That's true, we would have to make it so it only activates when ki is actually put into it, rather than have it automatically extracting it. That way it could also be powered by several people, reducing the strain... Assuming that mingling people's ki doesn't make the energy explosive, that is. I will have to look into that and study it in more detail.

[Her hands move almost on their own will before she stops and looks around. Oh, right, this is Bulla's room not her laboratory back home or even her own room.]

Mind if I use one of your notebooks at pens, dear? I want to write this all down.

[Not that she would forget but she prefers to write those ideas down for further study later on.]

Well, several people's ki can go into one person without it being explosive...so I think it could be done.

[Admittedly, a person could consciously adjust themselves to the ki they were receiving, but she has faith in her mother's technology being similarly adaptable.]

Sure. Don't mind all the fashion scribbles. I don't think I have a single notebook that doesn't have at least a few of them.

[She has more than one - some pages outlining Fashion Club meeting plans, and others that she just writes down ideas in and doodles in. She finds one and a pink pen.]

Here, Mom. This one has a few completely blank pages.

[Bulma smiles and nods at her daughter, taking the notebook and the pen and starting scribbling right away.]

Thanks, Bulla. When I was your age my notebooks were also full with fashion scribbles and blueprints.

[She laughs at the memory, whoever looked at them without knowing her would have probably been quite confused by how they seemed to be used by two people instead of just one. Dresses and more specially hairdo ideas surrounded and lived together complex blueprints and mathematical calculations as she worked in a new invention while wondering what hairdo would be the best for her the next month.]

It's true that when ki enters a person it isn't dangerous, but that's because the person can adjust to the ki received, right? Accept it and combine it with its own. I'm not sure how we could get a machine to adjust the ki it would have stored already and combine it with the new ki entering it.

Hmm, maybe if rather than doing it one by one several people poured ki into it at once... Or maybe we could just make several ki storing compartments. That could work, several motors built into one, taping on the ki stored depending on how it's needed. What do you think?

[She can only imagine that odd combination of fashion and engineering in her mother's notebook. It probably would have been quite a sight. Bulla's notebooks have no calculations or blueprints in them. Her grasp of technology is well above average and she can follow instructions to do repairs others would require training in, but she doesn't have the genius level intellect to create advanced technology. Her understanding is still reasonably advanced for a teenager, though. Enough that she can have conversations like these with her genius mother.]

I think ki storing compartments would be a great idea. Then it could be fueled over time on peaceful days...but maybe have just a little spark of ki needed for starting it up? That would make it a lot harder for someone to randomly steal it. Especially if you programmed it to only allow it to be started up by the ki of people we know.

[It would be a shame, after all, to have the machine fully charged and then one of the stockholders (or more than likely a hired thug) take off with it.]

[It's refreshing, to be able to do something like this with someone who isn't her father and who can actually provide ideas and pointers. That said someone is her daughter only makes it better. She nods in agreement to what Bulla says.]

True, if we go with storing compartments and charge it slowly we run the risk of it being stolen... Assuming they get past your father and our home's security measures.

[Which is unlikely but certainly a possibility, and Bulma isn't known for ignoring those things.]

I'm not sure if I could create a system of ki recognition, I know that each ki is different, and that's how you all can recognize people just by their ki, but translating that to a machine reading may be harder. And this project would be too big and important to just do a halfassed job like some laboratories do with DNA tests. Maybe we can change it to an iris recognition combined with something else... Oh, maybe combine it with a DNA recognition for saiyans, that way you would need two people to activate it even, one allowed user whose iris is registered and a saiyan.

[And given that the only saiyans available are either in her family or in Goku's family, it's quite impossible for someone to be able to steal the machine. Sure, fooling Goku wouldn't be hard, but it's something she can prevent by making sure that no one will use the machine without her permission and active presence. Unless they cloned her, which would be annoying, but she has to admit that if someone is willing to go through so many troubles and risks for the machine they may deserve to use it.

Besides... A somewhat evil smirk comes to her lips as she scribbles quickly.]

And, of course, a remote control that will allow us to destroy the machine at distance and even through dimensions, in case someone actually manages to steal it in our world or another.

[It would be a waste and a pity but if someone is willing to go through so many loops to steal one of her creations? She's willing to destroy it to avoid them to steal it. Besides, if she has built it once she can build it again.]
