Mad Science & You: Week 6 (Tuesday, Period 3)
This week, the Danger Shop had been set up to look like a lush tropical island covered with thick rain forests. It must have been somewhere near the equator, since the air was hot and muggy. Strange noises kept coming from deeper inside the forest.
"I hope you had a nice time with your parents this weekend," said Prof Tomoe. "I'm sure you're all eager to shoot something after being forced to spend time with unwelcome relatives, so we'll hopefully give you the chance to do so today.
"This," he said, motioning around them, "is the island of Dr Moreau, one of the pioneers in the field of animal/human genetic manipulation. Intentional genetic manipulation, that is; not like Dr Delambre. Dr Moreau accomplished much of his earliest work through vivisection, the act of cutting animals apart while still alive, and then stitching creatures together. However, since it's highly unlikely that any of you are skilled surgeons of that calibre, we're going to be tackling this subject through other means."
He lead the class down to the beach, where a trio of strange animals were tied up next to a crate of science-fiction-y looking laser guns.
"For today's lesson, we'll be using these. They should be simple enough, even for you. Point at one animal. Fire. Point at a second animal. Fire. Watch the two be fused together into one creature. Any questions?" He paused for a minute, before carrying on.
"I've provided a few sample animals, to give you some ideas for your own projects. I have here a half-pony/half-moneky creature. Next to it is a mixed shark/octopus, or skartopus . And this one combines the DNA of both a man and a mosquito. A Mansquito, if you would."
He passed the crate of laser guns to the nearest student. "So, take a gun, and go explore the forests of the island. Bring me back at least one compound creature by the end of class." He grinned wickedly. "Try not to hit your fellow students, although I won't punish you if you do."
He pulled a doll-sized version of the same gun out of one the pockets in his lab coat and reached down. "And this is for you, Miss Clock."

Re: Class Activity
So far, his favorite was the brahma bullfinch. But he still wasn't quite sure how he was going to get it back to show the Professor.
Re: Class Activity
Arietty was almost disappointed he'd provided a Borrower sized gun. She would have loved an excuse to not do this activity.
