Biomimetic means it's copying somethin' organic. [a bug, in this case.] As for the augmentation part-- well, plenty of people in the City don't keep their original limbs these days. Prosthetics have gotten pretty advanced, and you won't stand a chance if you've ever gotta fight someone with 'em and you don't have any body modifications at all.

They're not always weapons. [...] And most people pick 'em, sure. Sometimes you're stuck with what you can afford, but it's usually at least functional.

...all right, all right, if you're that curious.

[he can tell when something isn't going to be let go, and while he doesn't offer this up on his own-- the guy's been warned, at least.]

I didn't need a replacement. Never asked for this, either-- this is just what they were experimenting with, at the time.

I'm the 'lucky' subject, y'know. It was more successful with me than the rest.

[thanks for not asking further questions, buddy.

after considering this for a minute:]


Y'know what, surprise me.
