[ this feels like something they shouldn't be doing in and/or around a blanket fort, but ... well. Here they are. Fiora still looks hesitant - the aura of her emotions makes it clear that she's both ashamed of her problems and scared of what the outcome might be - but she's brave and resolved enough to nod. ]
Yeah. It's here. You probably shouldn't touch anything, though. Not while we're all shocking each other.
[ she also hasn't done this while she's conscious, so she prays it doesn't hurt. She puts a hand to the triangular brass piece below her collarbone, and, after a moment, manages to safely remove it along with the panel covering the majority of her chest, revealing more machinery than skin. Said machinery is also quite alien, not resembling much on Earth - but there is one part inside the cavity that looks like it came from another machine, attached to a metal box sitting near where her heart should be. ]
[But he can take a look at least! That is...definitely impressive. He lets out a low whistle, eye peering as he looks over the setup. This part...seems like it came from somewhere else, that's for sure.]
That's the part you were talking about? I'll have to take the metal box out and see how it connects, of course. Not now, but later.
Er... probably. I'll be honest, I was unconscious when she put it in.
[ looking down at all of it makes her feel a bit queasy - not only because she's looking at her insides, but because she doesn't even recognize them as part of her. It's like looking inside a piece of equipment. Fiora starts to refasten the exterior perhaps a little sooner than she should. ]
I -- I think so. It must be, right? [ she feels so utterly useless here. Meyneth had known how to keep the Mechon body working; Fiora's never felt her loss so keenly. ] And yes. I'd passed out after a lot of exertion, that's all.
me immediately regretting this thread because canon doesn't explain how anything works

You think you can do something?

[That definitely nets Fiora a concerned look.]
Uh. I could, maybe. Its all about reestablishing and strengthening the connection between you and it, right?
