Do you even need the harness when you've got that? Does it need body power at all?

Maybe I was misunderstanding how the earlier arms worked. Thought there was a little myloelectric power from where it connected to you?

But that sucks if they gave you the socket but nothing that fits it yet. We can probably find a way to rig up something waterproof.

I was thinking silicone. We might be able to find or even make something large enough. If it's shaped to your shoulder, you'd be able to reuse the same thing, and silicone's stretchier so it'll conform and not just fall off.

Uh, wrong kind of silicone. Not like

Not like boob implants, James.

The thin, form-fitting, stretchy kind, like they use in swim caps? We shape it to the shoulder socket, and it'll work perfectly.

[Because you know what never mind Togusa isn't winning this one.]

Get me the measurements of your shoulder-piece, I think I know somebody who can help.

And then can I see how the cyber-arm works?

Don't know if you've met, Mariko's an old family friend. Also on the app, so she'd understand. And she's a lot more discreet than I am.

Other specialty. She's the person other than me who has any knowledge of the tech.
