Brigit felt a tremendous blast. Everything turned to white, but she suddenly felt her core switch to emergency shutdown, something that had never happened to her before. She wasn't sure how long she was out, but she found herself amid a now quiet, peaceful landscape, upright and intact.
Mostly intact, anyway. Her arm was in one piece again, but it was down to its laconian skeleton and cybernetic fibers. Organic tissue and muscle were already starting to form around the skeleton. Eventually her arm would look just like everyone else's, but right now Brigit feared it might seem grotesque, so she tried to unroll her sleeve to cover it. Unfortunately, Shalelu had already caught a glimpse of it.
"Oh, uhhhh..." Brigit hesitated, frantically trying to cover her arm. She quickly gave up. "Oh, screw it. Just, uh, look away. Um, don't worry about me. Gi Res won't work on my arm, anyway." She laughed nervously, "I might have some prosthetic parts. Mining accident. I'm not an android, though, I swear!" She continued with her awkward laughter.
Yeah, that's a hoot, Brigit. In a world with little science, surely everyone will find that funny.
She walked over to Jakob and knelt down next to him. She wasn't sure how responsive he was right now, though Shalelu's healing techs seemed to be helping immensely. Brigit owed him some thanks at the very least.
"If I'd known there was a super genius living in Neo Paseo, I'd have called on your services years ago to help me find Magnus. Thanks for saving our butts, and thanks for the new arm, stranger," she gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder and a wry grin. Her friendly expression soon turned to one of concern, as she thought about Jakob's technique supernova and what it must have been like for him to unleash such a terrific force.
"Dumb question, but how are you?" she asked with worry.
