or suppression. He had taken her mind and re-engineered the entire thing,
memories, instincts and all to a demonic template. Not to mention splicing in sections a human doesn't
even have to make the new configuration work smoothly. Compiling and debugging a working sentient neural
map had been pure unadulterated ass.

This new project was going to be even worse. The boy's dual forms had sparked a stray thought, that
although difficult, he just couldn't let go. A mind best suited to each form! He wanted to merge the
neural patterns of both Harken and Boomerang with the boy. Those minds were best complimentary to Ranma's.
The female form was faster and Harkens abilities would suit it nicely. The male form was stronger, and
Boomerang's skills would make it unstoppable. All three enjoyed battle, and hopefully this would bring
the boy's forgiving qualities down to a more realistic level.

He also wanted to run a secondary experiment to compliment this one. That 'neko-ken' gave him an excellent
base personality for it. Waste not want not, simply deleting it would have been a shame, transplanting it
was far more productive. The readings on Lucied's energy pattern had been simple curiosity, now, he was
going to make an artificial Guardian with it! Add in the neko-ken mental patterns and you have a ready made
partner for Ranma. Just as well, Boomerang had been used to fighting with Lucied by his side.

Of course, all this mental tampering could drive the lad stone cold bat shit crazy, but that was the
whole point of experimentation. You couldn't do something right without knowing where you could go wrong.
Or rather, you COULD, but the chances were slim that you would.

There were other things he wanted to try too, but he couldn't cram everything into one lab test. Body
modification might throw the mental balances off, and he didn't even have working nanomachines yet.
Sci-fi was a wonderful thing, gave him all sorts of nifty ideas. He really wanted to build a working Borg.

He'd spent ten years in this dimension. Teleportation on a world with so little magic made stealin
shit easy. Sure he'd done a few low grade experiments to keep his skills up, but most of the time was spent
on researching new ideas. Filgaia had never been as populous as Earth and had magic mixed in with technology.
Earth technology was solely based on mechanics, and the larger population meant there was a larger market for
entertainment. Television was a wellspring of ideas if you had the know how to bring the fantasy into reality.
The internet was even better, you could look up anything you wanted in detail, it was L33t! ...not to mention
his six GB pr0n collection... don't look like that! He had needs too!!!

Video games gave him ideas as well. Unfortunately he'd had to build a playstation controller from scratch to
fit his claws, but it was worth it. That Deus thing from Xenogears made him all kinds of happy. Although he
wouldn't do that here, it'd mess with his current guinea pig.

Maybe he should build it and let it loose in that dimension with the creepy singing bears.
Those "Care Bears" had scared the shit out of him, and it wasn't because he was a demon.

Ah well, back to work!
