But as it turns out, it is really hard to dispose of something that can hug you, look you in the eye, and say, 'I love you daddy'.""She could do that as a baby?"
>"Of course not! With a genius like me, of course it didn't long for me to figure out her intelligence, and from there it was just teaching her words and the alphabet like any other kid.">You couldn't stop staring at the picture."How did she go from that to taking up a room?"
>"Funny story. When I was putting the genes together, I threw in lots of other animals, you know, really mixed it up.""But wasn't it kind of... reckless?"
>"Like you would know, mister 'I got kissed by a kaiju.' Sometimes some recklessness is just what we need. That's why you still have a job.">He puffed up his chest and stood up a little straighter.>"I like to take a few chances, get a little messy for science. Sure there were some screwups along the way, but the result can't be denied!""Doctor, you might want to sit back down in your chair."
>"Yeah. Anyway, the remarkable thing about kaiju genetic material is how resilient it is, and at the same time, how easily it changes. It's like genetic sculpting puddy! You just play with it. The kaiju all have the same base, but how their makers change them is what I need to find out. We just don't know how they pull it off... yet.">He began to scroll through other pictures, quickly as he continued to excitedly retell what he already put in more than a few reports.>"So instead, I had to use other DNA sources to try and remove the genes responsible for the hivemind link and replace it with something else!">There was a picture of the kaiju horse monster with a tennis ball in her mouth, pleadingly looking up past the camera.>"It was kind of a crapshoot, but hey, it worked."
