Arf.

Know what Arf would have been doing before Fate put her on a bus? Helping Fate during her earlier Enforcer career.

Detective Dog Arf. With scrying spells learned from our resident archaeologist.

In fact, Arf could have easily continued in that role up to the point of StrikerS. It's not like Fate needs her full and undivided magical power for investigations. Even when making arrests (often with back up from other Enforcers or local law enforcement), the fighting wouldn't be so hard or last so long as to exhaust Fate's divided reserves, and having a Familiar as her partner would only be an advantage.

Arf could even keep fulfilling the role during StrikerS and afterwards, without ever needing to become a full time babysitter and part-time librarian.

And we'd be treated to a wiser, cannier Arf acting like an oneesan/sempai to Teana, which develops Arf's character in an interesting way.

LOTS of pointless "machine on machine tentacle rape!" shots. Wasted time.

Though it is possible to keep them, as long as the Numbers appear from the very start to lead them.
Either way, the Numbers needed to be involved at least as soon as the first episode, and preferably even for the attack that injured Nanoha all those years ago.
