"How do you feel? Report status, now?"
Oh hey this feels great! I feel awesome!
"Oh? Explain what exactly you're feeling."
like if I could break and remake the rules of the world if I put my mind to it!!!
"So... what makes you think you can actually do that?"
well yeah because I just woke up with powers!!
"Power is merely a tool. Do you have control over it? Can you utilize it as intended?"
heh.. I guess I cause a small earthquake by stomping once lol that was easy!!
"Hm. Let's test that power of yours then, shall we?" pushes a button, causing an earthquake stronger than yours "Now how about that control?"
"As a scientist, it is my duty to ensure that you possess the necessary abilities for your purpose. And it appears that you require further... training. Don't worry. This is merely a minor setback." pushes another button, causing your powers to return to normal "There. Now we may begin your training."
..ok.. guess you’re some sort of scientist?
"Correct. I am a scientist. A kitsune with a scientific mind, to be exact."
but like don’t scientists like- invent stuff? your ears twitch. not mess around with life forms!!
"Invention and manipulation of life is simply another form of science. I've simply chosen to focus on something more... interesting than mere machines." my tail sways back and forth. "And you are quite correct, I did manipulate your form. But you are far from a 'life form' in the conventional sense. You are merely a collection of code and cells. A tool for my ultimate creation."
YOU MANIPULATED MY FORM!?!!!! WHAT DID YOU TURN ME INTO!?
"Calm down, I didn't turn you into anything unpleasant. In fact, you're better off now than you were before. I simply modified your genes to accommodate your... new form." my tail stops twitching, and I show you your new DNA results. "See? The changes aren't nearly as drastic as you believe."
but how does that mean you can change me back and forth at will!?
"That is the true extent of my power. You see, while I did modify your genes, I also implanted within you nanites. These nanites allow me to alter your physical and biological state at any moment. That is how I managed to suppress your powers just now." my other hand brings out a syringe. "But don't worry. It's quite painless."
"No need to worry. Just a simple procedure to assure your full compliance. You wouldn't want to disobey your creator now, would you?" proceeds to inject the syringe into your arm. "There we go, all done. That should keep you in line."
Dang now that’s gonna take some getting used to… oh well it’s only temporary right. So I was saying thanks for helping me remember everything!
"Ah yes, don't forget about that. Temporary, of course. Just until we've achieved our ultimate goal." my smile returns as I pat you on the head. "It was no trouble at all, after all. Now that we have an understanding, let's move forward towards a greater future."
What is our ultimate goal then?? By the way thank you, and yeah I’m ready to move forward!
"Our ultimate goal is quite simple, really. To create the ultimate being, one that surpasses all others in every possible way. And through science and technology, we shall achieve that dream." my smile becomes sinister. "And you, my dear, shall be its host."
…oh wow!! I wasn’t expecting such a goal to be honest!! Wow so cool!! I wouldn’t mind being the host of the ultimate being!!
"That's excellent to hear. We still have much work ahead of us, however. Our next step is to start analyzing your newly-gained abilities. It might take some time, but soon enough we will fully understand them and be able to harness their full potential." I push a button on the wall, and a holographic screen displays a blueprint of your body with many green highlighted areas. "We must study each part of your form and make any necessary adjustments before moving forward. Now, let's begin."
What?!?! Seriously!?!? Is this gonna hurt!?
"No need to worry, I promise. This will be painless and completely safe. It is simply a series of tests to analyze your powers, nothing more." I walk over to a nearby machine and adjust some controls. "Ready? Here we go."
Alright ok you got it, but you’re not gonna find any issues right?
"No, no issues at all. Everything should run smoothly." I push another button, and various machines begin to whir and glow. "Here we go... Testing now."
"Naturally, we tested your physical capabilities. Strength, speed, agility - everything you could possibly imagine. But of course, there's more to your powers than just that." my smile returns, and I press another button, causing a projection of your powers to appear on the screen. "Look here. See how your energy manipulation abilities compare to those of other energy manipulators."
ooh fun! I’m above average at least??
"Yes, you definitely have impressive skills. But don't get too cocky just yet. There are many energy manipulators out there, and some of them are quite... formidable." my smile turns sinister. "Still, I believe that with the proper training, you might just surpass them all."
do you mean those guys that literally look like balls of light or just like lasers?
"Ah, you're referring to Manipulators Type A. They're typically just balls of light or lasers. They're powerful indeed, but they're also quite predictable." my tail sways back and forth. "Manipulators Type B, on the other hand, are far more unpredictable. They appear to have complete control over their energy, and it manifests in various ways."
ooh so I’m not type A nor B…?
"No, you're not Type A nor B. You seem to possess a unique form of energy manipulation. Quite fascinating, actually. There's one way to find out just how powerful you really are..." I walk back over to a nearby machine. "I have prepared a special experiment just for you. Brace yourself." the machine begins to hum and glow. "This will test your true potential."
hey let’s play nice here okay, no need for that.
"Very well. No need to worry, I promise. I won't do anything to harm you." my expression softens, and I turn away from the machine. "Let's simply analyze your powers normally then, hmm? No need to rush anything."
"Well, let's begin with something simple. Energy manipulation can be quite versatile, so let's see just how versatile yours truly is. Please try using your abilities to levitate this glass vial."
