Looking for anyone out there with information on people who have experience with advanced, robotics-adjacent prosthetics. Specifically maintenance and repair, not design. Discretion required.

[You kids and your fancy usernames... ;) ]

Ain't opposed to letting anyone take a look. I mean it's attached to me, people are gonna see it if I want them to or not.

What do you mean you talk to technology though? How does that work?

[tinglesense]

oh i guess that's a good point

i mean i can sort of just see where things go and how they work when i touch a computer or something
so i can get it to do what i need it to do
i'm not 100% sure of the how of it yet but it's like i can feel it? it's not really TALKING like i don't hear voices or something
haha that would be super weird!

[sinistral]

Good point or not it's reality. Could be better, could be worse. No sense wishing for either one.

I'm not going to pretend to understand how that all works, but I'm assuming it's not invasive. Like, you don't have to take things apart. That makes it a pretty attractive option.

[ Bucky sure is practical about this, but...he's also right. Wishing things were different wouldn't change anything. ]

idek how it all works yet but i'm figuring that part out
whoa no i def don't have to take anything apart! it's more like
not like an x-ray exactly
actually i'm not sure it's LIKE anything else bc i don't have anything to compare it to lol
but i promise no taking anyone's arm apart

[ Maybe he shouldn't make promises about powers he only has a 50% understanding of, but whatever ]

[sinistral]

[If wishes were fishes something something I always forget how that one goes.]

The not taking it apart thing is the important point. So yeah, I don't think it'll hurt to let you try. Got nothing to lose, right?

[Live your best life Peter!!!]

[tinglesense]

right! nothing to lose!

[ Except theoretically an arm! Which Bucky's already lost. But surely it won't be that bad. Peter hasn't had any wild missteps with technology yet and doesn't plan to start now. ]

what do you want me to look at? i assume you don't have schematics for it so i'm probably relying on this whole tech power thing but still

[sinistral]

[And thus the foreboding foreshadowing music starts to play...]

No, I don't have any kind of schematics. Nothing's wrong with it. Just want to make sure it stays that way. And make sure there's nothing that could be a problem, I guess.

[tinglesense]

ok! i can definitely look at that just for upkeep
also ngl it sounds really cool to look at
sorry i just like seeing how things work so i guess this was the perfect random superpower to spring on me

[ He doesn't have any idea about how Bucky got a fake arm, and he's too polite to ask that in a text post. Maybe in person. ]

[sinistral]

[Nothing could possibly be uncomfortable about this entire thing, mwahaha]

I guess we'll see how it goes.
