Ren was blissfully under the effects of anesthesia. Viktor examined the Ren's body with approval. He was far healthier than when he first scoped the kid off the street, so much so that Viktor was surprised with the tenacity that Ren displayed. Some would say that it was Ren's desire to live and spry personality that helped him bounce back, but Viktor didn't believe in such foolish nonsense. He knew Ren's recovery was due to his young body's fresh cells healing him quickly. Whatever the reason, Ren's body was healthy and ready to receive its prosthetic.
Subject is prepared. Prosthetic is prepared. Muscles and nerves have been fit to machinery more intimately than mine.
Viktor cradled the new limb in his hands. It was another beautiful creation. Its shell was made of titanium that shone a sleek silver, while the pylon of carbon fiber and aluminum gave the limb a light-weight center. The limb gave off a chemical smell from the sealant coatings that always left the faint flutter of excitement in Viktor's stomach. It was an excitement that only grew as he placed the limb alongside Ren.
Should move as natural limb. Experimental procedure. Will monitor recovery closely. If successful, could be used as a base for V-BBC.
He had finished treating his stump before fetching the prosthetic. The base now ended in what looked like an intricate socket, with latches along its rim and gears at its base. This socket was far more advanced than the peg sock could ever have dreamed of being and was a much more permanent fixture to Ren's anatomy. It would likely be days before Ren would be able to put on or take off his leg without assistance. With a steady hand, Viktor locked the limb into place. The thin tips of his mechanical hand closed latches easily where his fleshy hand would have fumbled. For a moment he considered quickly replacing several of the adolescent's fingers so that he may be able to perform the task with similar ease, but threw away the plan almost as quickly as it had sprung up.
It would he dangerous for him to have such autonomy.
At last, Viktor was prepared to put the final piece in place. He opened a small container and pulled a hextech crystal from inside of it. It was not unlike the crystal that powered his staff and glowed a dull red color like an ember. Viktor placed it inside the limb through an access panel in the back. He screwed the panel shut and the limb became active with a dull whirl, as if the machinery was taking a deep sigh. Ren twitched in his sleep, but remained under the effects of the anesthetic.
Beautiful sound.
Viktor picked up a small remote that connected to the limb and pushed a cycle to have it go through its basic movements. He glanced at Ren's face every few seconds to ensure that he was still asleep. Much to his delight, the leg finished its demo without any hindrance. Only one great snore, that was more akin to a hog's grunt, was an indication that Ren had felt anything. Viktor attached an IV to the area and collected his surgical equipment for cleaning.
Success.
