ECHO DIARY ENTRY #3: EIGHT WEEKS AFTER THE FALL OF HELIOS
[ the most noticeable thing about rhys this time around is he has both eyes. the hole in his head is filled in and a long silver cybernetic arm is attached to his shoulder. he's shirtless, standing in front of a mirror and holding up his new hand to record, taking in the whole new look. his eyes seem to hesitate slightly on the scars around his shoulder but then he brightens, looking back to his face. ]
I guess -- I guess he felt bad or something, not that I actually told them what happened. Still, guess the old man felt bad enough to really put the big bucks into this. I have to pay him back somehow, I think. Maybe when I get Atlas up and running? I don't know, that's going to take a while. Still, it's so nice to see again. To pick up things with both hands -- to just... to just function!
[ and then suddenly, the video shorts out with a large burst of static. when it comes back a second later, rhys has a shirt on, a plain white button up, and he's sitting on his bed, still in the guest room from his previous entry. he's using the tablet this time. ]
So, still need to get adjusted to the arm. The tech itself is way more advanced than anything I got from Hyperion but like all things, I need to get used to it. I don't have any of my old files either and I -- well, I damaged the harddrive pretty bad impaling it. There's no way I could recover anything, huh?
[ he rubs the back of his neck then, awkward and uncomfortable as he looks away from the camera. ]
Plus... what if he's still in it? No. No, I have to start fresh. Clean drive. Clean tech. I can rebuild.
