[thiefshonor]

[Celeste is out of breath, but sounds happy. Giddy, even. Like an adrenaline rush, just without a functioning body for it to technically be an adrenaline rush.]

Boys and girls, we've won the jackpot.

Ter, Kevas, Karis. I'm done. Got a card outta it.

To the rest of ya - les play hide and seek. With the captain.

In the decks below. [Cackles.]Meet

[Kusanagi doesn't say anything over the comms--bad enough that Celeste specifically mentioned her--but the idea of an unguided tour through the crew-only decks is too tempting to resist, even if the planning leaves something to be desired.

She shows up at the appointed meeting spot wearing nothing but her thermoptics visor and a sour expression.]

[pimp_hat]

[Now that's something he certainly didn't expect, and he just can't help but stare a little. It's been far too long since he's seen a woman naked.]

[electroniccrane]

If you want to be in any condition to go along on this little expedition, develop some manners.

[pimp_hat]

[That made him chuckle.]

Joo show up here wid notin' on but what joo were born in and joo be lectchain' me bout mannahs?

[electroniccrane]

What makes you think this is the body I was born in?

[pimp_hat]

Why would I t'ink it wasn't?

*FACEPLATES!* ...nah just kiddin'

[electroniccrane]

[She smirks.]

It is a very well-crafted shell, isn't it?

[pimp_hat]

[He blinks.]

Shell?

[An image of a gnome sitting inside her pulling cranks and levers pops into his head before he shakes it out.]

[electroniccrane]

[By way of an answer, she extends an arm and pops the access panel in her forearm, to reveal the distinctly artificial musculature below.]

[pimp_hat]

[Kevas has no idea what he's looking at but he knows it's definately not normal.]

Huh. Dat be...huh.

[He can't even think of a witty comeback for this.]

[electroniccrane]

Cybernetics.

[She seals up the panel and it's as though it was never open.]

[pimp_hat]

[He looks at her with the same blank stare he looked at her arm.

And dat be...?

[electroniccrane]

Body parts replaced with machines.

[pimp_hat]

Den joo be a robot.

[An extremely advance robot capable of speech and sentient thought. A shame she didn't come with schematics. He could sell them to a gnome a be set for life.]

Joo know joo could'ah just said dat in da first place. Would'ah save us a lotta trouble.

[electroniccrane]

[Not this again.]

I'm a cyborg, not a robot.

[pimp_hat]

Oh fuh da love of...

[He begins rubbing his temples.]

And just what dat be?
