So, I've finally gotten access to this network... [ hmm... someone sounds wary and cautious, like he's afraid of hearing a response back. ] I have a lot of questions, and I'm seeing that I'm not alone in that regard. But for today, I just have one question that I need answered as soon as possible.

Can someone direct me to a doctor that can set me up with a new arm? I didn't really explore the medical bay too much, but I didn't see any available doctors while I was down there. [ and uh. med bays weren't the most comfortable place for him. ]

[ oh look he actually laughs at that. ]

Hey, it may be able to keep me alive for longer than someone without one, but it's far from magical.

[foundafamily]

[He didn't intend that to be funny, but laughs with him nonetheless.]

Too bad. I bet it'd seem like magic to anyone from my world--people get hurt or sick and die all the time there and there's nothin' they can do about it.

[He says it matter-of-factly and without sadness. He hasn't worried about that for a long time.]

[dislimb]

...I see. [ Nate, on the other hand, wasn't as nonchalant about senseless death. mass suicides sought to that. ]

That's unfortunate. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't crime where I'm from, but ...

[foundafamily]

I'd be surprised if there was a place that didn't. People are the same wherever you go.

[dislimb]

I'm not sure if I believe that... [ his faith in people is too high.... ]

[foundafamily]

What? You've gotta be kiddin' me. You might not see it right away, but it'll always be there.

[dislimb]

I guess I just have too much faith in people. [ he chuckles softly. ]

[foundafamily]

Way too much, I'd say. Lucky for you, I haven't met anybody here yet who struck me as a particularly rotten apple, but you should still be careful, you know?

[dislimb]

...Thanks. Sometimes I need a little reminder to watch my hide. [ and since weller isn't here...!! someone needs to slap nate around. ]

[foundafamily]

Hey, anytime.

...You might wanna start by keepin' quiet about that RIG thing. That just seems like the sorta thing people'd try and take advantage of, you know?

[dislimb]

...How would they do that, exactly?

[foundafamily]

I dunno. Try to break it to hurt you, maybe, or try to kill you to take it. Somethin' like that.

[dislimb]

It's grafted into my body, there's no way they'd be able to take it out easily. And breaking it would require extreme force. I think I'll be okay.

[foundafamily]

Yeah? They thought of everything, huh?

[dislimb]

Apparently. At least I won't have to worry about getting mugged for my RIG.

[foundafamily]

Hopefully not. But don't worry, there's a lotta other stuff for you to worry about here, eh?
