Plasma: ”Heh, so did you know Red Dive was trying to make us breakfast? She was being a fussy baby trying to deny it. It was so cute.”
Daisy: ”Oh really? That’s sweet… I was hoping she wasn’t always just grumpy. I guess she’s just not the type to be open with her feelings.”
Plasma: ”You can say that again. I thought she was going to kick me while I was feeding her. She is a prideful one. But enough about that, I got a question for you. Are you a party girl under all that fluff and geek gear? That’s why you had all that booze ready in the fridge right?”
Daisy tenses up and gives you a smile that you can’t help but feel is less than sincere.
Daisy: ”Oh, eh yeah. I’m just a total party dog ya know. I uh, like to bring my stash to places and all that. Ha ha.”
Plasma: ”I bet your big bro had a lot of trouble reeling you in back in the day?”
Daisy: ”Yeah, he did. He is a real stickler for rules. I love him but he’s a huge wuss sometimes. He threw a huge fit when I decided I wanted to be a merc and work on a ship. He doesn’t like that we bend the rules a lot, says we’re just as bad as space pirates.”
Plasma: ”Oh. Guess we won’t be getting a big thanks from him then.”
Daisy: ”Probably not given what might happen when we get there. We’ll probably have to fight our way out even if Red Dive can get us in easily.”
Plasma: ”Well, we still have the clone plan. I guess I’ll have to do some scouting with Red to see if we can think of a quick escape route.”
Daisy: ”Oh, I know! I could use my drone to look around.”
Plasma: ”That would be great, then we wouldn’t be going in blind. If they have a security system, could you hack into the cameras?”
Daisy: ”Eh, that’s a bit out of my area of expertise. I’m more a mechanical kind of girl, so I mainly run into computer stuff if I’m programming ships, mechs, and robotics. I could probably hack into a system but I’d likely get caught. That stuff requires a more… Feminine touch… I’m too brutish.”
After some more small talk, you spend the next couple of minutes looking at some of the medical magazines and some of the augments they have available here. You try to see if they have anything on horn replacements but you don’t find anything, probably because this clinic specializes in augmentation installation. Still though these days you can learn quite a bit from just a medical magazine. You bet with enough practice and the right reading you could refresh yourself on your medical skills.
Plasma gained medical knowledge: Augment up-keeping
Augmentation list:
1250 credits — Light armored Kevlar skin layer with camo: An armored mesh that is seamless especially when you turn on the camo feature.
1300 credits — Targeting eye: Hook up your brain to a targeting computer and almost never miss a shot.
1550 Credits — Muscle enhancement: Afraid of beach bullies? Well worry no more with this seamless augment that increases your muscle power ten fold.
1550 Credits — Reaction enhancement: Want to never drop anything ever again? Wanna just impress friends with your awesome juggling skills? With this processor in your brain you can do that and much more.
You ask Daisy why some of these descriptions seem more like they make the parts out to be luxury commodities. She then explains that it’s because the militia is trying to make more military grade augments illegal, so to cover their backs clinics started changing the descriptions of their wares.
About an hour later Red Dive comes out with a purple earth pony mare while sporting her new talons.
Nurse: ”Okay Miss Dive. If anything feels off, be sure to come back for adjustments.”
Daisy: ”Red, you’re back! How do the limbs feel? Is it good? I hope I did a good job.”
Red flexes her new arms and with a twitch a long machete blade pops from her wrist.
Red: ”They feel good, really good.”
Daisy: ”Wow, so cool. What do you think Plasma? Plasma?”
You would check on Red… But you have another priority first. Thanking the nurses. You work your way around Red and do your thing.
Plasma: ”Well helllllooo Nurse~! Are you who I have to thank for this medical miracle?”
Nurse: ”Um no… I’m just a nurse. How old are you?”
Plasma: ”Well, you’d better be a cardiologist, because something about you makes me want to give you my heart.”
Red: ”Nurse can you take me back cause I think I’m about to vomit.”
Then a young flamboyant looking unicorn stallion pushes his way in between the two of you. He has a slightly higher tone of voice and he smells just like strawberries.
Arliel: ”Now sir I don’t believe that Miss Citrus has the time to be socializing. It’s ok dear, go back to work.”
The male nurse gives a wink and she smiles back at him as she heads back further into the clinic.
Arliel: ”I just got off work, the name is Arliel. So if you’re interested in talking shop, we could head out and discuss biochemistry~”
What do you do?
