Zakaku nods absentmindedly, looking over his clipboard again. "Yes, yes, good...but I may perhaps stay a bit longer after the meeting to arrange an appointment with you. To discuss releasing a certain subject from her cyropod...I don't believe I need to clarify who."

She'd been the first of two they'd picked up from a certain universe a few months ago, one of the first times Zakaku had been involved in capturing subjects. An artificial creation, a genetic fusion of mosquito and human DNA to create something far more interesting than either two combined. From what he'd been able to analyze, she was capable of doing great things in her prime - superhuman strength capable of rending metal, flight, the ability to severely increase the rate of cellular regeneration and her strength by absorbing blood, and quite possibly something similar to the ability the Makuta have (the ability he would have, if he wasn't stuck with this fleshy vessel) to control insects, albeit limited to mosquitos.

Quite a shame she was at death's door when they got her.

Her limbs had been mangled beyond recognition, her wings' membrane broken and useless, and what would have been a mosquito's abdomen had gotten a large gash; punctured like a fleshy balloon. Given that would have been where she'd store her blood, they couldn't use that to naturally prompt cellular regeneration, and even if they could, the amount of blood it would take to fix this sort of damage was massive. Not to mention the wounds were infected, because for some god-forsaken reason (as the expression goes among humans), she felt it neccessary to drag herself along the forest floor, either ignoring or numb to the pain she was putting herself through, muttering something about destroying humanity, a cyborg, and how a naked bald guy shouldn't be able to slap that hard. They had to surgically remove the abdomen - thankfully, she still had a human digestion system, so not being able to absorb blood wouldn't be an issue - the wings, the limbs, and, after she'd waken up partially through surgery due to a miscalculated dose of incapacitating agent and stabbed a poor intern with it, her probiscis. He'd replaced the limbs with prosthetics that seamlessly merged with her old body, as most of the beings in his universe had been biomechanical, and he did have a interest in his world's biology, but he had neither the resources nor the sheer idiocy required to have the prosthetics match her former strength. And considering there were no mosquitos here, for all intents and purposes, the subject had the same ability as a normal human.

Nevertheless, Zakaku would've appreciated the opportunity to gather more like the mysterious mosquito girl, since the universe she came from seemed to be filled to the brim with creatures like her, but alas, the Bibliotheca Universum couldn't, because not only was that universe one of the few who could detect them in spite of their cloaking generator (and knock it out somehow; he still wanted to look into how that happened but that was the job of the actual mechanics) but they were also a very aggressive universe once they were unveiled. The city block getting thrown at them by the psychic made that very clear. He'd been lucky to get the second subject minutes before they hightailed it out of there, even if that subject was merely an ordinary human. Further research after the fact showed that apparently the universe they'd visited been subject to an alien invasion a few months prior to their appearance. Made the aggression a bit more understandable.

Anyway; by now, Zakaku feels the body should have accepted the prosthetics, and naturally wants to run a few tests to see how she'll adapt...preferably while he's in an outside room. He doesn't doubt her ability to recognize his face, especially when he was leading the surgery in the first place, and as much as he dislikes his vessel's inability to channel a Makuta's power, he prefers it over evaporating without one.

But enough exposition about past encounters with other universes and Makuta biology! Meeting! Scientists! Xenomorph probably! Let's get the show going!
