*Had she the time, Switch would have been surprised as she appeared to fly up off the ground with her feet still firmly planted. She acted immediately upon hearing the command, the lights on her cannon pulsing faster than ever as she turned the now giant weapon to its highest power setting, aimed directly into the glowing port and shot off a rapid-fire blast that reverberated metallically around the open space...*
*Derek nods.* Alright then, two extra limbs it'll be...
*He pans away from the 3D compy's head, rotating the view to center on its shoulders. He makes some more adjustments to the DNA strand, the compy's shoulder blades splitting in two, extra bones appearing one by one as he continues to add blocks to the strand, soon forming two more identical arms protruding from behind its original shoulder blades. He then rotates them upward, adjusting certain blocks to increase the size and strength of the two rear arms, making them capable of supporting the saurian's whole weight. He finds the genetic code for the new arms' second and third fingers and does the same thing, adjusting them to the right length, the armspan now wider than the compy is long.*
Derek: Now to flesh it out a little...
*Scrolls through the DNA strand for a moment before rearranging or replacing a specific few blocks, the skin covering the compy's fingers stretching far enough to finally connect the fingers in fleshy webbing that also connects the last finger to the compy's flank. Then he moves the view to the compy's original arms and lengthens them as well to match its back legs, modifying its wrists to be better suited for walking. He then zooms out and goes into general properties, turning the compy's skin a dark red color with a row of thin black stripes running down its back.*
Derek: How's that so far?
Sy: I don't know your real names, but if you want to take plane names for the time being, like those two, you can be called Arrow and Skylark.
*Turns and starts toward the break in the force field, glancing back over her shoulder.*
Sy: Care to wait with the others? I think your comrades have something they'd like to do in here...
*Skyhawk and Centurion trot over to the much larger Aero-Sauro and sit on their haunches beside him, Hurricane just looking passively down at them...*
