Yo fleeters -

Can I just say I'm like 95% relieved we left Planet Creeperfuck and its creepy as fuck messages behind? I say 95% because there's a legit 5% chance that the moment I relax will be the moment I get eaten.

I actually have a few other things to bring up except for alien movie tropes:

1. thumbs up to everyone who came to the winnsco halloween party. major thumbs up to those who stayed to help us clean up.

2. superheroes, enhanced humans, friendly, gorgeous alien ladies ( sup kara ) and other supereverythings - I have a bone to pick with you regarding a creepily fast hologram of a creepily fast creepily-everything speedster from my world. I want to make sure that if he comes here, we're not doomed so if you want to practice your moves, I'm your man.

regular humans are always invited but lemme tell you, it's pointless to shoot at a speedster and also I think hank has a rule about no bullets on our ship.

3. I have started preparing for my first ever Space Christmas. if you need twinkle lights or other engineered decorations, I'm at the blameless, you can come and order some. free of charge if your'e willing to help.

4. yes, there will be space engineered mistletoe. no, you don't get a choice where it goes. yes, I have spies everywhere. yes, it will give you a minor electric shock if you try to remove it. yes, I will know about it.

I don't need money

there's nothing for me to spend it on in a world with no pizza, candy or computer games

tragic I know

what can I do for you?

text;;

[reconstitution]

Think you could take a look at my arm?

text;;

[benames]

uh

yeah

but I'm no doctor

genius mechanical engineer on my earth

pretty awesome space engineer here.

text;;

[reconstitution]

That's fine. There's not much flesh and bone to speak of.

text;;

[benames]

what

hold on

it's a prosthetic?

yep, I'm your man. can do.

text;;

[reconstitution]

Yes, it's a prosthetic. It's a little more complex than the average.

text;;

[benames]

now we're talking

is it a sort of 'complex' you can explain or should I just take a look at it?

text;;

[reconstitution]

Probably best if you take a look.

[ But he'll attach a photograph of his arm, where the metal becomes rusted and exposes the inner mechanics. ]

text;;

[benames]

oh my god


it really is christmas.

[ IS THIS THE RIGHT REACTION? PROBABLY NOT. ]

text;;

[reconstitution]

Like I said, I could pay you. I'm sure it won't be easy.

text;;

[benames]

if you ever run into any sort of candy, I'd like it.

that's it re: payment.

I can do it, you came to the right nerd.

text;;

[reconstitution]

I'm sure I'll manage to find some at some point.

[ And then Cisco will get his weight in candy. ]

Sooner rather than later would be best.

text;;

[benames]

I'd say

where and when. I have a lab on the blameless but I can carry most of my stuff with me if your ship already has an engineer and an existing lab.

text;;

[reconstitution]

You're doing me a favor, I can come to you.

text;;

[benames]

dope!

blamelss. at the lab. follow the twinkle lights.

[ this is the person who's going to solve your problems, bucky. ]

text;; >> action;;

[reconstitution]

[ Lord help him. ]

Okay. I'll be there shortly.

[ And true to his word, twenty minutes later, Bucky walks into the lab at the Blameless. Really, it hadn't been hard to find- especially with the twinkling lights. ]

Your ship is.. festive.

action;;

[benames]

[ cisco is donning a santa house, let it snow is playing from his smartphone and the whole place is filled with masses of twinkle lights. ]

we can call ourselves SS North Pole, I know. Call this Space Christmas Special.

[ and he turns and - ]

whoa.

[ don't mind the staring. ]

action;;

[reconstitution]

[ Well, it's definitely holly and jolly. Bucky raises an eyebrow. ]

Did I come at a bad time?

[ Boy, you can make a guy feel self-conscious with that stare. Guess who, Cisco. ]

action;;

[benames]

Huh, no.

[ sweet mother of all nerds, he's enormous. Cisco is pretty sure he's even bigger than Oliver Queen and holy hell, what sort of worlds create people who look like that? he can imagine thousands of female aliens with pictures of that guy on their walls.

and honestly, if there was an action figure - nevermind. ]

Not at all. But I mean, ok, seriously.

[ he's beaming at him and it's a little bit ridiculous. ]

You know you're probably the coolest guy in space, right? I mean, really.

action;;

[reconstitution]

[ The kind of world that genetically alters genetics to make super soldiers of mass destruction. Thank god there wasn't a whole army, right?

Oh. Well that throws him off a little bit, and he shakes his head a fraction. ]

Plenty of others cooler than me. Have you met Charles, yet?

action;;

[benames]

I did. Point still stands.

[ he gets his safety goggles out as well as a notepad and a pen ]

Alright. I'm gonna have to take a look at the whole thing and see where to start off from. D'you know what metal they used originally?

action;;

[reconstitution]

[ Bucky takes his jacket off so that the destroyed arm is exposed. It's a goddamn mess. There are two completely rusted-through holes- one near the bicep and the other on his upper forearm, exposing the internal workings. ]

I don't know. [ It's laughable how little he knows about it. Part of having to be dependent on the HYDRA technicians. ]

action;;

[benames]

Whoa.

[ something between a cheer and a cringe because that looks painful and also awesome. what do.

Alright - is that removable? can we remove it or do I need to fix it while it's attached?

action;;

[reconstitution]

[ It's definitely no picnic having all that dead weight hanging off his shoulder, but he's mostly dealt with it. Hooray for a high-tolerance for pain. ]

I'm.. not really sure. This plate is removable, if you're careful.

[ He motions to the topmost plates where the scar tissue overlaps. ] I don't know if it's completely removable. At least I don't remember if it is.
