Ed's surroundings start to slow down as his superpower begins to take effect. The room begins to fill with the different traits of Dr. Battisa, His family history, his genetics, and even his personal goals for life.
As Ed looks around he begins to realize that he doesn't just want to steal Dr. Battisa's hairiness. He wants to be like him in a much more personal way. Edward decides he wants to try experimenting with his power. He pulls out his Chronivac and starts to look at some of the detailed programs within it. He can do this of course, because time is currently frozen due to him not stealing or copying any of Dr. Battisa's traits.
He finally finds the program he is looking for "Genetic Linking". He then points the chronivac at Dr. Battisa, then puts himself in the program. Ed then drags himself into a portrait under Dr. Battisa. He changes the relationship from "Student, Teacher" to "Son, Father". Then a screen pops up that says "Confirm Genetic Link?" Ed then clicks "Confirm".
Ed makes it so that he will retain his memories both of his new life and his old, that way he won't forget himself. He set the duration for twenty-four hours.
Ed then went back into place still gripping Dr. Battisa's hand.
Suddenly time catches back up. A slight shock of electricity ends their handshake. Dr. Battisa puts his hand of Ed's shoulder, something that he would never have done as a teacher and then sends Ed off. Ed ponders when he will begin to notice the changes.
