The Girl looked at herself in the Mirror, checking if the Lab coat she was wearing, did cover her outfit. She took a few spins just to be sure. "Are you sure thats a good idea?" A voice behind her said. She made eye contact with the image in the Mirror. "You mean the Outfit or the demonstration?"



The Boy looked at her. "Both, to be honest. It only worked three times and you-" The Girl turned around. "I am what? Naive? Childish?" He stepped back. " The only one that can step in if the Machine breaks down, which you cant do, while being part of the demonstration." he added.



The Girl sighed. "Mike, it will work. And i prepared a emergency protocol in case something unexpected happens. You now as much about the Machine as there is to know. I believe that you can keep an eye on me." The Door to the Dressing room opened and a Girl stepped in. "Are you two still argueing about it?" Claire asked and handed both a soft drink. Mike and Reina nodded before taking a sip.



"Come on, she knows what she is doing. And as long as i am not the stand in, i am okay with that." Claire said and turned around. "Why isnt Claire doing the demonstration?" Mike asked. "Because she started to Cry when i tried to take her measurements for the Systemtest. Having her cry a river during the demo, wont gain us any more points. I am afraid of the opposite, secondly its to late anyway."



With that did Reina walk out of the Room and onto the Mess Area. After a Minute did she reach her Spot and checked on the Machine. Mike and Claire followed. "okay, ten more minutes and the Judges will get here." Claire guessed after spotting them two spots over.



"Okay, you two know your spots. Lets do a final check-" Reina said and leaned over the Machine she was about to show off. "I hope we arent to early?" the Judges interruppted her. With a smile did she stand up. "Certainly not, i just like to be careful." she started and stepped in front of the Machine.



"Well, Its a bit hard to explain without showing the Machine. But i developed with the help of my two Friends a machine that can create artificial cell connectivity. So it really is better to just show it in Action. " she said and opened the Labcoat, revealing the Bunny girl outfit she was wearing underneath. "I think that look is a bit more on brand with the Machine." she commented and sat down on the table. Sliding into the Machine till it was covering her waist.



Mike came over with a saw and placed it in a gab in the Machine. The Machine came fully to live. Reina felt the saw resting on her waist. "okay, i am ready to be sawn in h-." she stopped mid sentence and slid back out. "I nearly forgot. One of you needs to sign up first." She said and  Claire handed each of the Judges a skin friendly pen. "If you would be so nice to sign anywhere on her legs."



The Judges looked at the girl sitting on the Table and decided to play along and drew a few lines each. Then she slipped back in. Showing that drawings were still there. Mike then started to saw into the girl. She felt the Saw cut into her and hat to surpress how much it hurt. Thankfully did mike not draw it out. a handful strokes and the saw left her Back.



Claire placed two Blades in between the two halves. Mike and Claire than grabbed the two halves and pulled them apart. The Monitor behind them came to life and showed two crossections of a Body.



"Now, as you can see, i am clearly divided." she said and lifted her feet. Causing parts of the cross section to light up. "The Machine created two grids of my body where the saw cut through me and froze both sections in a set position. Allowing the Machine to later recombine my two halves. But for now. The Grid imitates the bloodflow in my lower half and sents signals from one half to the other. Creating the illusion that i am magically cut in half. But more importantly, this also works with other kinds of Injuries. Imagine someone starts to bleed out from a dangerous leg wound. With this machine the leg could be cut off and treated, while making sure that there is enough blood in the rest of the Body. And then it just comes back to putting both parts instantly back together."



On Cue, did Claire and Mike return the halves to their original position. The Machine powered down and Reina slipped back out. Showing that unlike her outfit, her waist was back in one piece. Only a red rash showed where the saw did its work. The judges looked at her waist. "How?" was all they said. "Uhm, should i show the math behind the Machine?" she asked after a minute.

"No, why does the outfit stay in place." did one of them finally ask. "oh, i knew, that the machine only repairs skind and i would flash everyone once my oufit is being ripped apart. So, i covered myself in fabric glue. Dont worry, its more skin friendly that my Machine. So, what is my Score?"



The Judges looked at eachother. "Well, it seems like no one managed to be as creative as you. Its a pleasure to declare you and your Team as the winners. But do us a favour and put something less divided on, before we take Pictures."
