"What have you done to me!"

A logical reaction. You expected this.

"I have combined you with the essence of an animal." You casually explain to him.

"What ... why would you do that?"

You paced around the table, explaining your goals to him.

"The world has very few creatures in it, my dear. Every day, many species go extinct, but none are added to it. This is my way or repairing that error. With you, I have given nature a new species. One that is based on the human, the most successful species to date, and I have improved on it."

Your victim was annoyed.

He narrowed her eyes and calmly said "You ... improved me?"

"Yes! With this new body you have enhances speed, greater stamina, improved hearing. You are better then you have ever been before."

You had thought he would rejoice, but instead he swung his tail and slapped it into your face.

"What did you do that for?" You asked.

"No reason."

You didn't inquire any further. At least you were happy he didn't sting you instead.

"So ... am I going to remain strapped to this table then?"

"No, you can walk around if you like. As long as you don't leave this room, you should be safe."

With a wave of your hands, the straps unfastened themselves. The man slowly pulled himself up to a sitting position, and then just stared at you.

"You're probably dying to study your creation, aren't you." He told you "Go ahead. Study me."

"My my ..." You responded. "Quick to business, are you."

"I just figured the sooner you're done with it, the sooner you'll stop bothering me."

Like he offered, you begun your examination. It all looked very promising, but at some point he managed to take a hold of your arm. Ordinarily this would not have meant much, but he squeezed his hand so tight, it felt like you were caught in a pincer.

When you asked him to let go of you, he momentarily squeezed even harder. He might not have the claws of a scorpion, but his hands sure were strong enough to serve as them.

But you were happy, your experiment was a huge success. However now, you had a scorpion-man to deal with.
