IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
Day 2
12th March 2189
07:45 Earth Central European Time
Barnard's Rest Colony, Titan
Leaving the Engineering Facility hauling various tools and parts they rush across the colony to the Medical Clinic where they find Nurse Steve Richards. Squeezing into the cramped off-white space they lead Dr Johnson into the surgical suite and lie him down on the operating table, leaving a trail of blue drips behind him.
Nurse Richards looks wide eyed at the state of Jojo. 'I don't understand. This doesn't make sense. An android. That...wait, actually, maybe that explains a lot.' Pulling on purple nitrile gloves he strips off Jojo's shirt and inspects the wound in his chest.
'What the hell happened?'

"Jojo was impaled by a crystal spike," says Sam. "I cut it out with a cutting torch, but the internal systems may still be compromised, infected if you will.

“We need him back in some kind of working order,” explains Kiara. “But be careful not to touch any of that stuff. I’ll also need a sample of the foreign material to run some tests on.”

Richards busies himself around Jojo cutting back his synthetic skin to expose the complex machinery underneath. Shit, sorry, do you need anaesthetic while I do that?' he asks Jojo embarrassedly.
'I'm not sure what I can do. You don't need a nurse, or even a surgeon, you need a cyberneticist.'

"We've got an engineer and a computer expert," says Sam. "Together, we'll have to do." She sets to work trying to extract the remnants of the shard and effect what repairs she can.

Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
Working slowly and methodically, Sam, with the assistance of Kiara, prys the crystal shard out of Jojo's torso. They then set about correcting the most serious damage to the hydrodynamic system, which has lost a lot of fluid that they can't easily replace. There isn't much they can do about the structural damage to his endoskeleton and they can see that some fairly important core components have been compromised, in particular, the electronic submatrix.
Richards and Moses try to assist as best they can, but this is mostly passing tools and mopping up hydrodynamic fluid from the area they're working in.
Isabella takes Nicole into the clinic room.

"How are you functioning now?" Sam asks Jojo, still a little weirded out by the whole thing.

Jojo sits up and contemplates the hole in his chest, running diagnostics on his subsystems.
"The alien organism appears to be greatly diminished. I believe what remains of my repair systems will be able to prevent any further spread of the contamination." He looks at Sam and Kiara.
"Thank you for rendering assistance. I believe I have a better understanding of pain after having experienced your clumsy surgical techniques."
Without waiting for any response, he continues, "I shall need something to cover up this damage. It wouldn't do for people to see that the station's doctor is not entirely human."

“If we’re heading out to Waystation, I guess we’ll need surface suits. That’ll hide your, um, injuries,” Kiara suggests.
Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
"Um, you're welcome," says Sam, reminding herself that Jojo isn't human and doesn't know he said something offensive. "Yes, we need to head out for Waystation, but first there's that other thing we need to do." She meets Kiara's eyes. "No reason Jojo can't suit up now, though. Or just throw on a clean shirt for now, if you prefer."

Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
Nurse Richards starts suturing Jojo's synthetic skin and constructs a flap to fix over the hole in his chest. 'I can't do any cybernetic repairs but at least I can stitch you back up.'
Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
"We can try some additional cybernetic repairs," says Sam, "but it'll take about an hour. Do we have the time?"

“I suppose the longer we take, the more people could get infected,” muses Kiara.
“If Jojo is operational enough, we should press on.”
Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
"It's up to you," Sam says to Jojo. "If you're functional enough, we'll go now. Otherwise, we'll continue with the repairs."

"I believe that more work would be better. What you did was basically triage. I still require stabilization repairs." Jojo replies.

"Well, fair enough, let’s get started then Jojo," says Kiara, her hands flying expertly over the android's electronic systems.
Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
Sam assists Kiara, though she clearly doesn't need the help.

Re: IC - 16 - Cybernetics - Everyone Except Virgil
Sam and Kiara are able to reroute Jojo's electronic submatrix and reboot most of his damaged systems. Outside of a complete service and recondition there isn't anything more they can do. Richards finishes stitching up Jojo's chest and has done a remarkably good job all things considered, 'You're going to need some new clothes, I'll see if Dr Holzer left anything that might fit you.'
