[Eighty First Cord]: [Video] [Locked from Quatre, Filtered to DATS, open to other Frendlies]

[Haku is sitting at her home office, looking rather tired. She's actually gotten sleep (at the insistence of her friends who noticed she went over a week without properly recharging) but she just woke up, which accounts for the messy state her hair is in and how groggy she still looks. There's a small stretch of silence from her before she finally decides what she wants to say.

She figures its better to not bring up all things things that are actually on her mind, and get to the point - she has an idea and she wants feedback as well as help.]

So... I've been doing a lot of side work. Keeping myself busy when Eikichi and Hanako are at school. [by which she means "unable to sleep because my mind won't shut up"]

I think... I have a way to improve automail prosthetic. Dart has been helping me out with blueprints and draw ups and all that, and we think there's a way to combine more modern technologies, including Vocaloid-type cybernetics, with automail bases and metals. The result - we hope - will be a lighter, easier moving prosthetic with a shorter healing time, the ability to reintroduce the sense of touch, and a synthetic skin cover to make it look like a real limb.

So far I've really only gotten arms worked out, and Sarasim has kindly agreed to become a test subject for a full shoulder-to-finger arm. The fact that she already has automail should make the procedure seamless, and if it works on her...

Well... I'm hoping that the next step can be giving the same thing to Quatre to replace the hands he lost.

For Quatre, though, we're going to need medical assistance. This entire thing is in its beta stages and even with Dart's nurse friend, Ana, we're still not 100% sure we've got everything proper and right for what Quatre needs. I haven't brought this up with him yet. I want to make sure it works on Sarasim, first.

[attached: several 3D mock ups of an arm, ( 1 2 3 4 )including a picture of her own arm without the skin on as an example.]

And of course, the more we improve on this, the more I can make to assist anyone else who ever winds up in the situations, be it arms or legs.

[she pauses, making a face at the camera]

Vent... I know I'm on suspension, but... I really want the chance to do this. I swear I won't do any other work if you let me. And I won't do it alone, either. I'll even let Ciel or some one else oversee the entire procedure.

So... I guess that's it... any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

[she reaches forward, hesitates a little, then shuts it off]

Thank you...

Maybe a little bit? I don't want to have this force me to take time away from my family, but she could probably use some one to watch her for a few hours after school every day.

I understand completely and it'll be no trouble for us at all. I know Elicia will be rather happy about it as well.

Those two are rather attached at the hip, aren't they? [chuckle warmly] I'm glad Hanako is making friend so quickly.

Re: [vid.] / locking from Elicia now.

They are, aren't they? But they are cute. [Laughs.] Her father would be cooing at how cute they are together if he was still around.

And shoving pictures in everyone's faces.

He did that even when she wasn't here.

[quietly]

I miss him... but he'd be happy to know we're taking good care of Elicia.

That wouldn't surprise me one bit. [Short laugh. Oh Hughes. How she misses your picture shoving ways.]

Maybe Yggdrasil will bring him back one day. Hopefully. The Brigadier General would be thrilled that she's taken to swiftly to calling Roy 'Uncle', too.

Well Roy is very much Uncle to many of us. Its fitting, really. Alex and Maddie absolutely adore him.

Yea. He's good with kids. It's a good trait to have and it's admirable in him. [Unlike Riza woho still holds herself back, but she's getting better. Really.] I hope to be as half as good as him one day.

You're better than you give yourself credit for, Riza. Really. I wouldn't trust you as much as I do if that wasn't the case.

Thank you Haku. It means a lot to me.

I simply do what I can to help. However I am able to. Speaking of, if you require any aid extra with this, simply ask and I will do what I am able.

I'll keep that in mind, but for now I think we're alright. We're still in the beginning stages of this anyway.

Very well.
