Jeez...
Ah, this. This was something that Ami had put off for a long while. It wasn't often that she came down to the Administrative Offices, and it was even rarer that she came here of her own accord. She had set up an appointment to speak with an acquaintance with ties to upper management... ugh, but even now, this sort of thing sounded crazy?
"Tch." Walking down the hall, Ami winced, 'real' hand clenching once more over her metal left, another twitch of the finger sending a shock of nerves throughout her body, feeling like a deep shock across her spine. Despite proper maintenance, the contacts had started to wear out. It would have been a simple matter to replace them... but over and over, for the rest of her life? And her job wasn't one that could so easily be done with such an imprecise tool, much less without an arm!
And there were the other factors as well, significantly newer employees with different assets ascending past her in rank, them being the overall 'favored' species in Pravus. It was mentally aggravating, to have both the Head Scientist and Assistant clinched despite her toil and literal blood spilled for this company! Perhaps there were other factors, but thinking it through, most of upper management was augmented in some way.
To think I'm actually doing this...
With a sigh, Ami found herself outside Axel's office. She was right on time, professionally dressed in a black suit and skirt, a knock given to the door: "Marshal Steele? I'm here for the 1:00 appointment."
