[i] None of them even so much as flinched, but the one with glowing red eyes chuckled.[/i]
"Don't worry about Mr. May, he didn't send us. We've been told you were the man to come to for weaponized augments. So tada."
[i] He said, waving his hand at the girl in the middle.[/i]
"Our friend here had an unfortunate accident, and our employers aren't in the business of biological weapons."
"I had the skin seared from my bones, and the right half of my body detached from the rest of my torso. It wasn't an "unfortunate accident," Revenant. It was an atrocity."
[i] The girl said, not even flinching at the blade near her face, turning her attention to JT.[/i]
"Whatever the price, we can afford it."

[spoiler]I advise not being as cocky with them. JT will actually assault if they make any moves against him, just a heads up. [/spoiler] [i]JT thought for a moment, without lowering the blade even for a mere second, as he considered what to do. They weren't the type he would trust, and despite knowing he had the capacity to take them on, he refrained from combat. "Bring her to the second augmenting chamber. Now."[/i] [spoiler]And let me just clear something up: In the fight with Lance, I had to go easy on you, as everyone does for testing. JT has since received numerous upgrades and I will not hesitate to actually do combat if anything happens. [/spoiler]

[i] The one the girl called Revenant shrugged and began walking, her following in line, and the other man bringing up the rear. They came to the door, and while the girl stepped inside, Revenant and the other one stayed outside. Revenant must have noticed something, because he spoke to his companion.[/i] "Easy, Ghost. She'll be okay." [i] The second man, now acknowledged as Ghost, doesn't say anything to Revenant but looks at JT and speaks through the mask for the first time, his voice a ghostly whisper.[/i] "If she comes out anything other than okay, I will kill you." [spoiler]Dont take that as threatening, just him being him. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]I know. JT doesn't. [/spoiler] [i]"Touch me and I'll beat you to death with your boyfriend's legs," JT said as he quite literally meant his words. He had done stuff like that before. He led them to the second augmenting chamber and patted a steel bed in the centre of the room. "What'll it be today, ma'am?" [/i]
-
[i]The two men stayed outside, Revenant bursting into laughter. [/i] "Thats pretty funny. I like him." [i] Ghost said nothing, leaning against the doorframe of the closed door.[/i] ~~~ "Whatever you'd give someone who wants to be a living, revenge fueled weapon. Arms, leg, eyes, everything." [i] She says plainly, glancing at him up and down. [/i]
-
[i]"What limbs do you need worked on? I can make you from a perfectly normal human again to a weapon of war with your brain in a jar." [/i]
-
"I'd rather still be semi-human, at the very least." [i] The way she said it indicated she was obviously disgusted with the fact she had augmented limbs. [/i] "The metal arm and leg, my left forearm, and my eyes."
-
[i]"Fine, racist. Lay down." [/i]
-
[i] She does as indicated, resting her arms at her sides and eyes on the ceiling. The sooner she could be done with this, the sooner she could get back to plotting her vengeance on the one who'd done this to her. [/i]

[i]The Techno-Cowboy got to work on his job of augmenting the stranger, as a black wave of nanomachines swarmed over a mask, bringing it over to Eve as it was placed over her mouth. Soon her vision faded, and she drifted off into a miasma-induced sleep brought on by anaesthetics. When she awoke two and a half hours later, the Marshal had been done for a few minutes and the mask was removed when he did, the spare anaesthesia in her system keeping her asleep for a couple of moments. He was washing his tools, and as Eve awoke, she had noticeable changes to her body. The synthetic and real limbs looked completely identical on the surface, her skin squishy and hot as the other arms were, with the same colour due to her internal heat and the skin being replaced with a layer of shock absorbing gel beneath a rubberized coating of skin. [/i]
-
[i] She blinked a few times, sitting up and looking down at her previously metal limbs, now not being able to tell the difference between the real and fake ones. Her face didn't betray it, and she'd never say so..but it was impressive. [/i]
-
[i]"Since your comrades said money ain't an issue, I'll trust y'all. If your people lied, I'll reclaim your augs. Thirty five grand." [/i]
-
"What'd you do?" [i] She questions, not so much as flinching at the number. Obviously they'd been serious.[/i]
-
[i]Soon her HuD flashed as data was transmitted manually, giving her a complete list of the augs I PM'ed you. [/i]
-
[i] She blinked, the fact that she had a HUD now was slightly disorienting. Running through the list of them, she flexed her different limbs, deploying the weapons and putting them away. [/i] "They weren't joking..you are good." [i] A compliment, probably the only one he'd get from her. [/i]
-
[i]"Thank you. Now, get out of the chambers please." [/i]
