Patient: Bret, Captain of the Maverick V
Location: Robotics and Bionics Lab
Condition: Good
Bret was brought aboard Med.Force, his right arm amputed just below the elbow. He would wake up in intensive care after the infection where the cut was made was drained, cleaned and properly treated. Not that it was relevent but John Holliday later found out that it was the work of the Gallic Legion.
"A good example of why vagrants shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine," was his response.
Once conscious, Bret was brought to the lab where he was shown everything from a basic arm that would allow him to live as he always had right up to one that was was a technician's dream. But, that wasn't what he wanted. He wanted firepower! He wanted something that would make those responsible sorry. Dr. Holliday talked him into compromise before he turned him over to the robotics lab team.
He was fitted with an arm that joined the "Ball" of where his arm ended. A titanium sleeve went to just below his shoulder. Sensors that had been placed where the nerves of his arm were cut mated up to another pair of sensors that allowed for his nerves to continue working as they had before. The arm itself was held in place by a very strong magnetic force that was shielded so as to not affect the electrical impulses that made it work nor would it disrupt nearby electrical fields and components. It's re-enforced structure and tempered armor exterior was lightweight yet extremely durable.
The best part of it thought was where the attachment went. The "hand" that was attached was used for everyday purposes and operated like a normal human hand. It too was metallic but it was also detacheable. This allowed for Bret to have what he wanted, his revenge. He was fitted with a weapon module which added some length to the arm itself. Some sliding braces went up to just below the elbow for support. It's primary function was that of a heavy plasma blaster, a "one shot, one kill" weapon that could be regulated from the user's mind. On either side of the arm, sharp blades emitted from the sides and would also project foward, kind of like a rifle with a long bayonet but with sharp sides. It was the perfect hack and slash weapon.
After some testing, instruction and some rehab, Bret was medically cleared and told to return from time to time to have it checked over, to even get new mods and upgrades for it.
"Believe it or not, Bret, this is a new area of study to Med.Force.One," explained the lead tech, "so you're input and your feedback will help us."
