Well, might as well toss in my 2 yen before Tybalt bans this thread. ^_^

I think something Barry has to look at is what KIND of creature Ifurita is.

>From Skuld's reaction, I'm assuming he's putting her somewhere along the
lines of say Data from ST:TNG after he had the emotion chip put in.
Somewhat more (and less) than human.  More in that like the androids of
ST:TNG, she's stronger, faster, smarter, etc...than a normal human being.
Less in that once you get under her skin, she's still synthetic components.
Now, this could lead to some interesting stuff later (take note Barry)
particularly if she desires to become fully human for Makoto.

As for Urd...well, I don't think she could really "reprogram" Ifurita that
way.  Yes, she is experienced in dealing with an incredibly powerful and
complex computer system.  It's also a computer system with a User Interface
that turns System Bugs into LIVING CREATURES!  In other words, we're talking
an EXTREMELY high-level UI.  That leaves me to believe that Urd the
code-jockey might not be as probable as you think.

Now Belldandy, maybe.  Skuld, definitely - she creates and programs mecha
for fun.  She'd probably be WAY out of her depth in dealing with Ifurita,
since Ifurita would probably see a reprogramming attempt as an attack, and
respond accordingly, but still....

Oh well...back to writing.  Combat scenes SUCK.
