She knew the Rei units were cloned troops, so were the Kaworu units, but that was common knowledge. She knew further that their proper names were the R.E.I. and K.W.R. clone troopers, which wasn't publicly known. Project SOLDIER was known as being the use of clone slave troops to reduce human casualties. She had suspected several things about it that were not nearly so aboveboard. She'd even heard of Project E.V.A., though she didn't have details.
As it was, that information hadn't even been addressed because of the circumstances of her enslavement.
She knew that the R.E.I. series had some problems, but that was nothing on the K.W.R. series. THIS Rei though had something special. She'd survived where others had not.
She'd bear watching.
"Well, you see," said Maya, looking uncomfortable. "While you were, ah, getting acquainted with your Rei model, your father, how can I put this?"
"Just try saying it," suggested Ranma.
"He jumped out of a tenth story window into a shark-infested bay when he was introduced to Doctor Nodoka Soryu-Langley and her daughter," said Maya, breaking out into a giggle again.
"Oh," said Ranma. "So?"
"What do you mean 'so'?" asked Maya, who was REALLY beginning to regret taking those pills before hand. They were SUPPOSED to relax you. Instead she had moments of panic intermixed with giggle fits.
"That's the training in the Oceanborn Technique, Advanced Stage," said Ranma matter-of-factly. "How much was he chained down with?"
"Hah?!" asked Maya.
"So, what you're saying is that your father isn't in any sort of danger," supplied Misato/mitzy. She considered the father a potential threat to her Master. Might have to rig traps or other unpleasantries in case he showed.
"Nah," said Ranma. "He trained me in that two years ago. How much weight did you add?"
"He wasn't weighed down," said Maya. "You're kidding right?"
"No weights?" said Ranma. "Huh. What did he expect to accomplish without the weights? Funny though - he never showed interest in training in those techniques himself. Why did he choose now for it?"
"Do we have any idea why Mister Saotome flipped completely out on seeing Mrs Soryu-Langley?" asked Ritsuko.
"No idea, but he went into a complete panic, screamed like a little girl, and went through a plate glass window in his attempt to get away," said Hyuga.
"If he shows up again, we may have to have those two on site," mused Ritsuko.
