"A little?  Heh, sure, I use a<em>'little'</em>bit of magic." she said, smirking, like there was far more to it "And mana<em>does</em>represent something, but<em>what</em>it represents is up to debate.  We've only had magic for just over fifty years really, nobody understands it fully, least not beyond mere theory, and do keep in mind it doesn't<em>prevent</em>magic to install cyberware, bioware, and all that, just requires a bit of practice to overcome, just like how you had to practice using your arms again."<br/><br/>A pause, testing out some of the basic trigger mechanism, and then continued.<br/><br/>"Bioware is much less invasive, that's true.  Might consider upgrading your arms to alphaware, betaware, deltaware... makes it more hypoallergenic for your system.  Expensive as hell though at times." she stated, moving over to what looked to be a giant printer, but where one would find paper is instead a massive amount of scrap metal "I don't recommend orthoskin or any of those skin enhancements though, if you want to look as pretty as you are now; they tend to stand out, alot.  Ever seen a troll's chest?  Dermal deposits galore... but yeah, this thing will help, once I get it together..."<br/><br/>As they're speaking, a slide fitting the gun in progress is being 'printed,' quite an interesting device she has there...<br/><br/>"By the way, where did you get a leg of lion meat from?  Stuff's just<em>barely</em>legal to get, expensive as hell." she continued as she waited for the slide to finish 'printing' "Should have made him at least cook it first... Minerva?  Is he doing what I think he's doing right now?"<br/><br/>"He appears to be consuming the lion hind leg, watching two women using two double-ended dildos on trideo, and engaging in self-stimulatory-"<br/><br/>"Got it, that's enough." she said, sighing, but then laughed "Damn... would that we all could be so... free..."
