An elderly humanoid sat with his legs crossed, hovering above a field of red glass spheres in a dark chamber surrounded by steel walls that were covered with cybernetic circuit patterns. Dr. Lychee had a misshapen, partly swollen side of the head while the other side still fostered patches of grey hair. On the back of his scalp, hair was plentiful, and the cybernetically augmented Tsufurian had a thick grey beard, suggesting that he hadn't been spending anywhere near the same amount of time tending to his personal hygiene as he was upgrading himself and working on his master plan.

The hovering Tsufurian scientist was facing a colossal machine with a pink skin-like substance and red armor that covered his legs and the upper parts of his body and transitioned into a tall helmet that stretched over the machine's oval-shaped head and held a massive green jewel embedded onto its forehead. The appearance of the armor was solid, yet it looked as if it had solidified in a droopy-like state, giving the monstrous automaton the appearance as if someone had poured his armor down in a molten state on it and solidified after already being applied. His skin had similar problems as, around its waist, it failed to wrap around the entire body and hung connected on slim grafts over darker, fleshy patches of the body of the cybernetic organism.

One of Dr. Lychee's eyes was red, whereas the other one was whited out. The red eye lit up and shot out a ray of light that it cast on the slumbering mechanical marvel in front of the Tsufurian scientist. Reacting to the signal, Dr. Lychee turned around and cast the light from his eye onto the many red orbs scattered on the floor that gave the laboratory a major ball pit vibe. The cast light cast upward in a humanoid shape of a blue-skinned scientist with orange hair and mustache and night-blue lenses for eyes.

"Dr. Myuu, I have continued my transmission of Destron Gas on a Planet called Earth. I have accumulated some highly sensitive data. One of the Destron Gas monsters believed that these seven orange marbles with red stars on them located on that planet have the ability to grant one their wish. Upon studying the energy signature these artifacts emit, I have come to the conclusion that while I cannot confirm their wish-granting properties, they possess some capabilities of bending reality to their whim individually. If by coming together they amplify that signature exponentially, maybe granting one their wish is indeed possible," Dr. Lychee reported to the Machine Mutant scientist.

"That is brilliant news, Dr. Lychee!" Dr. Myuu exploded with vigor. "Then by collecting these Earthling artifacts, we could, in theory, resurrect your long-lost Tsufurian race!"

"I do not intend to resurrect the Tsufurian race. It would be a pointless waste of the boundless potential of these artifacts," Dr. Lychee shook his head slowly.

"B-But... Dr. Lychee... Wasn't resurrecting the Tsufurian race the entire point of the Four-Star Plan?" Dr. Myuu scratched the golden plating on his scalp looking baffled by the ruthlessness of the creator of him and the entire Machine Mutant race.

"The point of the Four-Star Plan is to carry on the Tsufurian legacy into the future and showcase the boundless potential of our intelligence to the universe. I have given up on that stubborn race of impotent diplomats when they exiled me from their planet and labeled my work "a perversion of the natural order". If they had accepted my proposal of cybernetically enhancing their bodies, as I have done, they too would have lived on to this day and not gotten crushed by the Saiyans. In fact, Dr. Myuu, I can hardly blame the Saiyans for snuffing out the Tsufurians. They are, after all, a primitive and violent race of thrashing apes. Flinging turds and junk and breaking things is the entire potential of their race. It is just, as my foolish peers have called it... "Natural order"..." Dr. Lychee looked down, almost appearing as if he longed for those days when he worked alongside the brightest of Tsufurian minds before his exile but then he turned his dichromatic eyes back up.
