Indecisiveness
Hao Xuan's body floated a couple of inches above ground surrounded by a barely noticeable golden barrier of light. All he could do was listen to the sound of hurried footsteps that were coming his way.
With the glyph's help, the nanites went to work within his body, trying to fix or at least quarantine the mutations within Hao Xuan's DNA but that was easier said than done. What they were doing was basically gene manipulation which even for an advanced AI was no easy task to undertake.
Baracus not only needed the exact information about Hao Xuan's gene sequence and genetic material but also how it could change in the future.
And because of his 'special' physique, his DNA was already extremely unstable. Minor modifications and alterations would be made every single time Hao Xuan used the physique to devour any outside materials which created far too many complications.
