Ranma's Robogirls: Direct Approach [Episode 16229]

by Kestral

The image of Sailor Pluto nodded, knowing that this was all a bit much to dump on anyone at once.

"So, you're saying something was going on and I tried to make a wish - only cause it wasn't worded too well and the wish-granter was an idiot - I got stuck with the whole robo-gal thing? It wasn't as I remember it - that I got involved in trying to stop this Yakuza idiot and his pet mad scientist and ended up taking these gals in. They weren't supposed to be hangin' around me, they were gonna actually end up in a loose marriage arrangement with Tsukino-san?"

"Yes, that's right," agreed Sailor Pluto.

Ranma scratched his head. "This is weird, cause I remember ya being one of my new friends and one of them robo-gals. What you think, Ami?"

"While it is possible this is a plot begun by enemies or forces wishing to seize us for their own purposes, my scans reveal a 99.4% power signal match with the Garnet Orb," said Ami, datafields dancing across her blue eyes. "It is therefore likely, based on available data, that this is indeed Sailor Pluto from either an alternate future or alternate timeline."

Sailor Pluto's red eyes stared into Ami's blue eyes, seeing the flit of datafields passing across the surface, and wondered what part of her plan wasn't viable. "So what 'problem' is there with my plan?"

Ami sat back, going into a thoughtful expression. "That problem being that -"

• there no longer is a remote. To eliminate its potential threat, it was incorporated physically into Ranma."
• Ranma required us to find a solution to the enslavement codes. As a result we're not his slaves, merely friends. However much each of us might desire something a bit more... satisfying."
• Ranma couldn't stand the idea of us being his slaves. At his direction, I was able to rewrite the codes so that I could infect him and have him remain male. Now we seek to please him, he seeks to please us, and the remote has been incorporated into him and nullified."
• part of the original programming those villains did was that we seek to maintain the basics of our condition. We will actively fight any attempt to un-enslave us."
• something else
