A thought: Could our "Re-modding" tech come about from handwaving the Squidleighs' medical hardtech?
Thus making the early version quirky in a whole new way... Say our first catgirl volunteer wound up a catgirl... with extra tentacles?
Just the thought of 'waving the Squidleighs' hardtech in general can allow for a SCARY technical progress boom even worse than the 'Wave itself...
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
