The laser scanner, shaped like a pistol, swept over my new prosthetic arm and leg. A grid-patterned laser passed over my limbs. It was a non-destructive integrity test. If there were any unnecessary or suspicious foreign substances, they would be immediately detected.
Beep.
The scan results came back clean. Even so, I couldn’t let my guard down just yet.
Creak, creak.
I moved my fingers one by one, starting with the ones that had finished being scanned. Even though they were covered with artificial skin, the unfamiliarity made them produce a rough sound.
‘It’s much better than what I was using before.’
Despite being brand new, it felt natural. The signal stability and compatibility were excellent, making the sensation remarkably similar to my previous prosthetics.
Even though it was a new prosthetic, its output was nearly identical to my old one. That was to be expected—I had already been using the highest-output prosthetic available within my class specifications. To increase the output any further, I would either have to enlarge my frame or undergo a full-body prosthetic conversion.
I closed my eyes and focused my hearing.
Tap.
I tapped my new prosthetic arm and leg with my fingers, listening to the sound waves as they spread. Even from the returning sound, I couldn’t detect any foreign substances. This was reassuring enough.
