I have only one thing to say to this:

I swear one of these days I'm going to catch up! For some reason I keep reading pieces here and there because the titles catch my eye hehe. These are so fantastic!

Poor little Nekomimi! Gerald says he sees explosions in the future. Miyuki is such a sweet girl, even if she does want to kill Hyacinth.

Poor Cora(and Penny) I'm a little surprised by how well Miyuki is dealing with this. All "this is totally normal" without a freakout or memory relapse of "why is this totally normal?!?!"

Well, if you look at how Cora and just read her dialogue without the lab images and your knowledge of where she comes from, it actually doesn't sound as "sinister" as we know it to be. To Miyuki it really could sound like Penny fell ill, perhaps was at a Dr., etc... Besides, Miyuki is the sort, I believe, who will think first of the person she is comforting and then about her own reaction to what has happened.

So... we have former Lab experimental subjects, Keiko and Habiki the two that Miyuki mentioned being "taken to the Clinic" when she was talking to AnnaMarie on the phone (while being loaded onto the plane). Miyuki herself (That's the three the labworker mentioned when he said "Third times's a charm" and now we have Mittens, Cora and Penny.

And yes, Cora and Penny *are* the two who were terrorizing Mittens. Surely they should've known that Mittens was also from the Lab. Yet they were angry when she brought only kibble for lunch.

I'd bet anything that they aren't just trying *one* experiment, but many. While I know nothing about Keiko or Habiki (other than that they may be the ones who disappeared in-transit) I DO know that Miyuki has had her memory enhanced. She has eidetic memory and is highly intelligent.

Mittens had part of her "pancakes" removed, resulting in diabetes. She is smaller than all the other test experiments (with the possible exception of Keiko and Habiki) and does not speak aloud. She had a wound, bandaged, on her abdomen. So while they may have been working on Miyuki's nervous system (the neck area) and brain(?) She did have bandages on her head) they are working on Mittens' internal organs.

With Cora and Penny, we have two larger than normal nekomimis ("Cora's huge! She can hit the ball a ton!" - Miyuki) who are also aggressive, but seemingly not voluntarily. "It's like there's someone else living inside of me" -- Cora.

My guess is.. military applications. Trying for a cyber-interface (Miyuki) or enhanced intelligence with implants ("Thre are so many anomalies in that poor child" -- Hazel) Not sure WHAT with Mittens, and aggressiveness and size (possibly remote controlled fighters?) with Cora and *possibly* Penny.

Now Penny seems to have suffered a bleed-out (Pulmonary hemorrhage?) OR gastric bleeding with aspiration of the blood... lungs more likely as gastric bleeds are usually characterized by vomiting.

The other possibility (if nekomimi have the same internal physiology as we do) would be an aneurysm (blow-out) of one of the pulmonary blood vessels or the entry point of the aorta.

Aneurysm, however relies on a weakening of the layers of blood vessels. FAR less likely in a young individual than in an adult and my money is on some sort of experimental error. Improperly sutured vessels, instrument left in the wound, etc.

Well... also the numbering. Up until Mittens, it seemed to go in alphabatical sequence
H - Habiki K - Keiko M - Miyuki M- Mittens P - Penny... but where does Cora fit in? O-something? Or possibly Q and they used Cora becxause they couldn't come up with a good Q female name. (and just calling her "Q" might REALLY freak Miyuki, the Star Trek fan!)

Of course Miyuki WAS MK-9. I'd bet Mittens is MT-# something.

Speculation, all of it.

K2... PLEEEEASE update the Worlds of MADh Vinyl and also the bio page. Pleeeeeease?!

In the movie Tron: Legacy, Kevin Flynn's apprentice is named Quorra (pronounced Cora).

PLEEEEASE update the Worlds of MADh Vinyl and also the bio page. Pleeeeeease?!

Version 11 has been in the works for a number of months. Due to the spaghetti bowl nature of previous versions (and it's just getting worse), there will be some changes in the layout and the "connections" diagrammed.

Ack. Life happened and I haven't read any of these since #235. This is actually kind of awful. Are all the nekomimis test subjects? Wouldn't they all know about each other? Aren't the school officials at all concerned, or are they in on it? Why treat them as test subjects and simultaneously an "normal" school kids? So many questions.

edited to add - Ahh, so many answers in the MADh Vinyl Announcements section.
