Extending the aircraft metaphor, it had been Pursuit which had run amok. While Ranma had been the speed unit as far as response time and for short distances, there had been another who had been more long-distance oriented.
Now he was still Reflex Accelerated Nanomech Military Android 01, but his duties had changed. The Princess was one he was to protect, per data acquired during a partial activation in the period known as the Silver Millenium.
The data he had available indicated that the Wraith-like Enemy briefly intersecting space/time coordinate would return. It was not in the nature of such to give up plans without more significant losses than a single scout.
Hotaru, the commanding officer/awakener, had indicated that optimal conditions in this culture could be obtained if he fit in better. Further, that the application for the position of girlfriend had been given.
That said, Ranma had very little idea of what to do next. He had little research on such things, and no prior experience. He had been developed as a soldier whose place was the battlefield. He had been created to deal with threats such as the Wraith (among others).
While his strength, speed, flight capability, reaction time, were all above human norm - plus he couldn't be 'eaten' by a Wraith, his main strength was (like all of the Weapons) his ability to adapt and utilize whatever came to hand. He could fit onto an enemy ship, grab their weaponry, and conserve his own resources as he used the enemy's weapons against them. He could also produce a Manifest Zone where creatures out of phase or dimensionally transcendent lost their invulnerability to various weapons.
Against the enemies of the Ancients, he could strike without mercy or hint of compassion. There were currently no enemies to strike at. Therefore he was protecting his "sister" primarily. Said sister found the idea of "getting a girlfriend" to be a positive.
Ranma observed the girl setting up a picnic lunch. Girl in question was an exceptional fighter for a human. With further training she might become a viable threat to some opponents. Having a relationship to her might increase that factor. Conclusion - recruiting this girl would be a desirable outcome.
THAT decided, there were problems such as trying to figure out how to go about this.
