There's a small pause at that, a synthesized chuckle sounding through their helm. They aren't laughing at her, though! ]
You know, that's a valid question. [ Their hand lingers, pondering for a moment, before they come to take hold of their cup to raise it a little. ] It's faint, but I can feel with it. Not nearly as much as my other arm, of course. But just enough.
[ honestly you're so valid, i almost said wild but no the man that died was wild who let that happen ]
Well, I haven't necessarily lost it. Not yet, anyhow.
[ It almost sounds like they're talking about something, unable to give a more direct answer. A finger taps against their cup. ] Which is precisely why I took the upgrade.
[ Yeah crazy. Anyway, Metis eventually raises the cup up but then stops. As if only just realizing the problem in trying to drink with a helmet in. Hm. ]
It is indeed still my arm. In my case, it's almost more of a... bandage? A supportive cover, of sorts.
[ Technology is wild, but she seems geuninely fascinated and thus they are more than willing and patient to explain it in the best way they can. ]
The technology itself is funded by the company, with the possibility and mere purpose to replace limbs and other parts with upgrades such as these. [ Carefully, they set their cup down and gesture a little with their other hand. ] In my case, my arm was in a state that would have proven to make working rather difficult. So, as a means to help support it, we were able to add onto it with the upgrades.
[ A blip of curiosity. ] It's sometimes a bit hard to wrap one's head around some of these things, but it's interesting to learn what can be done with this kind of technology. Though, at the same time, it's a bit overwhelming, isn't it?
[she is genuinely fascinated! she's never known any sort of tech like this, and she thinks that people like partitio or osvald would love to hear about this when she gets back. maybe even castti.
she watches them, pays attention to how the arm moves, and then:]
... A little. [she says, soft.] But if it helps you, I can't see how it'd be a bad thing.
Are these types of upgrades only available to the senior crew?
No certainly not a bad thing, if you ask any of the Senior Crew you'll actually learn they have their own set of upgrades. All in place to help us where it's needed.
[ Well... ]
Not necessarily. At times, accidents do happen, and once we have our Medbay available we'll be able to provide upgrades to any crew member in need should they need it.
How much? Ah... That would be something Io would be able to tell you precisely. [ This next bit is said with light amusement. ] I'm afraid the healing factors brought by technology is a bit outside my understanding. I'm more familiar with older methods.
[ Even so, they bring a hand to the chin of their helmet. ]
However, if I remember right, it does depend on the amount of time one spends in it.

Interesting. [...] You can't tell me how you lost it in the first place?
[that seems like a personal question she shouldn't ask]
no subject

no subject
that's. an interesting way to put that. her eyes are drawn to the cup for a moment, and then:]
... The upgrade. [christ she has no idea how technology works.] So - it's still your arm? How did you upgrade it?
[she is so fascinated by this...]

no subject
That doesn't surprise me. I've noticed things here and there. [she's observant!
also. she looks sort of like deadeyed for a second at that before:]
... And when will that be available? [some of the people here are going to need it]
no subject
Mm, some are a bit more obvious than others.
[ A light laugh at that question, because well they kinda expected it. ]
That would be next week at the latest, we'll be able to open up more areas along with our arrival to our first destination.
no subject
Good. [...] I - actually had a question about the medbay. How much is it capable of healing?

no subject
[she tilts her head again.]
... I'm unfamiliar with the technology as well. But I'd like to see Viktor heal as much as he can.
no subject
[ Happy to help. ]
I'll make mention to Io then, to check up on Mr. Viktor when the time comes.
