Note: To answer the questions that folks have sent to me...

No, that was not disappointment in Abel's response after learning I'm married. I very much wrote that as Abel feeling sorry for me since given how far in the future I ended up, I was widowed unintentionally by the Professor's experiment.
Yes, the statistics I gave Abel are the real ones. (Although I appear to have picked up my mother's habit of lying about my age... I'm 32, not 31.)
Yes, in MY version of the TB universe, nuns do not wear wedding rings, despite being 'brides of Christ.'
No, Sister Johanna is not going to have some horrendously uber-spiffy ability. (Not unless that's provided via AX training, but I will not be starting off with it.)
And to pre-emptively answer a question... I really am a languages geek.

And I just have to laugh at how many people absolutely adored the whole 'first pagan nun' comment.

Unexpected Results, Part VII

Father Leon: "Hey, Four-Eyes, where have you been? We were going to start without you..."

Abel: "Vaclav, Leon, Professor, allow me to introduce the AX's latest recruit, Sister Johanna Sinclair."

WWW: "Ah, a newcomer! How do you do, I'm William-"

Father Havel: "Um, William, unless I'm mistaken, that's the young woman your experiment conjured up."

WWW: "What?"

Father Leon: "Wow, I didn't even recognize you!"

Me: "I guess clothes really do 'maketh the man,' or woman in this case."

Sister Noelle: "Excellent... No one will question her presence now."

Me: "I still feel like a hypocrite."

Father Havel: "Hypocrite or not, it's still a necessity to keep the Inquisitorial Department from finding out about you."

Me: "The Inquisitorial Department? Hasn't religion moved past burning people at the stake yet?"

Father Havel: "They don't burn people at the stake-"

Father Leon: "No, they use charged plasma throwers to wipe out the infidels."

Me: "WHAT?!"

Sister Noelle: "Now, now, Father Leon, don't scare her."

Father Leon: "But still, do you think just dressing her in a habit is going to help?"

Abel: "She can attend services with us, and I'm certain that she's bright enough to learn quickly."

Me: "I should hope so."

Father Leon: "Yeah, but I mean, she has to have SOME religious knowledge or the whole thing will blow up in our faces."

Abel: "They let you into the priesthood, why shouldn't she be able to pull it off?"

Father Leon: "What was that?!"

Sister Noelle: "Please, we are trying to eat here! Could we at least pretend to keep this civilized?"

Father Leon: "Blame Father Four-Eyes, he's the one thatmmmph-"

Abel: "Would you give that a rest alreadmmph-"

Me: "I'm not taking my hands off your mouths until you both promise to knock it off. Okay?"

Abel: "Mm-hmm."

Father Leon: "Mm-hmm."

Sister Noelle: "If I'd known that would have worked, I'd have done that years ago."

Abel: "Mis-, sorry, Johanna, do you have ANY religious background?"

Me: "I was raised Armenian Apostolic, if that helps... not unlike Greek Orthodox."

Father Havel: "That will help somewhat. But you're still going to need to learn the basics on Catholicism, or we'll never manage this. With her Eminence's permission, you'll begin classes immediately with me and with Father Nightroad."

Me: "Oh, great."

WWW: "Actually, I believe that I should be involved as well, since her Eminence has made me responsible for you, and I have been temporarily ordered not to conduct further experimentation on the containment unit."

Abel: "And it will be difficult, Johanna... you'll need to learn several languages at least passably well."

Me: "Such as?"

Father Havel: "Do you know Italian?"

Me: "Pozzo abbastanza." Well enough.

WWW: "Greek?"

Me: "Ochi para polu kakos." Not too bad.

Abel: "Latin?"

Me: "Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum."

Father Leon: "Anything else?"

Me: "Havadamk ee mi Asdvadz, ee Hayrn amenagal, hararichn yergni yev yergri."

Father Leon: "What was THAT?"

Me: "Armenian..."

WWW: "What was it that you said?"

Me: "'We believe in one God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth...'"

Father Havel: "The Nicene Creed. Are you sure you're not Catholic?"

Me: "I just have a gift for languages. I'm awful at mathematics, if it helps."

Sister Noelle: "You said you were raised Apostolic... but what faith do you follow now?"

Me: "Um..."

Abel: "Wait, don't tell me you were serious about that 'first pagan nun' crack back in your quarters!"

Me: "Actually, I was."

Sister Noelle: "God help us all."
