[Pharma is busy putting away tools when the video turns on. His acolyte, who's usually bustling around while the medic addresses the camera is no where to be seen.

It should be worth noting that Pharma is actually holding the tools he's putting away.]

I'm afraid the vast repertoire of hand jokes are no longer going to be relevant. Loathe as I am to take away everyone's fun, I thought you should all know that I'm now better equipped to treat patients.

[The new hands are sleek and well crafted, just the right shade of blue, and.... claws.]

Not that I wasn't capable before. But it's much more convenient this way.

You didn't have hands before, dude? Bummer. Sorry t'hear that. But glad you got 'em back!

Re: VIDEO;

[organ_pharming]

[Someone who actually didn't know? With the way everyone seemed to have a remark ready before he'd even met them... Pharma had assumed everyone knew.]

It was a huge inconvenience. Especially to someone of my skill level.

Kinda hard to be a doc without hands, I bet. But I'm glad you're all repaired now.

Re: VIDEO;

[organ_pharming]

Extremely. I'd like to think I did an excellent job with what I had. [Because really, Pharma thinks everything he does is excellent.]

You and all the future wounded, ha ha.

[not_halfbaked]

Treat patients, huh? Do you know Ratchet and Knock Out?

[organ_pharming]

Yes, although being a medic seems rather redundant around here. Fortunately, I happen to be very good at what I do.

Knock Out is the mech I commissioned these hands from, actually.

And Ratchet... [His lip curls a little.] Ratchet is extremely unpleasant.

[not_halfbaked]

[Gives low, impressed whistle.] Knock Out made those? Cool.

[But frowns a little.] Maybe you don't know Ratchet very well.

I'm glad to see you could get those fixed sir.

...why claws though?

Re: [Video]

[organ_pharming]

Why thank you, Agent Blurr.

It.... was a cultural misunderstanding. Apparently in Knock Out's universe all jets have them.

[Video]

[raceme]

Just Blurr is fine honestly sir.

How curious...De-cep-ti-cons have claws in mine but not all of them BUT it's better than having no hands at all I imagine. Just be careful not to scratch one of your optics out by accident.

You know what they say--

"All the more to grab things with"!

Or something like that.

Re: [Video]

[organ_pharming]

Grabbing is a little too unprofessional sounding for me.

[littlecrowgirl]

Po-tay-toe po-tah-to.

'All the better to use-your-hands-to-grasp-the-whisk-firmly'.

That better?

[docbot]

Ah. I see you've decided to drop the pretense and move straight to mauling your patients like a mad bird, then?

[ Sorry, the jokes are just going to be different now, instead of stopping. ]

[organ_pharming]

[He just knew you'd have something nasty to say.]

Mauling? Don't be silly. I wouldn't want my technique to be mistaken for yours.

[docbot]

[ It's a gift. ]

I don't think there's ever going to be any risk of that.

Tell me, how are you planning on sterilizing your new scalpels... or do you plan on just licking them clean?

[aerospacecommander]

How did you even treat patients before you had hands? Magical mind powers?

[organ_pharming]

Ha! As much as I'd like to say yes to the magical powers, it was something a little less exciting. Liege Maximo gave me an acolyte to assist with my procedures.

[aerospacecommander]

So what did you do? Say 'Okay, cut there, no, I mean there.' ?

Did anyone lose any body parts during your procedures?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

As long as the claws don't prove to be a problem and are not invasive with your work, I don't see the problem with them. [He sounds a little defensive over your claws because that's how Ambulon operates - not literally, though.] Though, in a sense, they match your features. [That's a compliment or something.]

Re: [video]

[organ_pharming]

They shouldn't be. I'd like to think I'm a bit more skilled than that.

[He raises a brow ridge at that last comment.] ....Do they? How so?

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

You've always had a sharpness about you, Pharma. Wit, personality, edge. That's what I mean. [Again, this is a compliment or something.]

[lifepersists]

That's great, Pharma. [ They're um. Claws though. Okay. ]

How are they performing?

[organ_pharming]

It is, isn't it? [He dares you to say something about the claws.]

Much better than no hands, rest assured.

[lifepersists]

[ He's thinking about it. ]

Oh, definitely. They won't be as good as your old hands though, will they?
