Junk Yard Planet

A: Least prepared, huh? For what exactly? And how about a dagger concealed in the forearm and a one hundred eighty degree rotation in the wrist. Think you could do that?
*Alaiason looks back to where the girl was before, to find that she has apparently finished practicing and uses his telekinesis to pick up the rod. He starts to twirl it in his fingers as he waits for an answer.*

G: Least prepare dwith information and customization ideas. magnetics have their information already prepared. i need to measure the, um, remains of the arm. I'm afraid this part is always a bit awkward.
*Garm pulls out a tape measure.*
G: and yes, I can do that. Its a good idea, but you'll have to get used to it, as it is an uncommon motor skill.
*Garm waits for Alaiason to stand up*

*Stands up and holds out the two-inch stub for Garm to measure*
A: I get what you mean. I had no idea what I wanted to be honest. There honestly isn't much left there to measure. It was a pretty harsh encounter.
*Watches as Garm measures his arm.*
A: I was lucky to get out alive.

*Garm finishes taking his measurements, then starts sketching out a blueprint*
G: What did that? Juggernaught? Taskmaster? Wild animal?
*Garm looks at the blueprint and begins writing out a list of supplies, tacking it up on a board with several others after writing a number on it*
G: Check back tomorow, there's a place for traveling amputees nextdoor.
*Garm goes back over to the project he was working on before, putting on a welding mask as his left index finger slides open and the welding torch inside ignites*

A: When I was about twelve the house my family and I lived in was housing a fugitive unknowingly. A juggernaut found out and tried to find it. I was the only one who made it out with my life. But it was by a margin.
*Looks the other direction, towards the door he entered earlier.*
A: I guess I'll drop by sometime tomorrow. I should probably get to that amputee center.

*lelia gets up off the floor realising that she had passed out*
"woah..what happend where did everyone go? how long was i passed out?"
*she sits there silently and hopes to go back to sleep till someone arrives or till she thinks of something to do*
*she lays back down on the floor and goes to sleep*

*As Garm enters the station and begins to check the inventory to make sure nothing was stolen, he spots Lelia asleep in the next room*
G: I should let her sleep. She certainly earned it.
*Garm, finishing the inventory, satisfied nothing was taken, begins to finish the left arm Alaiason had requested the other day*
G: Put this here, and this here....connect these wires to the spinner plate....
*Garm continues to put the finishing touches on the arm, inserting the dagger, then placing armor plating around the arm to protect the wiring and internal devices from the waether*

*Alaiason leaves the amputee center, ready to see if Garm has finished his new arm yet.*
A: I certainly hope he is finished, I will finally be able to use two arms again
*Alaiason approaches the door to Garms station, ready to knock on the door when he sees something out of the corner of his eye.*
A: What the...? I could have sworn I saw something
*Alaiason puts the odd occurrence out of his mind as he knocks on the door in front of him.*

G: Come in...and keep it down. Lelia's asleep in the other room.
*Garm is almost done, he is simply writing up the instructions for care and maintenance.*
G: I was just finishing up with the arm.
*Garm turns to look at Alaiason, then gets a confused expression on his face*
G: What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost or something?
*Garm is holding the arm and instructions, and is ready to put it on Alaiason*

*Alaiason looks at the arm and moves to lift up his sleeve.*
A: It's nothing, I think. I just saw something out of the corner of my eye outside your door and when I looked, there was...nothing.
*Alaiason moves his gaze to the window, wondering if he may be losing it.*
A: You know...nevermind. I don't have a place to stay anyway.

*Garm puts the paper down on the central table and walks over with a clean rag*
G: I need you to put this rag in your mouth so you don't bite your tongue off, or wake up Lelia. This'll hurt, and I'm not good at making cybernetic tongues.
*Garm holds out the rag while thoughts race through his head*
G: Is he going crazy, or maybe he saw someone who was about to break in...or it was a taskmaster off to punish someone in the neighboring stations...
*Garm's expression betrays none of these thoughts, though think them he does*

*Alaiason takes the rag.*
A: I'd sure hate to wake her up. One quick question though, will I be able to use my telekinesis through this arm?
*Alaiason places the ragin his mouth as he waits for an answer, preparing to feel a lot of pain.*

G: You should, i place telekinetic boosting metals and such in it. Now, I'm going to hold you very still to prevent you from moving away, as that HAS actually caused death in some cases.
*Garm pushes the prosthetic left arm onto Alaiason's...stub...and holds him still with one hand while the other sets about the extremely painful process of connecting the arm to the nervous system so that he can use it like a normal arm*
G: Just give it a few more seconds...and then let is sit for a minute or two until the pain is completely gone.
*Garm just holds Alaiason and the prosthetic, now attached to Alaiason's nervous system and attaching to his skin and bones so it won't be easily removed without surgical precision and tools*

*Alaiason balls his right hand into a fist and bites down as hard as he can on the rag, trying not to knock Garm away.*
A: Holy crap this hurts!
*Alaiason fights to keep his calm as his arm feels like it has been set on fire.*

G: Okay, it should be going away anytime now. Just try and relax.
*Garm continues to hold Alaiason still, hoping that Alaiason doesn't punch him in the face*
G: Just hold out a little bit longer Alaiason. It should be just about done.
*He speaks in as soothing a tone as he can manage in the current situation*

*lelia startles awake quickly hearing the dissruption in the other room*
"heh..well it looks like they are here"
*lelia looks in to the other room and sees alaiason in allot of pain with the prostetic arm*
"poor fellow..i kinda feel bad for him, that looks extremily painful.."
*she sits and watches the proceadure, kinda interested*

*Alaiason's face shows a sort of slow relaxation, as the pain is now easing slowly away. He removes the rag from his mouth.*
A: *panting* Wow that hurt. Thank you for the new arm though.
*Alaiason looks down at his new prosthetic arm.*
A: How long should it take me to get used to this now?

*lelia just sits there and stares out of amazement*
"how did he ever learn to do that..?that is quite amazing i must say"
*lelia just keeps staring unwillingly and then looks at garm with complete amazement*
"well i will know where to come if anything happens to me..

G: It should take a few days, max. A few hours minimum.
*Garm grabs the paper off of the central table and tosses the rag Alaiason had in his mouth in a bin in the corner*
G: These are the maintenance instructions.
*Garm holds it out for Alaiason to take. He hasn't noticed Lelia is awake yet.*
G: How is it feeling?

*Alaiason takes the maintenance instrunctions from Garm.*
A: It feels kinda weird. A little bit of pain, but mostly like I just layed on my shoulder for too long.
*Alaiason notices Lelia sitting in the other room.*
A: Whoops, it looks like we woke her up.
