CI is most likely carefully looking into ways to slightly modify the output of the machine... just to get a little bit more "variance". If the Puma mod is the result of an experiment with Charlie, I would be okay with this. Puma = stronger, larger, but a bit less fast than the normal catgirl mod?

Maybe someone tried to mix the Catgirling Machine with Squish-bots?

Just making the new biomod "better" in all things sounds wrong and boring.

The problem with delaying the CBM and Biomolding is that the techniques needed to create the wavetech production lines lead quickly to modifying the CGM.
Once the Fen have a CGM to examine, someone will note how the same techniques can be used for wavetech production and THAT is such a mind-bogglingly useful function for Fenspace that the factions will throw (not literally) any researcher they can spare at the problem (if they didn’t already). As I put in the fic, the Trekkies got there first as they had more people to throw at it. Once the Fen have working wavetech production lines, I can only see the whole thing cycling back on itself and the researchers applying that knowledge to the CGM.
I can see no realistic way that wavetech production lines can exist, without at the very least a Catboying Machine also existing.
Without the former (which I need for a future fic which leads to the Gauntlet fic I am trying, admittedly slowly, to complete) I don’t see the expansion of Fenspace envisaged in the extended Fenspace timeline happening at anywhere near the projected rate, if at all. And once the latter exists I very much doubt the Supers (at the very least) will not follow through and create the Biomolding system.
As to volunteers for development, there are catgirls who would do so even if they weren’t part of the development team.

If you run a mouse through the Catgirling Machine, do you get a Catgirl or a CatMouse? If you reverse the polarity of the process, do you get a Catgirl or a Catboy? Can the AIs running the Machine be reprogrammed without breaking the machine? Nobody's ever announced the result of such experiments...
