It's not an easy one, because both characters are intelligent, and Liu Xi is notably unpredictable from an experimenter's point of view.

Flawed people are easy to experiment on, if you can exploit the flaws.

Maybe not, but I thought the rule of the Parodyverse is if something is repeated enough and not contested it becomes true.

Remember that this time I'm not exaggerating - Anna took on a mob of well-trained and heavily armed soldiers and sent them into chaos. Considerably less disciplined pirates with more primitive weapons don't really stand a chance. She's far too strong and quick.
Yuki would badly beat them fighting on their own terms (taking her time, with her fists and feet) just to embarrass them even more. Simple hand-to-hand and karate training paired with tireless and powerful cybernetics gives her an advantage.

It'll have to wait till I return home on Tuesday (more likely Wed, since I'll be tired from the plane flight on Tues). After that, I may try to catch up on Liu Xi's situation too.

She may be completely confused by that, which is fortunate because otherwise she might toss it at him and storm out.
