Hmmmm. Really good craftsmanship. *laughs* It's fine, I've done riskier things. *nods understandingly* Sometimes . . . it might be necessary to, though. To think of it as a part of you, I mean. *abruptly shrugs, then smiles* Yeah—after I take a scan with it sheathed, first. BL/inders are tricky about where they place trackers. *pauses* Hell no, not an x-ray—you'd have to have some pretty delicate parts, for the arm to work so close to a human level, and an x-ray might damage that. No worries, though, I'm just using nanelectronic pulses—more effective, less energy, etcetera, etcetera. *stands up, motioning to you* C'mon, let's find the scan room.

*nods and begins to follow you, glancing back down at the arm* Still, though. I can control this thing but I don't know if the guy that stuck it on me can still activate or deactivate it or not. It's just one of those things I'm not sure about. That's why finding a tracker is so important. If he can't see where the arm's located then it's truly mine to control...*sticks her hands in her pockets* If there is one, Ray...how would you take it out? This thing also came with nerve endings so I'd feel everything...if you were to cut it open or something.

*nods his head* That's pretty worrying, yeah. *turns his head to glance at you over his shoulder as he walks* Don't worry about feeling when I take it out—if there's a chip placed too close to a nerve bundle, what you've got to worry about is my extracting it without damaging the nerves. *doesn't elaborate on what would happen if any of the nerves in your arm were to be damaged, assuming you already know well enough; abruptly turns and pushes open a door, revealing a smallish chamber equipped with various machines*

Not sure if it's tracking, but it's definitely not a part of the mechanics of your arm. *looks at you, brown eyes dark with concern* Hey.
