Quite the killer figure too, but more interestingly, mentioned the fact they were from... Wernstrom Institute of Technology? So another dimension had gotten this level of tech working in favor? ... No, looking closer, it actually seemed much more advanced and streamlined. Whoever did the work on this arm made it extremely articular, very sleek... The joints were all located strategically to provide maximum movement akin to a real hand, sliding plates to emulate something approaching palm movement... He raised a hand to his chin and nodded in approval. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Ellisander. Name's Archer Reid, student and soldier of Danno-Ura Military Academy, rank of Second Lieutenant... But just chilling here, so none of that rank and file crap from me." He shrugged, before he looked to the redhead.<br/><br/>"Cybernetics Division? So you guys have something like ours too... Yeah, our Cyber Troopers have something similar, but for different reasons. Some get it willingly, others... Well, things happen on the battlefield, and we need all the help we can get." He trailed off. Some of it was alright, but they still had a few dark marks when it came to their ethics. "We've been trying to get some synthetic skin going for the people that are self-conscious about their appearance, but nothing concrete yet. Alot of their cybernetics focus on combat application and not just everyday use, so many don't quite have the articulation miss..." He trailed off, realizing he hadn't gotten the other girl's name, though she sounded very interested in what he had to say. After a moment, she finally gave her name... Jay, simple but effective.<br/><br/>"Well, Ms. Jay, so far very few actually have the articulation your arm does... Probably one of the most advanced limbs i've seen, actually. Some opt for weaponized limbs instead of proper hands... We've also had at least one instance of someone who requested a full makeover... It never really happened though. We don't quite have the technological knowhow to completely makeover someone like that, nevermind the fact that sometimes, peoples psyches can't really handle the changes. However, they're really capable of great feats, and honestly, they're probably one of the only people capable of using our experimental VF-27β Lu-" he started, before he coughed into his hand. "Ah, no, nevermind that... Anyway, nope! Still all natural flesh and blood human for now. Though I am signed up to get limb replacements should any of mine be damaged or destroyed in engagements. I just try to avoid it when I can." He sighed, pocketing his hands.<br/><br/>"All this at Wernstrom, huh? Gates would have a field day if he could see this... Anyway, last I checked, none of the C.T's have really left on break for a while, and i'm sure they wouldn't mind you looking at them, but the brass has orders to make sure they're properly monitored before they get sent out on leave. We really don't want to be responsible for any incidents, y'know... Onto more enjoyable subjects though!" He grinned, before he tilted his head to the side as he addressed the pair. "How much of<em>you</em>two are modified?" he asked. This was probably the best thing he was going to talk about arriving here... At least until he heard what sounded like a strange... Squelch? He recognized the sound for sure, but he severely doubted anyone had the audacity to get it on in the open. Looking around for the source of it, he realized... There seemed to be something blue and spherical nearby. It almost reminded him of some sort-of beanbag chair, except bigger and somewhat see through... To the point where he could actually see stuff floating inside. Curiosity struck him, as he walked toward the strange mass and picked it up despite the goopy feeling, looking it over. Strangely enough, it felt really cool to the touch... It seemed as if the impact knocked something into inactivity within the strange gelatinous bag. "Uh... Don't suppose either of you two know what this is, huh?" He asked, not quite having heard the call of 'Excuse me!' coming from someone indicating what he'd been holding. What he didn't realize was, as he continued to hold the bag, he didn't realize what was possibly exchanging from his grip...
