Hey!! you said you do a little more than dabble in tech/machinery right.....

[ Help him, Asami-wan Kenobi... You're his only hope... ]

this is sigma btw

[satomotive]

That's right. [ Just a little more... ]

What is it?

[nicearms]

Long story short how up for taking a shot at fixing something WAY cooler than my eye are you??

[satomotive]

[ You're really obvious with your baiting, aren't you Sigma? ]

Did you break something?

[nicearms]

[ sweats nervously ]

Well technically speaking I didn't break anything....

but something is broken yes

[satomotive]

Well, if it's as advanced as your eye, I could try.
What is it that you need fixed?

[ In spite of herself, she really wants to know what could be cooler than a cybernetic eye. ]

[nicearms]

[ Trying's all he can hope for at this point. Don't flip your lid too hard here. ]

Alright given the circumstances of their demise I'm going to take a wild guess that it's an issue w/ the electrical so it shouldn't be too hard in theory but

it's my arms.

[satomotive]

Your arms are prosthetic too??

[nicearms]

They sure are!

[ NO THANKS TO ANYONE THAT ISN'T AN ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE IN THE FUTUREPAST ]

you couldn't even tell could you, I told you it was cooler than my eye

[ ... ]

I'm not actually that excited by them I probably should have died at least four times last week.

[satomotive]

You're right, I had no idea.

[ Amazing... they looked just like real arms. Now she's starting to get a little excited about tinkering with them. ]

Wait, are your arms working at all right now?

[nicearms]

[ He had no idea either, Asami... He had no idea either............. ]

No, not a bit. I can't even feel them... they're just dead weights hanging off my shoulders atm

[satomotive]

[ Sigma......... ]

I see.
Well, if the problem is something electrical then I can definitely take a look at it. I have a little experience with that kind of thing.
If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

[nicearms]

[ After a pause, ] uh, struck by lightning

[ Lots of volts, very unpleasant. Doesn't really mind her asking, just... minds the subject. ]

so I'm guessing some kind of short or overload or smth but I'm no electrician. Hell maybe they just need to be turned off and on again.

[ idk all these body mods happened without his consent, man. ]

[satomotive]

[ Is he serious... it actually kind of hurts her soul a little to hear that even the sophisticated technology of the future can be nerfed by a lightning bolt. ]

That doesn't sound too bad. Short circuits are usually a pretty straight-forward fix.
Maybe I just need to kick them a few times. [ SHE'S TEASING... ]

[nicearms]

[ In defense of the arms, unlike plenty of other technology, they—much like human beings—are not designed to be struck by a lightning bolt. And it was a very tactically placed lightning bolt to boot... ]

hey they're sophisticated fine-motor machines, not a finicky moped!!
but I guess if there was any time to hit me in the funny bone, it would be now...

[ You cruel monster... ]

Anyway yeah I don't think the circuits are going to be the complicated part of this operation.

[satomotive]

[ Sigma please... she'd never hit you unless you deserved it. ]

What's that supposed to mean?

[nicearms]

[ give her time... ]

Okay maybe complicated isn't the word I'm looking for but

Well I mean, you saw them right? they're totally seamless.
