Blinded Me With Science

Rain gave a last look at his creation as the lioness brought it to his attention and sighed. “Sadly I don’t think it will work at all.”He muttered despondently. There were so many creations he wished to test with no way of trying them on the small test subjects he had accumulated and with the ban on testing on the primates that frequented the castle it didn’t seem likely that would change. He glanced at the lioness, the gears in his mind turning slowly as he regarded her and his ear flicking slightly as a new thought came to him.
