Sailor Pluto frowned in concern at that. "You mean that you can't access your full powers?"
"Pretty much. Basically, it's like radio broadcasts. You can hear a close station when you dial the radio to certain points, but it will be full of static, which makes it harder to get to hear what the songs on that station are."
"Which makes for a major problem when you need to be able to understand the lyrics of the song."
"Exactly. You could get by with one word, or two, being wrong, but there are times when you need it all, and if you don't have it...."
"You don't have to tell me," the Senshi murmured with great gravity. "How far does this go?"
"It basically precludes us from being able to... well, dress like you."

I discovered Doctor Goldfoot's operation, and figured out that the gynoids that he would produce could be planetary protectors. However, I knew that there would be an edge that I could give them."
"The Senshi."
"Got it in one. I had joined up with his organization early on, and when the time came, I got the chance to pick out the original 'models' for those gynoids. The girls were able to get their lives enhanced, and the world got protection."
"How so?"
"Some of the gynoids can fight supernatural menaces. Good for business, sure. But even better for the safety of those that they would be defending."
