1: Julia has stood up and is carefully piling the books.
Mel: So, like, how’s the arm treating you? If I may.
2: A view of Kas’s arms leaned on the table. His severed arm has been replaced with a clearly artificial limb in dark bronze plating with gold accents.
Kas: I don’t mind. It’s…
It feels almost entirely natural now, at least to move around. You get used to the touch sensors on the fingertips pretty quick.
3: Julia carries books behind Mel with Kas’s head in the foreground.
Mel: I’m surprised you didn’t go for something with fake fur on it. Those can look really realistic these days.
Kas: Uh, I might in the future, but… I don’t know.
Honestly, I kinda like the “cyborg” look.
Julia: Hell yeah, cyber-kitty.
4: Kas, speaking.
Kas: Listen, give me… a week, tops, and I think I can do this. Translation software can get me about halfway there, but this will need a lot of… fussing.
Mel: Thanks, Kas.
I love that the in-universe translation software can read ancient akkadian for some reason. Must be a pretty large training set of documents translated from Akkadian to Egyptian (which I assume is what the main characters speak, unless everyone got colonialised to furry English or something)
Heh. I think Kas underestimated what he was getting himself into.
Yay!
Mel, Julia, and Kas, are back! 😀 😀
