Ohfoor unzipped and removed his jumpsuit, as Rick gave him a quick once over. "It looks like a lot of old parts. Different manufacturers, different years. Except the torso and leg connectors. That looks new, and pretty flexible in connector types. You should be able to find or buy new arms and legs and still have them work." Rick started to unscrew the cover on the torso, "If I'm right, this'll all be new, and you won't have to worry about your internals for at least five to ten years. Won't even reach in, so don't worry about it." The cover popped off with a small amount of force, Rick looked a confused, then was holding his hand in front of his mouth as if a sour air hit his nose. He finally managed to spit out the words, "Holy shit. Yep. Internals are new... Except what isn't. Have you seen this? Your insides I mean." Ohfoor shook his head confused as his processors hummed within the now open chest cavity. Rick stood up, rifling through some cloth covered items in the corner of the room. He held a mirror out and angled it.
Ohfoor gazed into the mirror staring into the half-lit chest cavity. Inside, was a human skull covered in etchings occasionally glowing as electricity arched between it and his processors. Wait. The fuck? "...What?" was the only word that escaped his speakers. It took him half a minute of staring at the skull before he added, "Are you serious?" Rick just raised his hands into the air and furrowed his lip as if to say, 'how the fuck should I know'.
Rick raised a finger into the air, "Mind if I close that up? First time I've seen something like that and all, but the smell isn't exactly great." Not waiting for a reply he just grabbed the panel and screwed it back into place. "Anyways, Jon is setting you up with some people we used to know. If you want to make some money to get parts, ask to run errands." He tossed the white numbered jumpsuit back to Ohfoor, who quickly got dressed. "Right, how many credits are we working with for parts?" Ohfoor grabbed the cred stick and pressed down the button to show the amount. Rick just scratched at his head, "For that, we have some old manipulator arms. Pretty old, roughly as old as your current ones, but you'd have three fingers and a thumb instead of your old open/close flat hand. I can swing it for... 1,800c?"
Jon stepped into the room cutting the conversation short, "Rick, I set it up with the hotel down the block. They were a little hesitant to accept something that might be corporate tech. They want him to run a task before they'll even let him in the door." Rick just rolled his eyes, as Jon held out a massive mechanical hand gripping a small piece of paper with a phone number to Ohfoor, "They set up a line for instructions. Give them a call if you want a place to stay." Ohfoor took the paper and put it in one of the pockets of his jumpsuit.
Rick piped up, still wanting to do business, "So does that price sound reasonable?"
