Advanced Mad Science, November 6
Prof Tomoe's lab looked about the same as usual this week. Well, except for the chickens penned up next to the lab tables. And the giant, oversized lasers pointed at said chickens.
"Good afternoon, students!" he said cheerfully. "Today we're going to be talking about my speciality: genetic engineering. Back when I was a regular, respectable scientist with a loving family and millions of dollars in research grants, I earned my PhD in genetic engineering. I could bore you with talk about formulae and long chemical diagrams and the nitty gritty about how to combine and mutate genetic material, but I'd rather have you get to the fun part quicker: manipulating DNA."
He pointed to one of the oversized lasers. " This is called a Transmogrifier Ray, and can be used to manipulate genetic code from one thing to another. I've preloaded all the ones in this lab with DNA from common animals, and I want you to try them out."
He picked up one of the chickens and positioned it under the ray. "If you hit the Full Power button--" He hit a large red button, and the chicken turned into a pig with a loud ZAP. "--you'll change the animal's complete DNA. If you hit the Half Power button--" He pressed a blue button. There was a loud BOINK sound, and the pig sproued a pair of feathery chicken wings. "--you'll only change part of the animal's DNA."
He grabbed the winged pig as it tried to fly off, and locked it in a pen with a roof. "Your goal for this class is to end up with a half-pony half-monkey hybrid, but if you can come up with something more creative, so be it."
