>>5690224> Kaede-anon can give the specifics of their interactionRoger have walked the girl all around the facility, getting deeper and deeper. Just the two of them.
"Come on, hero girl. I prepared some... tests... for you"
Kaede felt a shiver in her back. Was it an innuendo again?
"Dr. Nemuri, to what do I owe this unexpected visit? I believe this is the first time you've dropped by my lab this month.
- Making sure you don't run the new recruit ragged with your wacked-out methods"
Kaede immediately feels safer, no longer alone with the bad-vibe man.
They squabble a bit, about medical exam.
"Actually, mr Maestro... I think that's a good idea to check up"
The doctor lead the young girl to a fully-equipped room.
"Are you comfortable with Genetic sequencing girl? Your Genome will be saved by the association. This can give insight to your powers. Rest assured that you'll share the Intellectual Properties of any power-related gene and technology with the scientist discovering, or inventing from it.
- That... sound like a mutually advantageous deal. I'm no biologist, so correct me if I'm wrong : that can be used to track if I change due to exposure of dangerous things, right?
- Correct, with some other relevant metrics."
Kaede gives a sample of blood, go in the XRay Machine, and undergo the full Check-Up.
"I see numerous traces of traumas. But they're strange - they look old. According to your record, this one - she points to a skull injury - happened last week, while the bone fusion look complete
- Is that... good?
- Really unusual. Looks good short term - this kind of repair actually strengthen bones. But it might cause aging."
She types a few more command on the gene machine computer.
"We'll sample... Wait, that's weird. Your bone density is higher than what's expected for a woman your age... Same for muscles... *Ding* Ah, the gene sequence is here... No unidentified gene sequence... This won't be exploitable, I'm afraid. Now, let's check Telomere lenght...
- Telowhat?
- Telomeres. Cell bumper for division. Basically, when you're a newborn they're longer and get shorter at each copy. We can use them to age cells... That's strange too. Your telomeric length is aligned with a 13 year old, not a 17 girl...
-What does it mean?
- Well, it might look like your power is changing your growth to peak in all that matters : Bone density is optimal around 30, muscle around 25, brain around 18..."
>Kaede Fast-Healing : the time shift and regen at cellular range is the explanation of the "Get More Power" part of her kit>Also, the numerous and repeated Trauma doesn't seem to have long-term effect for now"That's good to hear, doc.
- That only mean you've been lucky so far. What happen if you get injured so hard your body can't heal? Or heal wrong? The amount of damage you took in the past weeks is insane. Tune it down. Else, you might very well get yourself killed. Or in permanent pain."
