Nine of them. The power from their planetary connection had altered with the transformation but they were still magical girls. They weren't Sailor Senshi any more. They were instead Magical Maids.
Mahou Mahoro Ami in her light blue maid uniform. The Mercury Computer and scanners were now part of her, internalized. Her magical powers were related to her role as the Medical Maid - healing, purification, and repair.
Mahou Mahoro Minako in her light orange maid uniform. Her disguise pen had been internalized as well as the V-gun she'd had as Sailor V. As the long distance artillery piece, or the Laser Maid, her power was in the "pop up" lasers in her forearms and her jetpack.
Mahou Mahoro Usagi in her white on white maid uniform. She was still trying to figure out what she could do.
Mahou Mahoro Rei in her red maid uniform. So far she'd shown the ability to command flame and throw a jet of fire from her hands.
Mahou Mahoro Makoto in her green maid uniform. With her superstrength and "taser punch" so far, she was a formidable antagonist.
Mahou Mahoro Hotaru had her purple maid uniform and hadn't figured out what all she could do yet other than basic android superpowers.
Mahou Mahoro Haruka had her yellow maid uniform and was apparently the speed unit.
Mahou Mahoro Michiru had a aquamarine maid uniform and hadn't figured out what she could do other than she had perfect pitch and control and could still play the violin.
Mahou Mahoro Setsuna had a dark emerald maid uniform and was uncertain as to her powers. Other than her Time Key Staff was apparently now some sort of particle beam cannon that had apparently drilled a hole in Mount Terror.
"I think it's only temporary until we get the ginzuishou fixed," Setsuna was saying. "We should be proof against such minor transformations."
"I think this is kinda neat," said Hotaru leaping up onto the roof again. "Now I know why Ranma-sempai is always doing this! It's fun!"
Haruka twitched. On the one hand she could interface directly with vehicles of all kinds by extending devices from within her frame. She also could run faster than any of the other Senshi-omatics. On the other hand, she had some serious problems with the current situation.
Ranma sighed and looked over his troops. What a day.
"Ranma... I'll... KILL YOU!" Haruka had decided to blame Ranma and attacked.
"STOP!" Ranma commanded. Everyone stopped in their tracks.
Ranma nodded, the James Bond part of him having raced ahead to certain conclusions. Right now they were all still mainly in shock, well, except for Hotaru. Hotaru was a great kid, and Ranma hadn't realized that she was almost in constant pain until after this transformation when Hotaru had remarked on how the pain was finally gone.
They were his androids. If he gave them a command, they would obey. When they came out of shock, how would they handle this? Like Haruka, and just go nuts? He had to come up with a way of forestalling that, at least until after Setsuna fixed that ginzu whatever it was.
After (relative to pre-Bond Ranma) careful consideration, Ranma tried a command. He'd seen hypnotist acts before, so as soon as he snapped his fingers they'd forget he commanded them to be like this, but they'd go on. Something simple, to keep superpowered android maids from trashing themselves or their surroundings. Something like...
Ranma picked up one of Setsuna's romance/SF novels. This might work. If he was right, they was the same people - they sure acted the same (mostly) so he just needed some way to keep the current situation from making 'em go nuts till the cure's found.
