Jumba's ship came to a halt as a several lights blinked on the console and a message blared across the sound system.

"Approaching vessel. You ship has been prohibited from entering the nearby space due to potential damage to ship."

Stitch woke up in the copilot seat. "Huh?"

Jumba leaned over on the console glanced at a piece of paper he had in his hand only looking at the console to make a few keystrokes. "Is nothing to be worried about six-two-six. is warning beacon deployed by Galactic Federation."

Stitch looked out the window. He saw a small probe with a blinking light in space next to the ship but nothing else. "I don't see anything."

"Of course you are not seeing anything. Try looking for heat signatures."

Stitch thought for a few seconds, closed his eyes, and opened them revealing a pair of red eyes. Stitch saw a huge mass of heat before the ship behind the probe. He blinked again leaving his eyes black. "There is something there."

Jumba pressed a few more buttons and looked up from the console. "So then his lab IS running." Jumba paused for a few moments. "There is a strong magnetic field around Hamsterviel's lab. The Galactic federation has placed this probe here so that no unsuspecting ship is wandering into field and becoming disabled. They want to hide the fact that Hamsterviel's lab is here."

Stitch pointed out the window. "But I don't see anything."

"Magnetic field is strong enough to stop light from entering and exiting area. You cannot see lab because it isn't reflecting light into your superiorly designed eyes."

"If it disables ships then how do we get through?"

Jumba pressed one final button on the console and the light on the beacon changed from red to green. We are going to drift through it. We will race towards magnetic field and shut systems off just before we enter field." Jumba grabbed hold of the controls and brought the ship to full power. The ship lurched forward and the beacon soon drifted behind them out of view. Jumba quickly flipped the switch he had earlier and the ship fell silent.

Shauni Slowly opened her eyes and stretched her body in place. She reached down and grabbed the paw of the arm around her waist and brushed it against her check. Shauni looked down at the paw and then quickly leapt off the cot and looked back at what was next to her. There was an experiment lying on its side with its eyes blankly open. It was red with similar neck and stomach fur patterns as her. Its antenna were also red like its body but had black tips.

It rolled off the bed and feel face first on the floor. Shauni waited for it to move but it didn't. She knelt down next to it and placed her paw on its back. Two rows of three spines sprung out of its back causing Shauni to jerk her hand away. Its back patterns reminded her of Stitch's but they had jagged edges instead of round and smooth edges.

Shauni put her paws under its stomach and rolled it over on its back. It blankly stared up at the ceiling. She waved her paw in front of its face. It quickly brought up a paw and caught her wrist. Shauni grabbed her arm and tried to pull away but to no avail. It blinked its eyes a few times and sat up. It looked at her paw and then at her face. Shauni was quivering and yelping trying to get away. It released its grip on Shauni's wrist and she ran over into the corner cowering.

The experiment stood up looking at its self. It looked at its paw and flexed each finger individually. It looked over its shoulder at its spines and then pulled one of its antennas down and looked at it. It looked over at Shauni who was now watching him quivering in the corner. It walked on all fours over to her and sat down in front of her. Shauni shielded her face with her arms and winced. "Sh-sha-sha-nee."

Shauni brought her arms down and looked at the experiment. "Kyle?"

The door to the room hissed open and two turrets hovered in along with a small platform on which was standing Dr. Hamsterviel. "Good. Both of you are awake. PROJECT ALPHA!" The experiment spun around and stood up in front of Dr. Hamsterviel. "Follow me. We must test you to make sure you still have you designed skills."

The experiment walked forwards a few steps and paused. it looked back at Shauni. "Ah. You want her to come very well she can come. She can come and see what her friend is designed to be."

Shauni slowly got up and walked towards the experiment. "Kyle?" the experiment just looked at her. "What did you do to him?"

"The tranquilizer he was shot with contained a small amount of a DNA prepping agent. Not only has it changed him at a genetic level but it has completely erased all of his memories leaving him with just his instincts, what he was designed to do." The platform holding Dr. Hamsterviel floated out of the room and down the hallway.

Shauni looked down at the ground. The experiment walked over to her and held her paw. She looked up at its face. Its eye was twitching. "Sha-nee…I..I'mmm s-till here."

Shauni brought both of her paws up to its face. "Kyle! You are there!" She whispered.

"N-na-not forrrrrr la-long." his eye slowly stopped twitching
