FIGURE M GETS A BODY!!!

by. Mr. David R. Dorrycott

'Kalith' called Snowaters through her implant. 'Have you been able to prove who brought me aboard the Klipper?'

<Yes I have. It appears to have been a creator named S. Minstrel, the person who created Blue Duck & Figure M> it replied.

'Darn, can't do anything against a creator, I hope he gets married and has lot's of kids.' She fumed, walking back and forth across the Diamond's Bridge. "I gotta think of some way to get back at him" she muttered.

<Well, there are his characters.>

'Mmmmmm... Blue Duck. Can't think of a thing. M now, for it I do have a solution. Do I have a twelve to fifteen year old clone ready?' Snowaters grinned. "Oh yes, I do have something for that little wire framed trouble maker."

<Yes. An age fourteen. Educational level post High School. Why. Are you planning on becoming a child again?>

‘Oh no' she answered. 'At least not for a few years. Are any of my personal memories implanted yet?'

<None. That implantation normally begins at age sixteen. What DO you have in mind Lady?>

She giggled at her thought. 'Next time M transports to or from the ship I want you to copy its mind into that clone, then decant the clone and transport it to a random empty cabin in the Klipper. Can do?'

<Easy. This has possibilities. But are you sure you want a fourteen year old copy of yourself running around the Klipper?>

'It may be difficult, but I think the humor will outweigh the difficulties' she answered. 'Let me remember, age fourteen, hormones at a raging level if I remember rightly.'

<Yes. A little over two years after puberty hormonal levels approaching maximum. As I remember you were chasing everything with skirts around that time. Shall I implant standard 'This is my body' data?>

'Of course, what fun would it be having to potty train a fourteen year old? Full body self awareness a fourteen year old would normally have.' She paused thinking, then smiled. 'Clothing! Do we still have my old clothes from our last visit to the Earth two hundred years ago?'

'Yes' she decided. 'And a tap into the room from behind all mirrors, on tape. Now, about ...........'

Several days later M was wandering around bored, for M this was intolerable. 'What do, what do' it thought. Suddenly, inspiration struck. 'I use transporter pop in Rachelle's room, bypass Harry's spells!!! Ohhh... FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN.....' it decided, rubbing its hands together. Quickly M headed for the nearest transporter room and prepared to have fun.

<Gotcha.>

Several hours later M woke up laying in a bed. "ohhh.. head hurt, horrible taste in mouth" it said. "WHAT?!? What wrong with voice??? I got's fur???" Dragging itself out of the bed it staggered into the bathroom and looked into the mirror....

It was later said the scream could be heard all the way from the engine rooms to the Bridge.

"AAaahhhhhhhhhh...... I A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!"

On the Diamond Kalith watched Snowaters rolling on the deck, laughter filling the room. <I fail to see the humor in this situation although it has possibilities> it said.

Snowaters quieted down, drying her eyes. She slowly sat up. "M's a teenage girl!"

<Yes, so?>

"Well, its also still M right?"

<Yes. That is what has the possibilities.>

"Well, M the girl meets M the stick figure right? And what is M the girl wearing?" she asked.

<Your old. OH! Yes that is funny!> Kalith replied. <It will be very humorous seeing the crews reactions to M. The girl. In a Go-Go dancers outfit.>
