⌠VOICE LOG 007⌡

[dislimb]

So, I guess we're on the move again. Fantastic.

Before we go into another ridiculous city, I have to ask this before I forget.

Is there anyone here who has medical training? Now that Sakura's missing... More specifically, surgical training?

I've been putting this off for much longer than I should have, but.. [ there's hesitation ] I need a

[huptwo]

You're missing a hand? How'd that happen?

[aaaaaand just a pause before] I can probably draw up a diagram and reverse-engineer a robotic replacement based on my own, but hooking it into your nervous system for proper operation would be tricky. We don't really have the equipment to make neural implants- and probably nothing spinal, either.

[VOICE]

[dislimb]

[ he's getting tired of explaining the situation, so, very bluntly: ] I cut it off.

[ woah he wasn't expecting this level of expertise, so he's pleasantly surprised ] Thank God, someone who knows what they're doing.

As long as you can make it so I can make a fist, that's all I care about.

[VOICE]

[huptwo]

Uh... ok. [wtf dude. srsly.]

[....wait what did he just say?] Yeah, probably. I'll have to take a look at your arm and see what kind of materials are lying around. It shouldn't be too difficult if you don't want anything fancy. I can show you my arm if you want to know what you'd be working with.

[VOICE]

[dislimb]

It's better if you don't ask. [ he sounds UNCOMFORTABLE but w/e ]

That'd be great; I'd really appreciate it. I don't need anything special, just enough so that I can hold and operate a pistol.

[house_1_god_0]

You're seriously asking people on a Caravan for a prosthetic hand? First of all, that's ridiculously stupid, second, it's like you're just asking for gangrene. All that fancy doctor mumbo-jumbo about sterile environments is, oddly, not actually mumbo-jumbo.

[VOICE]

[dislimb]

So, I take it you don't have the skills I'm looking for, then.

[house_1_god_0]

Nope. If you meet a neurosurgeon, point him my way, since I'm missing my chocolate bear. Now I need a guy with a pompous accent and a chick who is morally outraged with everything I do and my team will be complete.

If anyone says that they can do it, you shouldn't trust them.

[dislimb]

Good luck with that. Haven't met any yet, though Weller's got the pompous accent down pretty well.

And why is that? I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character.

[dislimb]

...Uh.

[ well, he's thought about the shooting-himself-in-the-head thing, but for entirely different reasons sob ] What? It... doesn't work that way.

[dislimb]

...I've been to a lot of places, but I'm pretty sure coming back from the dead and possessing people doesn't actually work. Otherwise, I'm sure I would have been possessed 20 times over while on the Ishimura.

[Voice]

[justice_by_coma]

Uhm. There's a doctor with a cane. He was moving a piano with...[Sakura. Aw. He's kind of sad, really. Who's going to eat all this food, now?]

[VOICE]

[dislimb]

Oh? How much does he know about robotic implants?

[VOICE]

[justice_by_coma]

[THAT throws the little millennial child. He doesn't even process before he talks]

WHAT?
Nobody on the caravan knows about-!

[A pause. Oh wait... Processing now.]

You're...from the future? [Blink blink blink]

[VOICE]

[dislimb]

....??

Uh. D..epends on ... what the "future" is to you.
