Looking for a mechanic capable of fixing a prosthetic arm, altruistic introverts highly preferred, opportunistic assholes also acceptable.

Age irrelevant, but if you're a child I will comment on it.

You make it sound like the opportunistic types are your second choice. You would really trust someone claiming altruism with a limb?

How bold.

[badlydisarmed]

Not with a working one. The busted one is useless as it is.

And anyway, the altruistic ones are obvious. They wouldn't claim to be altruistic, they'd just be happy to help.

Why wouldn't you trust someone altruistic with a working limb?

[zauneyete]

Hah, so you aren't losing anything.

The "happy to help" type are also more liable to volunteer foolishly. Which as you said, it is broken, but I assume you know as well as I do that there is a difference between broken and irreparably damaged.

I have a friend who might be able to help. His name is Jayce Talis. His username on the network is jaycetalis.

[badlydisarmed]

Please tell me he's quiet and uninterested in making friends.

[clavesregni]

He's keen on the sound of his own voice. But he's very good with mechanical things. He's an inventor.

[hexcope]

Neither, actually. Hi. Jayce Talis. It looks like you've got more than a few offers already. I'd say I know @ SV has experience with advanced arm prosthetics, but I thought she might be more concerned with her own first...

What's your definition of a child?

[badlydisarmed]

Not old enough to legally purchase alcohol in my country.

[cantilevers]

I'm going to need something more specific. I don't know where you're from or your age-based laws.

[ This might as well have Harold's name posted with it. Nonetheless, he's not about to live up to "altruistic introvert" label by oversharing. ]

I've no particular expertise in prosthetics, but I believe I should be able to restore it to working order if you're having difficulties.

[badlydisarmed]

[ Look at this one, straight to the point. Very promising. ]

It's never worked great, but it's completely busted now. A hook would work better.

[ornithologist]

[ Harold absolutely loathes having his medical issues commented upon so he's prepared to do this with a minimum of fuss and commentary. ]

In that case, I'm sure I can at least improve things. We can meet at the library if you're amenable.

Why do you need something like that fixed? Did it break on arrival or some shit?

[badlydisarmed]

Yes. Why do you care why it broke? Can you fix it?

[levelshift]

Fuck, you fall out of the sky instead of ending up in the hospital? I didn't know that could happen.

Depending on how advanced it is, maybe. But I'd have to look up a few things in the library, and there are other people around here who're better options. I'm also betting I fall under your definition of 'kid.'

1. Do NOT accept help from the hound guy's daughter. She will turn it into a bomb.

2. I actually DO have experience fixing prosthetics and for the sake of not letting these bozos turn yours into a science experiment, I'm willing to take a look.

[badlydisarmed]

You know, as paranoid as I am somehow "arm bomb" didn't cross my mind.

You got any prosthetics you could show me? Because if you're all from the same place, I have no fucking clue of what's the technology level there. I'd kill for an arm with fine motion control, mine doesn't have that even when it's working as it should.

[ascarylady]

You'd be amazed at how many explosives she can fit into almost anything.

And you said fix, not build, but it'll depend on the complexity of yours. I might be able to swing something if I know what I'm working with. So, same question. The ones I'm used to keeping up have complete motion control in the arm, shoulder, and hand, but chemtech is liable to be something you've never heard of.

I have mine currently if you want to look, only it's dead in the water until I strip the old hydraulics and replace them.

[ At least, she thinks that's the problem. ]

how did you fuck it up?

[badlydisarmed]

Helicopter fell on it. Tragic. Many lives lost.

[vexant]

I can't help you if you're gonna be an ass about it, dude.

( but look, he has switched to video so he can show: his two very not connected to his body prosthetics. he opens his hands, closes them tight into fists, opens them again - perfectly functional prosthetics, despite... the bit of space between them and his arms. )

I've got my own, and I've gotten pretty good with 'em over the years.

Have you had any luck yet, Robert?

[badlydisarmed]

[ Wowie, the robot remembered to call him Robert! ]

I have learned more about this one world than I ever wanted to. But yes, I've met several knowledgeable people.

Interestingly some of them seem to know you. Is "Connor" the name of your model?
