"... I understood women!" Hibiki shouted. It would be nice to know how he was supposed to deal with them. They were so... alien (pun intended) to his Tarak way of thinking. Anything to avoid another mutiny/quarantine and manage to get Dita to be less clingy... One can dream, can't he?
"Aaaah! Stupid! As if some strange woman could... grant... wishes?" Hibiki's voice died when he saw Mihoshi glowing.
The Galaxy Police officer turned Genie smiled "Ah, I bet you must have girl problems like Tenchi. I know what I have to do then! Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Wish granted!" Mihoshi snapped her fingers and vanished in a puff of pink smoke Poof! There was a silent flash of blinding light then nothing...
Hibiki blinked. He looked everywhere in the cockpit but the crazy woman was gone. And he certainly didn't feel different "What kind of stupid prank..." He suddenly froze and then screamed in pain, taking his head in his hands, as knowledge was rammed into his (rather thick) skull.
It started with physiological and medical data on human women. Now Hibiki knew the female body and its reactions from the inside out (That would help him greatly when Ezra would give birth in a few weeks). Of course, Mihoshi found it useful to add sexual education to the package, Hibiki's understanding of women wouldn't be complete without it as they had urges sometimes. So Hibiki's brain was fed "Sex and sexual reproduction for dummies", Nodoka Saotome's "Handbook of Manliness", James Bond's "Guide to Romance and Seduction" and the "Master's Way" (Shameless plug, I know...). Various books on female psychology were added into the mix as well.
The last part of the wish altered Hibiki Tokai into a telepath but he would quickly discover it only worked on female minds and that he could only 'hear' their thoughts without being able to respond. All this was too much for Hibiki's brain to handle all at once, he fell unconscious almost immediately.
When he would wake up, he would slowly realize his new power and the knowledge his wish had given him. It would take time for him to fully integrate his new skills however. For now, it was only academic knowledge, so to speak. He would have to deal with the disturbing (To him and tarakian culture) side of what he now knew about women.
Without a conscious pilot at the commands, Hibiki's vanguard floated aimlessly in the void of outer space. A few minutes later, the fight with the Harvesters came to an end. The Nirvana's Dread squadron found Hibiki and his 'partner' thanks to its emergency beacon and proceeded on towing the machine back to the ship.
Later, Hibiki Tokai woke up in the Nirvana's infirmary. He wasn't alone however, one of the women had been waiting for him to regain consciousness.
