Steel Waste Chapter 557
Advertisement
Afton was currently standing over Karl as the man lied down on a surgery table in nothing but a patients gown. Dala was floating next to him with scalpal, bone saws, and all her other tools ready. Behind them was another table that had two customized Cybernetic legs, and one Cybernetic hand that'd attach to Karl's arm... What was the reason they couldn't simply attack it at the wrist like a regular hand? Well, that'd be the enhancements Afton had added to it...
Karl looks up at Afton while sending sideways glances at Dala, "Er, you sure I can't just have you doing this? That crazy robot makes me uneasy..." he admits.
Afton shakes his head, "Unfortunately not, I need her to help with the operation... I'll make sure she doesn't try to castrate you mid-operation if that helps?"
Karl's eyes bulge from their sockets, "She might do that!?" he exclaims, almost squealing like a little girl.
"OOoooh, is the teddy bear giving me permission?" Dala asks while revving up her sawblade.
Karl pales at the sound of the whirring blade and tries to get up off of the table, but is unceremoniously held down by Afton, "Just calm down, Dala won't lay a finger on you. I just need her to hold the implants still while I install them... Before we start though, you got anything you want me to look at while we're here? I've already looked you over but, the patient knows best." he shrugs.
Karl purses his lips, "You think you could make my fella bigg-"
"No.""Yes" Afton starts but glances at Dala when he hears her reply.
...
"Increasing the size of a human's penis is not a difficult procedure. I simply need to remove it, clone its cells, and stitch the extra-large teddy tube back." she explains.

Karl quickly shakes his head, "Er, nope, no. No thank you... Kid, just put me out before I regret agreeing to this." he pleads to Afton who just nods and sticks him in the arm with an IV bag filled with a concoction of chems meant to knock him out... Afton had considered letting Kalr be conscious for the installation of the implants, but considering they would literally be connecting everything from his pain receptors, to his nerves, to his tendons to them, Karl was probably better off asleep.
Afton looks to Dala, "Alright, let's start on the legs first."
Thus the operation begins, the Cybernetic legs themselves looked sleek and were the familiar light blue/silver colour of Saturnite. They kind of looked like skinny plate leg armour you'd see medieval knights wearing... Truthfully, the design was a coincidence as Afton was just trying to design the most durable and effective limbs possible.
The feet of the legs didn't look like feet, in fact, you could walk around without any boots at all with these, they looked like sabatons. Though, Afton had already designed some footwear that Karl could use if he wanted to keep his implants clean.
Besides their obvious advantage to human legs in durability, they were actually much stronger than Karl's old legs... In fact, they could probably be considered at around super human level... Though, Afton was sure he was still stronger...
Honestly, he'd considered altering himself more, but he didn't know how that'd affect his stats... Would he lose strength if he replaced his limbs? Would his Perks still work? Yeah, not something he was willing to risk. Besides, if he wanted to do that he'd do it via mutations, not Cybernetics.
The operation was fairly difficult... Afton and Dala had basically stripped all the flesh away from Karl's legs in order to get to the nerves, tendons, and ligaments in order to connect them to the Cybernetics... Currently, it was too risky to try a straight neural interface, which is why making Cybernetics operate like they usually do would be the best option.

It was messy, gross, and rather unnerving work, but eventually, they'd properly fitted both legs. Afton examines them for a moment before nodding, applying a stimpack to Karl's thigh to heal it up a bit before beginning to test that they'd done everything correctly... He applies a light current to Karl's legs, and nods in satisfaction at the way the Cybernetic legs trembled.
This meant they were connected properly, and wouldn't have any problems once he woke up... Next was his new left hand though... Again, the hand looked like a gothic metal gauntlet, with segmented, sharp, and pointed fingers with sharp knuckles. The hand actually continues halfway up Karl's forearm, Afton was looking forward to Karl's reaction to it once it was installed...
Unlike the legs, Afton had to individually install the tendons of each finger, making it intricate and difficult work. Fortunately, he'd already performed this procedure on some of the criminal slaves he possesses and was relatively familiar with it.
Soon enough, the hand was installed, and after a couple more checks, Afton was satisfied with it. "Dala, time?"
"The operation took three hours, twenty minutes, and thirty-two seconds, to complete. It is now nine pm." she states.
Afton nods and wipes some sweat from his forehead, "Goodwork... But, you know this won't stop your punishment right?"
Dala nods her chassis. "I am aware... I still do not understand what you find unsatisfactory. My operation on your friend was a partial success."
Afton scowls, "Yeah, and a full success would have made her completely brain dead, so shut your mouth and know your damn place." he spits.
The only reason he hadn't properly punished Dala for Christine's sake yet, was the fake he intended something... Really special. He'd have Christine punish Dala once the robot had pain receptors, otherwise, it'd been like punching a robot... Only causing damage but doing nothing but potentially distressing it.
"You've got projects to continue with, attend to them. Glados, inform Karl's family that the procedure was a success, also, inform me once he'd awake." he states as he takes off his bloody clothing and leaves the room.
"Affirmative."

[Alternative Recode]
Parallel universes exist. Ten years ago, a terrorist organization called Liroli waged an all-out war against the World Order, bent on obtaining the means to travel between these parallel universes. Although the war ended with the government's victory, it was not without consequences. A poisonous element known as Lorine began leaking from the other worlds, bringing a plague that wiped out a third of humanity — the infamous May Death. Those infected gained strange abilities, in exchange for their certain death in a year. To counter the great plague that threatened humanity's survival, the government launched the World Restoration Project: gathering those infected and sending them into Lorine-polluted parallel worlds to seal the leaks between them. But it isn't that easy a task, as many dangers lurk behind these worlds, while those infected must deal with their own looming deaths. This is the story of Jack Waterfelt, the only human in the world immune to the May Death, and the 43rd Sealing Squad.
