Besides, if was your carelessness that put Seina-chan in danger!"

'if' s/b 'it'

"Indeed, it as as you said

'as as' s/b 'is as'

"There was a message from Seto-sama. She said to work him hard and make him into a man." She explained, Kiriko's pale face developing a bright blush. "Full of meaning, no?"

They are going to be so 'manly'

It would have been hilarious, from Kiriko's standpoint, were she told she had to do that to Ranma as well. after all, at this point neither Amane nor Kiriko know of Ranma's gender issues.

Why didn't she do that indeed.

[Dumbledork]

Thank God they didn't invite Akane. Her pervert sense would have worked a triple shift.

[LawOhki]

Ranma found that even in space, trainstations still existed, as they passed over a set of tracks for a float train. Since the trains actually floated, the tracks were simply a way to indicate where the trains would pass by. Of course they were walking on a walkway above the tracks, with a sky viewscreen running with the tracks, making it look like they were on a planet, if you ignored the views into space on either side.

“Good afternoon, Chairwoman.” A female voice spoke from behind, and Ranma turned around to see a strange humanoid. She had on a purple dress down to her knees, with a pink tie, and black leggings. The strange thing about her, was the short white fur that covered her exposed skin, the pronounced muzzle face, large pointed ears, and a tail.

“It's not strange for an Earthling to be surprised when first meeting a Wau.” The new girl seemed slightly amused at Seina's look of shock, while Ranma was more or less over the oddity as soon as she had seen it.

“I'm sorry!”Seina apologized for his slack jawed gaze.

“You don't seem to be too shocked?” The girl questioned at Ranma's uninterest.

“I know someone who turns into a giant minotaur thing. Compared to that, you're pretty tame.” She shrugged.

“Really?” Seina asked her. “A minotaur?”

“Yea, he's a real jerk too, got some weird pantyhose fetish too.”

“Panty-hose?” Seina wondered.

“This is Elma, my assistant.” Airi introduced. “Elma, these are the two Earthlings.”

“It's nice to meet you.” The taller girl came forward and gently rubbed her cheeck against Ranma's face.

“Ack!” Ranma pulled away, not having expected some kind of cuddle attack. Elma didn't seem offended, though she took several sniffs of the air.

“You poor thing, don't worry, you'll be paid enough that you don't have to share clothes with your brother.” Elma smiled at her before doing the same with Seina, who didn't resist the cuddling.

“Brother? I don't have a brother.” She scratched the side of her head, noticing that Airi had developed a particularly amused smile.

“Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I smelled something.” Elma released a blushing Seina, and bowed to Airi. “Please excuse me, I have duties to attend to.” Ranma watched the retreating form, feeling that there was something strange about the Wau.

“Seina-kun.” Airi leaned in close to the boy. “You work fast don't you.” The green haired woman said suggestively. “Maybe I should tell Kiriko-chan about this.”

“Wait! It's not like that!” The boy backed away from the Chairwoman, waving his arms in warding, and backing into the railing of the platform.

“Well, I guess I can let you off the hook, this time.” Airi waved a hand flippantly, and Seina relaxed, leaning heavily against the railing. “Now then, let's hurry and get the enrollment process-- Ranma-chan, where did you get that bag of chips?”

Finishing off the bag, Ranma was just starting to enjoy the show, Seina seemed to have worse luck with women than she did. “From Kiriko.” She answered, blinking several times when the railing broke, and Seina tumbled over the edge. “I think Seina broke himself again.” She pointed out.

[Dumbledork]

Hehehe. I love it. Maybe you've said it before, but I can't remember. Will Ranma once again have girls after him or will you be nasty and have her be pursued by boys alone?

[PCHeintz72]

"I think Seina broke himself again." She pointed out.

I'm afraid I do not get the reference, unless 'himself' s/b 'something'.

[LawOhki]

Seina hurt himself when he destroyed the dock controls.

[LawOhki]

After getting Seina off the tracks before he was struck by a train, they proceeded to do some medical examinations. This was accomplished by standing in a cylinder, and having a red light pass over her. “Uh, shouldn't I get some hot water?” She asked Airi, exiting the scanning device.

“Not really.” The green haired woman answered. “That is, unless your male form has physical problems or issues you think we should know about? No physical deformities, disease, or injuries?”

“No nothing like that.”

“Hmm, I wonder what we should do now?” Airi crossed her arms. “We're done with the examinations and you're already entered into the system. And I don't suppose you want to be shown around the Academy by an older, but still youthful and beautiful, woman such as myself. Surely you would want someone younger to be your guide.” Airi finished dramatically.

“Uh, that's not true.” Seina protested.

“Anybody but Mihoshi.” Ranma added, not really caring who showed her around. Her attitude earned her a whithering glance from Airi.

“In that case, I suppose I'll have to show you the super deluxe tour, so you'll appreciate my attention.” Airi pronounced, the button over her left breast suddenly flashing. “Oh, hold on a second, I have a call I need to take.”

“Man she's clingy.” Ranma sat down heavily on a seat as soon as Airi was out of sight, dissappearing behind a couple desks. Bouncing on the transparent blue cylinder she had sat on, this whole thing had began to get boring. Here she was, surrounded by super high technology, on an immeasurably large space station, and she was bored. Other than the view into space, it felt like they were in some kind of bank. People in blue GP uniforms were milling about or interacting with those sitting at desks.

“Yamada Seina and Saotome Ranma.” A man's voice said distastefully, drawing both of their eyes. The one who spoke was a taller man, with bright pink hair, looking skyward with his arms crossed. He was wearing a dark gray, almost black tunic, with blue edging. “I despise Earthlings!” He proclaimed loudly without looking at them.

“The presence of you two makes a mockery out of the Academy! This place was not meant for babysitting uncivilized Earthlings!” Finally tilting his head downwards, he directed a particularly hateful glare at her. “You may not be joining the GP, but you have tarnished the just as glorious Jurai empire by your presence! To think that Seto-sama would personally request that you be allowed to attend our prestigious institution, is an insult of the highest order.”

“So what are you going to do about it?” She challenged.

“Bah! Uncivilized savages! As if I would be so crass as to physically remove you myself. I'll let the rigorous and the curriculum, that is so far beyond the understanding of such a lower life form as you, do the job for me!” The man pointed a finger at her, and Ranma noticed Airi's angry face appear behind the man.

“I tell you now, go back to your uncivilized Earth at once, you uncivilized.” The man didn't finish, a pair of black folders several centimeters thick impacting the back of his head.

“Stop trying to intimidate my new students, you moron!”

Cowering on the ground, the man held the back of his head. “Ai-Airi-sama, I wasn't trying to intimidate them.” Recovering almost instantly, he stood up calmly, and moved behind her to lay a hand on her shoulder. “I was simply informing.” This time the man had to stop, when Ranma grabbed his wrist, and threw him into the wall.

“Don't touch me you pink haired idiot.” She growled, brushing off imaginary dirt from her shoulder.

“Nice throw Ranma-chan.” Airi commented, nodding her head in approval.

[PCHeintz72]

"Not really." The green haired woman answered. "That is, unless your male form has physical problems or issues you think we should know about? No physical deformities, disease, or injuries?"

Even without having anything like that. I really cannot picture them not wanting a baseline scan of both forms for medical records.

Additionally, if they are going to check with Washu on a potential cure, they and she would both want those scans as well, even if it does not show the change.

Who knows what type of interesting anomalies could show in some of those scans, especially if they test the same stuff she does, since she once listed everything she checks.

I also would think they would need it for ID purposes, handprint, retnal scans, energy pattern, etc... I image scanners would give Ranma fits on allowing entry into places. Even if the fingerprints for example stayed the same, the exact size would change, likewise size, shape, and pressure in the eye, even if the pattern were the same.

I'll revise it a little, but Ranma's still registered as female, and won't be running around as a male much.

Say like how Ryoko turns into Elma, Ryoko as a base doesn't change, but she takes on all the attributes of a Wau. It's the reverse in this case, they see that Ranma-chan is in excellent health, and are able to conclude that Ranma-kun would be the same, or else they would see issues with Ranma-chan.

Washu will still want to do her own deep scan, as she does with Seina. Compared to her equipment, the GP is like an Earth computer.

The only physical scan that is used is a fingerprint, they don't use retinal scanners.

[PCHeintz72]

Shrugs... I did not mean they needed it strictly for health, but despite a lack of health concerns.

But even if the only ID needed is fingerprint, as I stated would by physics be messed up. Even were the pattern identical, the hands themselves would not be the same size.

In any case, that you have him registered as female matters little to me in the long run, I stated my thoughts on it, but it is your story, and is not a big enough thing for me to care about.

I do agree on Washu doing her own scans (she enjoys it far too much), but thought she would have requested initial scans for research beforehand or if seeing anything obvious.

No matter... I look forward to more.

[Dumbledork]

Will Ranma ever lose his Mihoshiphobia? And will we learn one day what Mihoshi did to the poor boy?

[PCHeintz72]

Will Ranma ever lose his Mihoshiphobia? And will we learn one day what Mihoshi did to the poor boy?

Actually... He reminds me of Mihoshi's partner Kiyone in the Universe TV continuity.

EDIT:
I could picture, with Ranmas luck, and him being from Earth, having been partnered with Mihoshi post graduation.

That of course could not happen here in this story unless Jurai wanted a liason officer to coordinate between their command and GP command.

Revised portion

“Uh, shouldn't I get some hot water?” She asked Airi, exiting the scanning device.

“Not really.” The green haired woman answered. “That is, all the genetic information for your male form, was readable by the scanner. So unless your male form has physical problems or issues you think we should know about? No physical deformities, disease, or injuries?”

“No nothing like that.”

“Then there's no reason you need to get wet.

“Nice throw Ranma-chan.” Airi commented, nodding her head in approval.

“I-- just remembered I have a class!” The pink haired man said from where he was laying against the wall upside down. “Seina-kun, I look forward to seeing you in class.” He tried to threaten from his position.

“Just go.” Airi pointed towards the exit.

“Right.” The man righted himself, gathered up all the dignity he could, and then calmly walked away from them.

“Who was he?” Seina asked, confused over the situation.

“He doesn't have any relatives on Earth does he?” Ranma added, considering a family of loons that she knew.

“He's a GP Academy instructor.” Airi answered.

“Instructor? Him?!” Seina boggled.

“Yes, I'll tell you on the way, we have a decent walk to the transporter tubes. This way.” Airi motioned for them to follow.

Ranma was once again taken back by just how big the space station was. Their path took them down a long hallway. It was easily ten meters tall, and a good five meters wide, with small plants running down the center of the walkway. To the left was a window into space, to the right, a viewscreen showing off a grass valley with mountains off in the distant.

“His name is Tennan Seiryo. He's actually a very talented member of the GP, and at one time he was also a candidate suitor for the Juraian Royal Family.” Airi explained. “He's on the border between a lunatic and genius. Things were alright while he was walking that fine line, but then he lost to Tenchi-chan in a duel, and he's been proclaiming his hatred for Earthlings ever since. Personally I've taken a liking to him.”

“Tenchi-chan?” Seina seemed to recognize the name. “Do you mean--?”

“Of course I meant Masaki Tenchi.”

“But why would he get into a fight with Tenchi-senpai?” Seina continued.

“That's true you don't know.” Airi put a finger to her lips. “Ah! I know.” The Chairwoman pushed both of them down on a bench seat, and hit a button on her wrist, causing a meter square viewscreen to pop up with a family tree on it. “Ready? Okay, the offspring of Azusa, the current king of Jurai, and his 1st wife Funaho is Yosho. He also happens to be my husband.” Airi pointed to each name on the drawing.

“So then Yosho ran into some trouble on Earth, and then he had a grandson, Tenchi-chan. Incidentally, the mother of Azusa's second wife Misaki, is Seto, whom you've already met. Do you understand?”

“Wait wait wait, he has two wives?” Ranma asked worriedly.

“Indeed, polygomy is quite common.”

“Eeee.” Ranma looked around worriedly, sensing some kind of inpending doom if Akane, Shampoo, or Ukyo ever found out about this.

“Uh, in other words, that makes you Tenchi-senpai's, Grandmother?” Seina figured, Airi's face turning into a frightful sneer as she got into the boy's face.

“DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME GRANDMOTHER!” The woman barked harshly.

“Sorry!” Seina fell backwards off the chair, and Ranma jumped several meters away from the suddenly scary woman.

“Ahem.” Airi stepped away and dismissed the viewscreen. “We should get going.”

Ranma mentally catalogued the reaction away should she feel the need to mess with the woman. But she would be prepared to run for her life if she did, if that was how the Chairwoman reacted to even the slightest mention of the word.

Ranma mentally catalogued the reaction away should she feel the need to mess with the woman. But she would be prepared to run for her life if she did, if that was how the Chairwoman reacted to even the slightest mention of the word.

“So, um, that means that Kiriko-san and Kai both have some relationship to that Juraian family?” Seina asked, sensing that Airi had calmed down.

“Yes, though Kai likely doesn't know it, and I'll warn you in advance, don't tell him. I hear all the others are looking forward to when and how they'll break the news to him.” Airi answered. “And Kai is Kiriko's younger brother.” The woman added, seeing that Ranma was a little lost on the name.

Coming to a break in the viewscreen wall, they entered into a long room. At the close end were two counters with a woman tending to one, and down at the far end were a series of changing rooms. “Shall we throw on the finishing touches before we head down?” Airi smiled pleasantly.

“Clothes?” Ranma asked, watching a group of four girls bring several sets up to the lady in the front.

“Of course, or did you think you would attend the Academy in those?” Airi laughed, approaching the wall, and bringing up a viewscreen and keyboard. “Please take a room, and I'll materialize your clothes inside.”

Stepping into one of the change rooms, the door slid shut behind her. 'Hopefully I can get my stuff from Earth soon.' Inside the room was a quarter circle seat in one of the corners, and on the opposite side was a squared table, that as Ranma was looking at, materialized a set of clothes. 'Let's see what kind of crap they gave me.'

Ranma was confused by what had appeared, discarding the underwear, she held up the white pants, which looked to be about ten sizes too big. Throwing them to the side, she found a long sleeved shirt like Minaho had been wearing on the Mikagami, the only real decoration being on it, was the green collar, and large golden button. Unfortunately, it was just as monstrously big. Completing the set was the same overcoat, but the base color was a very light green, and with a dark green border. Which, the same as everything but the underwear, was also rediculously big.

Hitting the button to open the door, she held up the overcoat. “Hey, you screwed up, these are girl clothes, and they are way too big.”

“Oh, don't worry, you just hit the gold button on the shirt, and it will automatically resize for you.” Airi answered.

“Really? Sounds useful.” She took a second to think about how useful such a thing was for the Jusenkyo cursed. “But why are they for a girl?”

Airi gave her a confused look for a second, before smiling. “I thought you knew, you were registered, and enrolled as a female.”
