HF 016 Rocket Surgery 2: The Second One

[6/17/2016 10:08:13 PM] Jamaros: As you enter, you notice a
large...something covered in a cloth, but Belkiss pushes it aside and move you
onto a table.

[6/17/2016 10:08:57 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss opens you up, like
before, and screams as a very wet mouse leaps from your chest.

[6/17/2016 10:09:13 PM] Anna: Oh, that's where he was.

[6/17/2016 10:09:31 PM] Anna: Sorry about that. He usually
has better manners.

[6/17/2016 10:10:43 PM] Anna: Chitterscreech, this woman
probably just saved you from a terrible death by gear-grinding.

[6/17/2016 10:11:07 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss gently picks the
mouse up and places him beside you.

[6/17/2016 10:11:30 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss:
"Right...ok...By the Gods...the rain did a number on you in here."

[6/17/2016 10:15:17 PM] Anna: I don't know why something
this drastic has happened. I've been technically okay with the rain, besides it
feeling like an army of slugs crawling down the inside of my chest. It was
weird, but never impeded me.

[6/17/2016 10:16:07 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss: "From the
looks of it, simple over-exertion.  Too
much in too little a period of time."

[6/17/2016 10:17:02 PM] Anna: Eh, that makes sense, I
suppose. Trouble seems to find us often, these days.

[6/17/2016 10:17:25 PM] Anna: I wasn't able to go through a
refresh cycle, last night.

[6/17/2016 10:17:26 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss begins maneuvering
things in there, it feels very weird, but less so than the first time.

[6/17/2016 10:17:53 PM] Jamaros: As she touches something,
suddenly, a wave of electricity seems to surge through you.

[6/17/2016 10:18:09 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss: "SORRY!  Sorry!
Didn't mean to do that."

[6/17/2016 10:18:46 PM] Anna: wargleflargletssssssokay

[6/17/2016 10:19:02 PM] Jamaros: It is, for the record, not
wholly unpleasant.

[6/17/2016 10:19:08 PM] Jamaros: Just...very tingly.

[6/17/2016 10:19:37 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss: "You know...a
lot of this stuff is positively ancient...you may just need some full-on
replacements."

[6/17/2016 10:20:29 PM] Anna: At some point, that may become
necessary, yes.

[6/17/2016 10:21:17 PM] Anna: At this point, it looks like
you'd be the only one with the expertise, as well.

[6/17/2016 10:21:53 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss: "Well...I
don't mean to brag...actually I do.  And
yes, I am."

[6/17/2016 10:22:08 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss: "I'll have to
order parts, but I can do a patch job now."

[6/17/2016 10:25:28 PM] Anna: At this point, pretty much
anything would help immensely.

[6/17/2016 10:35:27 PM] Jamaros: You feel a lot more
twisting and turning inside you.
It's...very strange.

[6/17/2016 10:37:14 PM] Anna: Although you have already
helped a great deal. I think our last session reactivated some old subsystems.
For example...

[6/17/2016 10:37:19 PM] \*\*\* Anna wiggles her fingers a
little bit, and a shiny, greyish mist is exuded from them. It wafts over to
Chitterscreech, rendering him dry and unmuddied. [cast Prestidigitation] \*\*\*

[6/17/2016 10:37:57 PM] Anna: [yeah, I'm flavoring it as
nanites, if that is alright.]

[6/17/2016 10:38:21 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss:
"Oh...good.  Glad to see more
systems are coming online."

[6/17/2016 10:41:56 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss slams your chassis
shut.  "There we are.  All good as new."

[6/17/2016 10:42:50 PM] \*\*\* Anna sits up and stretches,
experimentally. \*\*\*

[6/17/2016 10:43:41 PM | Edited 10:44:06 PM] Anna: Thank
you, Belkiss. I should really be more careful, I'm starting to show my age.

[6/17/2016 10:44:09 PM] Jamaros: Belkiss:
"Nonsense.  You look as fresh as the
day you were built, I bet."

[6/17/2016 10:47:54 PM] Jamaros: ((Ready to go back to the
main chat?))

[6/17/2016 10:48:04 PM] Anna: [yeh.]

[6/17/2016 10:48:30 PM] Anna: Well, I'd better get back
before they start worrying.

[6/17/2016 10:48:35 PM] Anna: Thanks, again.

[6/17/2016 10:49:05 PM] \*\*\* Anna edges off the table and
heads out. \*\*\*
