If I understand this right, there could be people here I know, despite that I could swear I just talked to them at home, right? [Luke frowns, looking rather tired as he runs a hand through his hair, sitting at the console in the Welcome Center.] In that case, if anyone knows if Leia Organa or... [A pause, because does it work if the last you knew someone was frozen in carbonite and basically in coma?] Han Solo are here, please tell me. Or tell them Luke's looking for them.

[He smiles briefly, his expression brightening a little in general. Something strikes him then, though, and Luke's gaze lowers for a moment, frowning at something out of view before he looks up again.]

Aside from that, I'd like to know what sort of prosthesis are available, and the tools to repair them. Or if the tools could be adjusted for already existing ones. I don't need any of that at the moment, but you never know.

[Better be as prepared as he can, before something happens, for once. Especially in a new place. He's had his new hand not two weeks yet, and he's very, very aware of it... which is probably why this occurred to him at all.]

Action

[Vincent takes oen of the power cells, holding it up to the light.

He grunts, frowning, having not seen anything quite like it.]

I'll need to look into it a bit more, but I don't have any equipment right now. One sec.

[He picks up his phone, opens the Camera app and starts taking photos of the cell from every angle, rotating it around in his palm. It's better than nothing, and he's not going to let someone go without an arm until he can secure some kit.]

That'll have to do for now. [He holds out the cell to Luke.] I'll let you know if I can do something, but it might be a while. If you find someone else, let me know? I'd be interested to see how they do it.

[Luke nods, waiting and not noticing that, as he did so, he ends up flexing his right hand and rubbing his fingertips together, distantly caught in some morbid fascination over how it feels - or doesn't.]

I'd let you keep it if the functions weren't as affected as they are, taking just one of them out. [Taking it back, he slots it back in with more practiced than true ease, smiling wryly.] But I can do that, at least. Or temporarily hand it over, whenever you have equipment... unless it means taking it completely apart.

And if you or someone else manages to duplicate it, maybe it'll be of use to more people, too.

Not much in Keelial runs on power. They've got a basic electricity grid, but other than that, nothing much. We might be able to change that.

[He shrugs.]

Or, at least, it'll make sure one guy gets to keep his hand. I'm fine with either outcome.

[flyinglight]

Or at least try and make it more effective, maybe?

[Luke rubs his chin thoughtfully, then grins wryly.]

Selfishly, getting to keep my hand is pretty high on my list of priorities. Losing one once was more than enough.

[He pretends to not feel the awful little stab somewhere low in his stomach just mentioning that bring about and shrugs.]

[sadisticmoose]

[A nod.]

I've known guys who've lost limbs before. I know what you mean.

I'll see what I can do, mate.

[flyinglight]

Pretty sure it's never a fun experience, no. [Luke shakes his head.]

Thanks. It's nice not to have to rush and try to find alternatives myself.

[sadisticmoose]

Well, no promises, so, I'd probably still keep looking, yeah?
