Snippet from my WiPpet
The Girls From Alcyone II: Vengeance
For those not familiar with TGfA, here's the premise in a nutshell: Taken from her home as a young girl, Sigrid Novak is one of a select and highly trained group of genetically (and bionically) enhanced girls. Both hunted and coveted (as a military asset and scientific curiosity), Sigrid and her friends have fled fled the Federation to make a new life for themselves on a secret and distant planet (a secret that, perhaps, won't stay secret for long). 

This Week - Medical Reports (yay): Prior to their departure for Crucis, Hitomi and Dr. Garrett discuss the latest rounds of tests on the girls, and the implications of the new data for one girl in particular (omg! who are they talking about?).
  

Dr. Garrett squirmed uncomfortably in her chair. "The results, while varying from subject to subject, were not unexpected—there's a reason each of these girls was selected. You saw the data, yourself, you saw what happened during Activation. The results were extraordinary."
Hitomi's eyes were fixed on the pad before her. "But the variancesuch extremes—"
"Hitomi-san, we knew she was special. But even I hadn't anticipated the results, and—"
"Andshe's still developing, still growing," Hitomi said, finishing the thought. "She's still changing."
Almost breathlessly, Dr. Garrett answered, "Yes."
