[h2]Ruby's extraction squad, part 2[/h2]
[b]"Are you still mad at me for breaking your arm?"[/b] Alto said.

[b][color=orangered]"I am, but that's not why I'm angry."[/color][/b] Sefia replied. 

He noticed she was only holding her blade with her right arm. He looked down at her left arm, and saw that it was dangling freely in it's place.

[b]"Oh, it's broken."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Yes! It's broken!"[/color][/b] She said with an exasperated sigh, [b][color=orangered]"It's far too weak! Give me a stronger arm!"[/color][/b]

[b][color=thistle]"Emperor,"[/color][/b] Theo said suddenly, [b][color=thistle]"The coffee is ready."[/color][/b]

[b]"Oh, cool."[/b] Alto said, [b]"Pour a cup for Sefia please."[/b]

Theo was already holding a mug and the pot of coffee, and he proceeded to carefully pour the steaming liquid into the mug almost to the brim.

[b][color=thistle]"Here you are, mistress Sephia."[/color][/b]

Sefia looked towards the coffee, then back towards Alto. She looked to the coffee again, and then back towards Alto, as if she was having a hard time deciding what to do.

[b][color=orangered]"Alright, fine..."[/color][/b] she said, sheathing her sword. She took the coffee from Theo's outstretched hand and went to the couch and sat down near the spot where her blade had sliced off a bit of the sofa. Sal was busy fighting Con again, button mashing as always. She started sipping the coffee with a sour expression.

Alto went over and picked up her repaired robot arm.

[b]"Alright, stay still for a sec."[/b] He said, as he prepared to take out her other arm. He rolled up one of her jumper's left sleeve and  tapped a button on the inside of the elbow 3 times. The arm came away with a worrying [i]crack![/i] and he saw that the part of the arm that connected with the shoulder was almost in pieces.

[b]"Take of your jumper for a sec."[/b] Sefia grudgingly put her coffee down and obliged with his instruction. Alto peered more closely at the 'arm receptacle' as he liked to call it, the place where the robot arm met the shoulder. [i]Looks like the rotary thing is broken...[/i] He thought. [i]Broken due to stress... and overuse. Now, overuse and then stress. Oh.[/i]

[b]"You've been practicing your Iai, haven't you?"[/b] He said to Sefia. She suddenly developed a very keen interest in her coffee. Alto sighed.

[b]"I did tell you that the replacement arm wouldn't be able to take that, didn't I?"[/b]

Sefia still insisted on keeping her silence.

[b]"Well, it doesn't really matter anyway."[/b] He reached out and took the pieces of the broken rotary thing in the arm receptacle. He then picked up her repaired robot arm, and carefully aligned the prongs before gently pushing it into her shoulder. Sefia experienced a slight electric shock as the nerves connected, but she managed to hold onto her coffee.

[b][color=orangered]"Is that all?"[/color][/b] Sefia asked, [b][color=orangered]"Because if it is, I'm leaving after I finish my coffee."[/color][/b]

[b]"Actually, I have a job for you."[/b] Alto said. He could see Sefia perk up a little at the mention of a job. [b]"A friend of mine needs to be bailed out apparently, and from the looks of things, I might need more than one person."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"How strong is the resistance?"[/color][/b] She said, moving her left arm up and down, as if testing it.

[b]"It's the underground movement so there are a lot of strong metas."[/b] Alto said. [b]"So I'm also bringing in Damien."[/b]

[b][color=orangered]"Don't tell me that!"[/color][/b] She said, [b][color=orangered]"You know I don't like Damien!"[/color][/b]

[b]"Too late, I'm already texting him."[/b]

The text read:

He pressed the send button.

[b][color=orangered]"Damn it,"[/color][/b] Sefia groaned, [b][color=orangered]"He annoys me so much!"[/color][/b]

[b]"I know that,"[/b] Alto said, [b]"But we need him. We've got our DPS, and our busrt damage, now all we need is a tank."[/b]
