[ When Rhys starts the feed, he's leaning against the hood of one of the trucks between the warehouses in town. He's got a new shirt on, courtesy of Foodland, and has decided to forego the vest and tie, at least for the time being. ]
Hi, fellow captives!
[ He probably shouldn't sound so cheerful with a greeting like that. ]
For anyone who doesn't know me, the name's Rhys Strongfork. I've been exploring the town since yesterday and I found a few things that might be useful. First of all, I found these things.
[ He gestures over his shoulder with a thumb. With his metal hand, for anyone who might react to it. ]
If anyone's good at cars, maybe we could take a look at them and see if we could use them. It'd be an efficient way to cart supplies from the town to the cabins, if nothing else.
I also found greenhouses! Only one was actually whole as far as I could see, but there are seeds and everything, so if there's someone who likes gardening, we could try growing our own food.
Lastly, I found an abandoned train. I managed to open a couple of the cars and found beer and toasters, and also lots of boxes? But I couldn't open all of them, probably because they've been standing there for a while. I don't have a lot of brute strength so if anyone would like to help me open the others, I'd appreciate it!
Rhys, out.
[ He makes a salute, then ends the feed. ]

Why? [ And maybe more importantly: ] What does it do?
[ The cybernetics appear to extend beyond his wrist, which has K wondering if it doesn't enhance the strength of his entire arm. Maybe those boxes are just beyond the capacity of the cybernetics. ]

[ He turns his head to the right and taps his left temple, where the port is. ]
The eye can scan things, and anything I have stored in the hard drive I can bring up like a hologram from my hand. For example--
[ He brings the cybernetic hand into view again, turning the palm up and spreading his fingers. A light spreads out from a circle in the middle of his palm and quickly turns into a picture of the lake with a square marking the island in the middle, along with a note: Appeared overnight? Covers the hatch? ]
Pretty cool, right?
no subject
[ Can't deny that. And it is, admittedly, pretty cool.
But with how quickly outdated technology tends to be, it seems strange to have it installed directly into one's own body rather than relying on external devices. Also exponentially more dangerous, because: ] What if you get hacked?
[ Sure would be a shame if the resident technology deity decided to have fun trolling Rhys, huh. ]
no subject
[ Well, first, the AI that hacked you decides to manipulate you to get his way, while carefully hacking more and more of your system without you noticing. Then, when you decide that you're done going along with his every whim, he tries to choke you with your own cybernetic arm. ]
Well. I'd no longer have control over it, which is obviously pretty bad. But I can't really undo it, so.
[ SHRUG. ]
