Magno Vivan entered the Medical Wing with a pensive look. Upon entering, she immediately noticed Duero McFile, the Nirvana's doctor, looking at a console, deep in thought, and oblivious to everything else but the data that was on the screen. Magno decided to break his reverie, by gently coughing into her hand, alerting the doctor of her presence.
Duero did not react for a scant second, before he calmly turned to the captain, expecting the inquiry. Magno 'hmmed', before she spoke, "So, doctor, any particular answer to a question I don't need to ask?"
Duero looked at her with a quirked eyebrow, before he shook his head before answering, "The change is complete. I had analyzed both of Subject Saotome's forms, ran them through the tests available with what we have. I've gathered data both on the physical samples, as well as his...her...it's DNA." He briefly turned his head back to the screen, before facing Magno once again, "It's confirmed; I don't know how, but Ranma is human." The captain's eyes widened, before fixing him with a frown that clearly stated, "How?"
Duero frowned in return, but continued, "In all my years, I cannot and could not find an answer to this particular query." He then sighed, "As such, we can only accept that this Ranma Saotome can change from a healthy man into a completely healthy and, from what I have already known about, complete woman." He sighed heavily, before leaning back in his seat, exhausted physically and mentally.
Magno, for her part, also sat in a nearby seat, placing her forehead at her hands, which in turn were placed on top of her cane.
For a moment, both were silent and contemplative. The moment, however, ended when Duero heard a laugh. Raising his head in shock, he saw the captain's shoulders shaking, clearly in mirth. He stared in shock, before his gaze was met by Magno's own amused ones.
"Well," She started, her voice threatening to break into guffaws again, "At the very least, we can confirm one thing: the Nirvana would be a bit more lively in the days to come."
"QUIT IT, WILL YA!" Ranma's voice echoed. -SPLASH!-
Both occupants of the doctor's office sweatdropped at the noise that originated from outside.
*******
-Outside-
"WILL YOU...!" Ranma, strapped tight into a medical cot, shouted at the diminutive looking girl wearing a nurse's outfit, as well as a green frog hand puppet/mitten(?) on her right hand. Oh, and said girl was holding two pitchers of water, both of opposing temperatures.
-Splash!- "STOP...!" Ranma's voice had gained a higher and definitive feminine pitch.
-Splash!-"HITTING ME...!" -Splash!- "WITH THE...!" -Splash!- "GODDAMN...!" -Splash!- "WATER!" At this, Ranma-chan all but snarled as she tried to pry herself free from her bonds and lunge at the girl, to no avail, as the girl, named Paiway, just skipped away.
Paiway, putting down both pitchers, and completely ignoring Ranma's struggles, just crouched a bit, took out a pad and a pen, and wrote into the pad, muttering to herself, "This is really strange. Could this man-slash-woman be some sort of alien that Dita always talks about?" She gently placed her pen into the pad, and raised the hand that had the frog puppet, and made a failing attempt to use ventriloquism, "But the really smart and beautiful Paiway is here to find out, kero!"
"RARGH! LEMME OUT!" -Splash!-
Paiway just threw the warm-water pitcher, then took out her camera, pointed it at male Ranma, and with a flash, took a picture.
"Pai-check!"
