"Follow me and I'll bring you to the testing b to see whats going on with that egg." Samantha said casually before leading the way through the building. Like the name of the building expihe pce was a huge sce b effectively that was separated by the fields of research with Samantha's being ohird floing dowairs. "Why don't you have aor or teleporter?" I asked after we walked dowairs. "First is for easier tai as each floor has a sealihod that keeps the more dangerous things here from getting out actally."-

  "The sed was that those w here rarely have time to get proper exercise so these stairs allow at least a small amount to be had." Samantha expined casually and I nodded in uanding. Soo to her b and she pointed out a device that I didn't reize that had a rge cushioned spa the middle of it. "Pce the egg in the empty space there so I get a s of it's geic code to see what we are w with here." she said and I was slightly surprised but irely since ing from DNA was a thing here.-

  Opening my satchel I carefully extracted the egg from the incubation pocket and pced it in the mae. Birch , Watson and Samantha all exami closely when I did. "That is certainly a strange design on the egg and the mix of colors and size are all off for the Feebas species." Birch said seriously and Samantha nodded in agreement. "Give it a moment to fully map out the geic code of the egg and then pare it to the sample of a normal Feebas we have on file." Samantha said as she started typing and clig on a puter nearby.-

  The maes chamber light up softly as the mae whirred and did it's thing. A few mier the results came in and Samantha looked them over with a frown. "Well I have some good news and bad news so which do you all want first?" she asked seriously. "I've found that it's best to take the bad before the good , helps curb to stress of it." Watson said aher Birch or I argued. "Well the bad news is that there is indeed human interferenvolved here."-

  "I'm not talking minorly either because I pretty easily figure out how I got these results and frankly the one or ones responsible are either psychopaths or idiots , maybe both. Do you know how variants are born normally?" She asked and Birch piped up "A correct mix of geid enviroal factors correct?" he said and she nodded. "Yep but whoever did this chose to instead extract the geipo for every known variation and forcefully ihem into the mother of this egg , likely before it evolved into a Milotic. Geics is a fine and precise subject but this approach was brutal and likely highly fatal in almost all cases it was used in."-

  "See each body is built with a very specifiumber of gehat varies from individual to individual but it is always the same ones in a different order each time barring natural mutations which are only theoretical at the moment sihere has never been a recorded case. Anyways by forcefully adding duplicates of genes like this the geic structure of the body is forcefully restituted to aodate them as there was now too many genes in one body. Do this with a human ah is the only oute."-

  "However pokemon have an inbuilt safety meism that would grant a ce for survival , evolution. The mother of this egg was forced to evolve in order to survive the geic restructuring and the shiny gene became dominant in it while the rest of the lingering ges likely caused madness and agony at all times. Hence while I said only an idiot or a psycho would do this , it's ineffit and wasteful with no real ce of success." She broke it down for us and we all looked disgusted when we uood what had been done.-

  "You said there was good news as well?" Watson asked and Samantha nodded. "I'll be blunt with you all , this egg is a miracle given physical form. Somehow the mother had resisted the madness long enough to mate and create it which I tell you is so low probability wise that it's difficult to put in words. But even more insanely all those extra geics had fused together as a result of the mothers unstable geics being mixed with the fathers stable ohis egg possesses a brand new variation that is like no other in the world and likely will never be seen after it dies assuming that is even possible anymore." she said seriously.-

  "Any clue what I should expect with this new variation?" I asked seriously as I had an idea what to expect from the normal variation but this was unexplored territory. "Well you know how I said it was a fusion of all of the other variations?" She asked and I nodded. "Well what I mean is that certain traits from each variation was taken while the rest were discarded but frankly speaking I have no idea what traits exactly it was that were taken only that they were positive in nature." she answered in a frustrated manner.-

  I could uand why she was frustrated as for a stist not knowing something like this was absolutely not a fun feeling. "Well if it helps I have been told to make regur reports otle ones growth and abilities for the league so you should end up with the information at some point." I said and she sighed and shook her head. "That isn't why I am frustrated , it's that I 't keep the little thing myself si was already promised to you! This thing is like the perfect partner for a biologist like me I'm so jealous!" she said losing her cool as she pined.-

  I genuinely ughed at that as it was su ued thing that I couldn't help being amused. Watson seemed the most surprised however but not by Samantha but rather from me ughing. "Oh so this is what he meant by rec. Good for you d." He said with a smile. Birch looked fused at the ent but I stiffened when I heard it as I knew what he was referring to. For a split sed the thought of killing him crossed my mind and Watson picked up on it as he backed up in a defensive position with spearing on his face.-

  I saw this and apologized "Sorry about that! You just triggered my defensive instincts when you said that. I don't like it when my business gets spread around like that so I will be speaking to Stone about it when we are done here." I said and Watson looked like he uood. "Lad I uand why your mind would jump to that dire but try not to give old folks like me such a fright." He said jokingly to cut the tension.
