"Good morning, Unity Group! I have an important question for you all: Have you seen an arm lying around anywhere?"

Gjerke raises an arm, by way of demonstration. Her other one appears to be missing.

"It looks like this, but it's a lefty instead of a righty."

A direct message from Gjerke's mech AI companion to one of the UG members that he considers more reasonable and practical. Text.

I'm curious about something, if you have a moment.

Do you ever find it strange how quickly and unquestioningly UG accepts new members into their ranks?

Fight time, against something big. Like, really big. Big enough to make ordinary mechs (like the Gervasius) look small. Something that mocks skyscrapers.

When Gjerke looks up at it, there are stars in her eyes.

"Have you ever looked at something and immediately thought, 'I'm gonna climb that'? Because that's me right now. I'm gonna climb it, then I'm gonna punch it right in the face, while standing on top of it. Everybody out of the way."

Can you do that? This body is kind of amazing, you know.

[number1_kerbal]

Yeah, I can get that. But I've also got an understanding of my own awesome abilities as an engineer.

Well heck, what do I have to lose? Even if you make me a terrible arm, I can just ditch it and find the old one again.

[number1_kerbal]

I'll keep an eye out for your other one, where did you see it last?

[themselves]

The laundromat.

It's a long story.

[ Jeb just...raises an eyebrow at that and shrugs.]

Well hey, it's your arm I guess. If it gets lost in someone's laundry, I'm sure it will turn up eventually. And hey, I get to make a sweet new arm for you in the meantime.

[But is a robot-arm made of parts so small that the game engine will consider them 'physicsless?' Such parts have strange powers.]
