Yo. Network said you had some tech trouble that's a bit out of depth for the Geek Squad. I might be able to help, though, and you don't need to dumb it down for the mundanes.

[Victor's got some of his cybernetic replacements back. His legs, specifically. He looks fucking thrilled.]

Guys. GUYS. I CAN WALK AGAIN! It's just as easy as when I was a kid! This is what I've always dreamed of!

[For the more technically inclined of you.]

The cybernetic components haven't stopped spreading. It's worth it to be able to move and stuff, but I'm running into a bit of a power draw problem. The wall outlet isn't supplying enough power to keep me running anymore. I've got...

[Checking the readout on his arm.]

Wow! Congratulations, Vic! You're going to plan on running a Marathon to celebrate?

[Alouette grinned cheekily]

[canofthebuttwhoop]

You know I might just do that. With theses babies there's no way I wouldn't win!

[Pulling up pant legs to reveal gleaming metal legs.]

Whoooa, so you're like a half-robot now? Bet you can really kick some ass with those.

[canofthebuttwhoop]

Haven't tried yet.

[He kicks at the air...]

Woah-oah-oaaaaah!

[...and falls over.]

Why couldn't you walk?

[Yes, that is a talking cat, don't think about it too hard.]

Friedreich's Ataxia. Degenerative condition of the nervous system.

[A talking cat barely makes the top ten of weird things he's seen on the network.]
