Ranma managed to extricate himself from the girl's hug despite her strength and the small electrical discharges she emitted. She took a 'whipped puppy with big liquid eyes expression' and asked : "Master, what's wrong ?"
Ranma was sweating and near a state of panic. Some strange girl grabs him and now she's about to cry.
"Er... Look, miss. I think it's a mistake. I'm nobody's master, especially a pretty girl like you" *Ack ! She's blushing now ! WHAT AM I SAYING ?* "I'm not from around here either! I think I got lost and if you could tell me where I am and how to go back to Nerima" *Gah, i sound like pig-boy ! Really smooth, Saotome*
"Master, what are you talking about ? It's me, Canal ! You can't have forgotten me !" The girl was now looking seriously upset. Obviously, she thought he should know her. Add to this that she had the same voice as him when he was a girl, only a little more sugary, weird.
"Er... Sorry but it is the first time I see you, Canal-san. What is this place anyway ?"
"How can you ask such a question ? You're aboard the Swordbreaker, your ship ! If it is a joke, I don't find it funny ! And where are your usual clothes ? Your cape ? Your psychoblade ? Don't tell me you've lost it !"
"I don't know what you're talking about, okay !? Now where are we ?"
Screens materialized all around Canal to Ranma's astonishment. She looked at them briefly and said : "The Swordbreaker is currently orbiting Alpha Centauri IV. All systems have returned to optimal operating parameters. Defense screen and weapons fully charged. No space facilities or other ships in sensor range."
Ranma nervously asked : "Who... or What are you ?"
Canal smiled widely "I am Canal Volfield, the Swordbreaker's main computer. What you are seeing is a holographic representation I make to interact with my master and other intelligent life-forms. You could say I AM the ship"
"Well, you're certainly cute for a starship computer..." *IDIOT ! STOP THIS !*
Canal didn't know what to think. Her master had returned but seemed 'out of it'. And when he said nice things like that, it did all sorts of interesting things to her program, it never happened before ! What to do, what to do ?
