[Eighty First Cord]: [Video] [Locked from Quatre, Filtered to DATS, open to other Frendlies]

[drunkkareoke]

[Haku is sitting at her home office, looking rather tired. She's actually gotten sleep (at the insistence of her friends who noticed she went over a week without properly recharging) but she just woke up, which accounts for the messy state her hair is in and how groggy she still looks. There's a small stretch of silence from her before she finally

[Riza might not understand half the schematics - way different that a gun - but she knows a good idea when she sees one.] I wish you luck, Haku. I can't say that I understand it all though.

On that note, Would you like Roy and I to watch over Hanako for a while so you can focus on this? [Slight smile. ] I understand if not, but I thought it would be easier on you and your husband right now.

[drunkkareoke]

Thank you...

Maybe a little bit? I don't want to have this force me to take time away from my family, but she could probably use some one to watch her for a few hours after school every day.

Re: [vid.]

[his_hawks_eye]

I understand completely and it'll be no trouble for us at all. I know Elicia will be rather happy about it as well.

[drunkkareoke]

Those two are rather attached at the hip, aren't they? [chuckle warmly] I'm glad Hanako is making friend so quickly.

[guardian_wind]

Haku.

I think in this case, while I'm open to letting you help, it would be better if you took a back-seat on this.

Ciel is more than qualified for an operation like this, and of course DATS is willing to help. But in your case, you'd work best as her assistant rather than leading the project.

[drunkkareoke]

I know. That's what I was planning... I have a little more to do on the designs for Sarasim before its ready, but I was looking at getting her procedure done on Monday or Tuesday, if that's alright...

[guardian_wind]

Very well. I'll point you in Ciel's direction and the two of you can get started.

However, I'm giving her pause to relieve you the moment you start seeming overworked.

[drunkkareoke]

... [nervous laugh]

I-I'll get plenty of sleep this weekend! [really does not want to be hauled off by Duo again]

[doesntneedarmor]

I can't say I understand much of the technology behind it...but I'm willing to try. I think regaining some of my touch might go a long way to helping improve my fighting abilities with that arm once more.

I thank you for this opportunity.

[drunkkareoke]

Thank you for letting me test it on you! There's no way we'd be able to do a full test run on Quatre - it would just be too much if there's things that need to be tweaked or fixed.

I'll warn you, having that sense back, even minimally might be a little bit shocking to your system at first.

[doesntneedarmor]

I understand, the pain should be worth it in the long run I believe.

[drunkkareoke]

Just don't go right back in to training until you're sure you can handle it. Hitting things with that arm is going to be rather jarring at first. We may need to do several calibrations over the week to make sure we're not overdoing it.

[onisensei]

You think you're getting out of it that easy? HA! You've got another thing coming sweet cheeks!

[drunkkareoke]

... [blink] Out of what, honey?

[onisensei]

Our new weekly match of Gamestation with Hanako! I need you to even the odds. Somehow that little cheater has already figured out all my best combos!

[drunkkareoke]

Oh.

... I'm sure I can fit it in. Though Hanako is staying with Riza after school next week. Just for a few hours, though. ... actually I think she's already over her. Elicia has really taken a liking to her.

I do not possess data regarding prostheses. However, I do possess repair data for my original body, which may possibly be adapted for use as prostheses. Technology transfer for the purpose of life-saving care is permitted, however I believe that the human term for technology transfer in this situation is "a gray area". Therefore, I must request that you refrain from sharing this data with individuals who are not directly involved with this project.

[Attached: Schematics of a robotic arm for a combat android that is centuries ahead of current Earth technology. It's obviously going to be too heavy for a normal human to use as-is. The highlights are the strong, durable, and extremely precise joints and "muscles" (which are almost certainly too heavy, but she might be able to use some of the concepts), and the fiber-optic wiring that lets it react faster than human nerves could give the commands. A few sections of the schematics have obviously been edited out, but the parts Haku would want to use are all there.]

[Received. Haku is looking over them now]

Wow... this is impressive... weight is definitely going to be an issue, though, but it's worth looking over for alternate possibilities. Thank you.

[Audio] [Locked to Haku]

[readmyback]

You are welcome.

I had expected that weight would be a limiting factor. Humans appear to be below the galactic average in terms of physical strength.

[drunkkareoke]

Both Quatre and Duo are stronger than they look, and Sarasim has had her automail, which is quite heavy on its own, for over a year. But... weight limits mobility no matter what when you're dealing with putting something unnatural on a natural body. The lighter, the better, in this case.
