Chapter 2

"Wow" Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Yamcha looked around amazed. They where used to some extraordinary techniques in Bulma's labs, but still this was amazing.

Bulma looked around, she clearly liked the stuff that stood all over, but she was used to too much to be impressed. And Eighteen didn't even look around.

"Nice huh?" dr. Rayo said proudly. "I designed most of these things."

"What's it all for?" Gohan asked.

"All kinds of things, mostly it is A.I. for computers or factory's" dr. Rayo said. "I'm sorry but you'll all have to walk trough this gate, I myself as well. It'll check for all kinds of threats, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's standard procedure.

Dr. Rayo walked to the man who sat behind the computer connected to the scan. He whispered something to him. The man just nodded although it didn't look like he completely understood it.

Dr. Rayo walked trough the gate. "Come this way please."

Everybody followed the doctor, Eighteen went last. When she walked trough the man looked at the screen amazed but he didn't say a word.

Rayo entered a code at a door and it opened. "Welcome to my private lab."

"You have some pretty impressive stuff here Rayo" Bulma said, "What is it you wanted to show me?"

"This" Rayo took a small machine, Bulma looked surprised.

"Isn't that a normal DNA scan?"

"Yes, technically it is. But you are forgetting that my speciality is robotics. Now I connected this scanner to a computer that is altered with A.I. knowledge. Like I said, this is a more advanced version of my earlier project. This little thing can scan the DNA and not just make a profile of it, but he can scan trough a list of suspects of crimes, he can create an image what the perpetrator would look like and even see the difference between the DNA of 2 monozygotic twins."

"But I thought there was no difference in the DNA of.." Bulma started.

"It's just a very small difference, recently discovered by my company, it are small mutations in the DNA like every other human has, but these mutations can show the difference."

"I must say dr. Rayo, I'm impressed. This project is quite a breakthrough." Bulma said. "I think this could be very useful for the police."

"And there is where I need your help dr. Briefs" dr. Rayo said, now a little more modest.

"Please tell me" Bulma said.

"My company is too small and doesn't possess the amount of money nor the ability it takes to launch this project. You know the police here, before they take something they first want a lot of samples of the project to test it, and no one, not the police not the government is willing to finance it. Even if it is something useful for the cops." Dr. Rayo explained it all a little shy, it was clear he was embarrassed to ask Bulma for help.

"Now your company is huge, it has the money and the people have the knowledge to create a lot of samples of my project, I'd like to ask if you could produce them for me, of coarse I shall give you all the credit you need and part of the profit and even..."

"Dr.?" Bulma started politely

"Yes?"

"Don't worry, I shall help you produce the project, I'd be honoured."

"Really?"

"Yes, if you could take the exact designs of the scan and the A.I. to me I'll help you make it. And seeing that this is for the cops this won't really give a lot of profit, I'll do this because it can solve a lot of crimes and because I enjoy helping others with great ideas."

Dr. Rayo looked like he wanted to kiss her "Dr. Briefs you are my angel I mean it. I am aware that I won't make a lot of money out of this but it could give me the familiarity i need."

"Look, give me a call one day and i'll take a closer look to the designs all right?" Bulma asked.

"Yes, I will, and thank you again dr."

"Your welcome" Bulma shook dr. Rayo's hand, and she walked to the door. "just call" she said again.

During the little meeting Bulma was having, the rest was playing with the computers and buttons, when they saw that Bulma was ready to leave they stood up.

Dr. Rayo took the gang to the took and waved them goodbye. When they where out of sight Goku transported everybody back to Capsule Corp. Meanwhile the man from behind the computer walked over to dr. Rayo.

"Dr. That girl she.." he stambeled.

"I know" dr. Rayo said "why do you think I invited Briefs? If I wanted I could launch the project myself, I have more money then people think. That project was simply the bait. Do you really think I'd care about the police, the only thing I care about is Gero's knowledge, and to get Gero's knowledge I need his work, and I can get his work, one of his masterpieces trough miss Briefs."

Once again Bulma looked a little pale.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to this instant transmission thing" she said placing her hand on her mouth.

"Just breath, the nausea will go away soon" Goku said with his usual friendly voice.

"Hey B you really wanted to help that guy did you?" Yamcha asked.

Bulma nodded. "I'm just glad he wants to help the community, I guess that makes the rumours truly just rumours."

"What rumours?" Krillin asked curious.

"Well, it is said that dr. Rayo is a little attracted to the erm.. dark side of science" Bulma said a little doubtful "I'm not really sure what people all say about him, but some scientists say that the dinosaurs where extinct by hunting Martians or lack of room on Noah's Ark."

"Well that could be true can it?" Goku said.

"No" Bulma said firmly "I just think everything about dr. Rayo was a rumour, he really wants to help people, and well then I'm willing to help him."

"That's really cool of you Bulma" Goku said.

Bulma smiled.

Once they where back home Krillin and Eighteen dropped themselves on the beach. It was a nice little place to lay down for a while.

"So, tell me" Krillin said.

"What?"

"You haven't said a word since we got to Rayo, and inside the labs you where as tense as hell, I could see that easily, what is wrong with you?"

"Nothing" Eighteen said "I just don't trust the guy."

"You don't trust any scientist, it took a while before you trusted Bulma, but usually you just pretend that nothing is wrong."

"I know, but this guy just really gives me the creeps, and remember that security gate we had to walk trough?"

Krillin nodded.

"Well, if it could detect weapons it could detect me, and this guy behind the computer gave me a very funny look, but he didn't say a word. Something is wrong with this Rayo, and like Bulma said he's attracted to the darker side of science, last person I know who was made me what I am now" Eighteen said it all very serious, she wasn't kidding, she was truly worried, perhaps even scared.

"Look, sweetie, Bulma said they where rumours" Krillin tried.

"I know, but my instinct doesn't fail me" Eighteen said firmly.

"Well, whatever he is, I won't let him hurt you, I just won't" Krillin smiled and gave Eighteen a small kiss on her lips.

"Besides" Krillin continued, "you've trained so hard lately that it would take him a lot of effort to hurt you."

Eighteen smiled as well "Maybe you're right, but it's just, lately I've been having strange feelings at night, it feels like some threat is coming near me, that is why I've been training so much, I wanted to be prepared. I thought it was crap, but now with the whole Rayo thing, i feel that it might've been useful."

"Training is always useful babe, if not today then tomorrow, but we can go to Bulma tomorrow, see if she knows more about the man." Krillin said.

Eighteen nodded, it seemed like a safe and good plan. Krillin and Eighteens conversation was suddenly disturbed by a hard sound coming right at them.

Marron bonked of the stairs and ran towards her parents. "Mommy! Daddy!" she yelled.

"Hey sweetie, do you know it's not very polite to make the same noise as a peck of elephants, you could disturb the neighbours" Krillin said trying to sound like a true father.

"Krillin, we live on a small Island, the closest thing to a neighbour is a fish or 20 kilometres away from here" eighteen said drily.

"I'm just trying to raise our daughter" Krillin said.

"She's our daughter" Eighteen said "that's hopeless."

the next day.

Krillin and Eighteen landed in Bulma's backyard. They walked towards the private entrance they where allowed to use, otherwise they'd have to go trough useless security checks and secretaries. Capsule Corp was big business so it was hard to walk in that easy.

"Bulma!" Krillin screamed.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here what's wrong?" Bulma asked walking out of a room.

"Hey!" Krillin and Eighteen both said.

"Bulma we'd like to ask you if you could tell us a little more about dr. Rayo?" Krillin asked.

"Well, I don't know a lot but why?"

"Just curiosity" Eighteen answered "can you help us?"

"I've got some old magazines, he should be in there, you can check them if you'd like. I can't help because you're object of curiosity is coming to talk about the financing." Bulma said.

"Alright, where are they?"

"Here in this room" Bulma opened a door and showed the two in.

"Thanks!" they both said.

The two spend some time flipping trough old magazines, some had rather interesting reports about scientists and new inventions in them. Other where just boring and Eighteen managed to slate an entire article about androids that was –according to her- completely wrong.

"Hey here I've got something" Eighteen suddenly said.

On the middle of a page stood a photo of dr. Rayo, he had an evil smirk and looked rather arrogant.

"Let me see" Krillin said.

"Here I'll read it: Dr. Rayo, expert in robotics bla bla bla bla fonder of a small company bla bla bla bla."

"And it goes on like this for a while, but wait here. Dr. Rayo was always attracted to the dark side of science, he experimented on several animals without official permission. He tried to install robotic parts within them. His greatest fascination was the Red Ribbon Army, he had a lot of admiration for the destructive robots created by dr. Gero and when the Army suddenly disappeared he pitied it dearly. Rayo admitted once it was his dream to be able to do what dr. Gero could and he would do anything to achieve that."

It was silent for a little while.

Krillin shook his head. "No wonder this guy creeps you out."

"Hush" Eighteen said "I hear something."

From the main room voices came. Bulma was talking, to Rayo. "He's here" Eighteen whispered.

"Should we warn Bulma?" Krillin said.

Eighteen shook her head "she'll be alright, I want to listen to them."

The conversation as rather dull. It was mostly about money, lots and lots of money, then they heard both persons stand up. Clearly they made an agreement and shook hands.

"I'm glad you want to do this project dr." Bulma said.

"Oh, I'm just fascinated by robots, so anything to make them better and help the society."

Eighteen pretended to gag.

"You know, so many brilliant things can be done with robots, so many powerful things. I was always fascinated by cyborgs and androids, maybe somebody in this company can work with me in a project about them."

Bulma looked confused.

"Well, dr. We'll see that later, first this project, I'll let you out." They heard footsteps moving away from them.

Eighteen looked at Krillin in absolute terror, "He knew I was here." She whispered.
