Boo.

[They turn to Retro, flipping their goggles up before squinting down at him, mechanical arms drawing back but not retracting.] Yyyyes. Retro? What do you need?

Ssoo, I remember seeing that your arm was, once again, not in peak condition since the last time I was here. Mind telling how it got this way again?

[A twitch of their fingers makes them give up immediately, the pain just irritating them. They let the cloak shift away from the arm.] Yes, yes, fine. First it was Bishop, then it was- uhhh, I crash-landed during Nova’s fight. Several other misadventures and mistreatments later.

Sighs, And have you tried anything towards- you know- actually caring for it while I was out of commision?

I’m a mutant, I’ve got super healing abilities and whatever and I have work to do, Retro, seriously, have you seen my to-do list- [he already knows he’s lost the argument. They just have to put up a fight anyway. For the sake of saving face. Their shoulders have hiked up half-heartedly.]

You listenining? No listen, arm go bye bye, okay?

And don’t- speak to me like that.

Well, first off. Obviously, we are going to have to re-break it since it can't stay like that. Then you might have to go through surgery to re-align the bone if need be. Other than that, should just be a simple cast and sling. And OF COURSE, no use of it, so it can properly heal.

Yes?

Sure… Hey but like isn't that all my job, shouldn't I be doing most of that. >:C

[The mouth on his screen opens, like he wants to answer, but he doesn't know how he should.]

[He shifts his arm back under his cloak, and his extra arms start twitching towards the keypad again.]

@r3tr0-s

S-So, What d-did you work o-on? [His voice still glitchy, but he didn't mind.]

Already?? I forgot how fast you work. That's good, it's not fun missing an arm, but It's not like I can feel it anyway. Thank you.

[They pick up the arm from the desk, the shell’s arms wiping it down with a cloth.] Give me your shoulder?

This good?

With your memory drive - I have a program from when I rebuilt Shelldon that will help. It should restore as much as it can. As with his, though, it can’t restore everything. A lot of his memories were destroyed and never retrieved, I feel yours might be the same.

Either way, I'm sure it'll be fine. There are worse things that could happen. [That could've happened.]

[He tried his hardest to not let hus guilt show.]

But before that - what's the problem?

Uh, w-what problem? I-I am p-perfectly fine. Th-There is no p-problem here. [He has a very nervous tone.] Promise, e-everything is f-fine.

Uh, pro tip: Saying "there is no problem here" "everything is perfectly fine" in a tone that conveys the exact opposite is actually ten times more concerning than just stating the problem. I would really like to just fix the problem instead. Or at least know what there is to be preparing for. So dearest Retro, what is wrong?

..sighs, O-Okay. I uhm. I f-feel really guilty about you h-having to do a-all of, t-this. Like, you d-didn't have to, and e-everything is my fault. If I w-would've stayed in the b-base, none of this would've happened.

Retro, it's fine. I already said it's fine. This is my job, you are part of my job, so is keeping you alive. You're an AI, it was bound to happen that you'd make a decision with an unfavourable outcome. Nova's done it, Shelldon's done it (many, many times), I've done it. Frankly, if anyone is to blame for that, it's me, but uhhhhh... No further comment.

I- You s-sure?

[Retro hopes he isn't making anyone feel guilty is he is.]

Can I give you your program now? Are you satisfied. Is there something else I can do
