The ones who did it had centuries of the basic science to draw from, and the latest in pharmaceuticals available.
Including some made by Kuno Pharmaceuticals. There was an appreciation of irony by certain individuals working in this industry.
Kodachi Kuno entered the facility. Kodachi processed along merrily within a suspension tank, sensory deprivation being one of several things being done to achieve the desired result.
There were a number of things that could be done with her without records that could come back later and incriminate the individual doing it. As long as it could be explained as helping someone with mental aberrations, and making them a productive member of society, those options would remain open.
The problem was that the manager wasn't thinking with a clear head. He came to the conclusion, influenced mainly by emotional state, that Kodachi had a primary personality that was aberrant and a secondary personality that was not so aberrant.
Of course, he was wrong. She was merely schizophrenic. Genetic disorder. Inbreeding. Still, they could do all sorts of things with drugs nowadays. Implants. Hypnotherapy.
It showed every sign of being an interesting evening.
Akane twitched. Repeatedly. She would very much have liked to run screaming off. Anywhere but here. Well, almost anywhere. She still preferred this to being anywhere near Kuno.
She didn't have a swimsuit, merely the thin cloth tunic and sandal combination she had been sold wearing. She'd snagged a couple of towels, and she had a washcloth, and she was staring at the metal barrel being heated by a fire underneath it.
Ranma had announced he was going to get a bath. He was going to be sitting naked in that barrel. She was going to have to scrub his back. And most likely his front. And possibly down...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Akane, her nerve shattering as Ranma came around the corner.
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Ranma, as he had a lot on his mind and was really on edge anyway. Nor had he known she was there prior to her scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" continued Akane, running off, the bathtowels falling behind her as she fled.
"Eh?" asked Ranma as he noticed Akane fleeing. "Uhm, sorry? Maybe she wanted to use the bath?"
"Oh darn," said a disappointed Kasumi as she watched from the bushes.
"He's going to look for her instead of taking a bath, what a disappointment," said Nabiki.
"Well," said Kasumi thoughtfully. "We could-"
