[ So Cyborg wakes up in a pair of pants- which he promptly ditches, because why are they even. And he comes across a rather too-conveniently labeled book, which is truly too conveniently-labeled to be ignored.
Plus it appears to be for communication purposes. Really great replacement for high-tech, hand-held beautiful works of easy-to-use but ( Read more... )

I have heard of the Malnosso adding excess limbs - indeed that seems to be quite the common practise - but removing them?
Are you alright? Do you perhaps require medical assistance or is the wound closed already? [Robert can't tell that Cyborg is... well... a cyborg, yet, so he's operating off the principle that it's a flesh arm. Feel free to tell him otherwise.]

I don't need any medical assistance for this. I just need my arm. [ Haven't for a long time.
...words, words. ] So if someone's prosthetic was gone when they turned up, where would it go?

A... prosthetic? [So now the barbarian "scientists" are making life difficult for those differently-abled, too? It figures.] Bah, what imbeciles the Malnosso are.
I should expect that your prosthetic would be found in the items shop, unless there was some reason the Malnosso would confiscate it. [And more to himself:] Really, confiscating a prosthetic arm of all things? The Malnosso manage to sink to startling new lows on a regular basis...

... Ah. You are a New Feather, then? [That would explain why Robert hasn't heard this particular voice over the journals before. (Though it could also have been that he simply didn't register it.)] This would be my first time witnessing one of the so-called "New Feather cycles", then.
I trust that, despite the temporary [- hopefully -] loss of your limb, you are doing well enough here so far? This place can certainly be... jarring to those who are unused to paranormal activity, such as myself.

If you are from a world where none of those apply, you will quickly realize that the general physics of the populace are predisposed to cause you much in the way of mental discomfort. Though I have had magic demonstrated to me myself at this point, so it is not impossible for you to receive confirmation in that regard... But I understand if you are skeptical. That is the most logical way to react, after all. [In case you couldn't tell, Robert likes logic.]

That corner of the market, huh? [ Tell him he didn't get dropped into someone's apocalypse. ]

It seems odd for a person's universe to be completely free of such phenomena, here.

...really?

[As much as Robert hates the Malnosso, he also hates not having any of his Terran technology with him.]

[ At least all his technological-biological needs are online. ]

Hopefully this does not encumber you too greatly? Perhaps I could assist you as well, assuming my nanocomputer is ever given to me.

... but maybe I'll give you a call if I end up needin' help.

But forgive me my lack of formality on this point before - my name is Professor Robert Alexander Hastings. [There is still, occasionally, that urge to add "certified astrobiologist of the Randi Institute".]
