"That's the interesting part. When I grafted her new Rune Core onto the original, I had to program an animal form to its energy signature because I had to use Spark energy to do it, otherwise it would have been rejected by the original Core.  When I did, I had to use a humanoid form that had animalistic traits, but one that had a wealth of input material..."

"There he goes..." Aegis sighs.

"...So we both chose a form together. In this case it was a Jinko.  In programming the traits into the new Rune Core, I had to input as much personal information that I could find, and in this case it was the thirty-six volume set of Zhu Xiaoyu's 'Lightning in the Rain.'  It was an ancient Jinko's autobiography, where she recorded her philosophy on life and her martial arts.  So, you can say she already has combat programming, and a lot more."

As I've been talking, Aegis and Lucida have been roughhousing, mimicking my speech.
