"Bourbon, watch your ass while you're up there," yelled one of the ground crew to Brandon as he crawled around the shop. He was trying to get one of the hands some steel, and for the life of them, they couldn't find a ladder. All the new shipments carted in the snow from outside, the residual rust and scale making it pretty damn slick. Even now, with the heavy work boots clinging the best they could, he was being careful. It wasn't a long fall, but it'd be a painful one.<br/><br/>It wasn't his first time climbing around their steel though, hell, sometimes he'd eat his lunch up here, and have a good view of the shop. Finding a good piece, nice and thin to work with, he pushed one end off calling out to the crew. As they were pulling it down, he felt the pile shift under him, and hardly had time to shout as he slipped and impaled himself on the length of steel. Already feeling the ragged breaths being pulled in, he knew he punctured a lung, and probably shattered a rib or two. It wasn't too long before he passed out, as everyone swarmed around him.<br/><br/>Fading in and out of consciousness, he only vaguely remembered the drive to the hospital, the cute nurse that rode in the ambulance with him. Even as they were having him sign paperwork for the procedure, he wasn't all there. Trying not to cough, his dad showed up before too long, giving him an earful. "It was an honest mistake pops, calm down," he remembered telling his old man, smiling as he pointed to his robotic lung, "Didn't I always tell you being a robot would be cool as hell?"<br/><br/>The surgery went pretty well, from what he heard. They wanted to keep him for a while, but the company was only covering part of this insurance, and he still had bills to pay. His dad had left a while ago, probably to get some cheap booze, or an even cheaper date. Sitting, he was trying to think how he was going to explain this to corporate. Munching away on the rubbery meal they provided, he could've sworn he saw someone looking at him through the windows of his room, but no one was there.
