I imagine Xantalos' char like those shady guys that sell illegal stuff, but with limbs.
A giant robobody is standing in the corner, only its head visible, sticking out through its cloak.
As you approach, it starts whispering to you.
"Psst. Psssst. Hey. Hey you."
You try to ignore it. It starts walking besides you.
"Hey, you looking for something good? Eh? You want something good? I've got primo stuff, right here."
Still following you, it opens up its cloak, revealing its merchandise.
"Limbs, you want limbs? Arms, legs, I've got all. And organs, I've got organs, freshly harvested last week. See? Seeeee? Eyballs, hearts, lungs. Still fresh, still red, still throbbing. Wanna touch them? They feel real. Come one, I'll make you a good price. Eh? Eh? Whadya say?"
"Limbs, you want limbs? Arms, legs, I've got all.
The MCP-II is five tokens, same as the old MK-II, right?3 tokens. 2 more tokens for the fleshknitter addon.
I just had a funny thought. Who's gonna get Xan into the ship? The only person alive is the pilot, and Xan is whipping through space at hundreds of miles per hour, if memory serves.
Speed is irrelevant in space. If pilot syncs up speeds he can easily move in front of Xan, remotely open hatch, slow down a little and Xan flies in by himself. Easy.
