"As news reach me of the infection Kiliari got and about the amputation, I decide to take a day off from my job to visit him at the hospital.

As I make my way there, I get greeted by one of the cops that I worked with yesterday, apperantly I got a new nickname, Ostensor Mortem. They told me the thug with the knife was so scared that everytime he saw a Spas-12 he would almost faint.

But I don't like that, I don't want to traumatize people... I say.

Well, he deserved it after what he did to your friend! they say back.

Which makes me remember, Kiliari! I say goodbye and rush to the hospital.

I get guided to where my friend was and we have a chat, talking about how I saved his arse yesterday. I tell him that I can create a robotic arm for him if he wants. He seemed to be pretty hesitant about it, so I gave him some time to think about it. He also informs me of the kit he wanted to give me be destroyed and I tell him that he doesn't need to give me anything, I don't need payment for helping people.

I talk to hm a little bit more, then wish him a good recovery and leave.

As I walk home, I notice a cyborg at the back of a police truck. He whispers to me to help him get out, that he was imprisoned unfairly. I was going to leave him, but something in the back of my mind was telling me he was truthful. As I begin to pull the bars of his cell off with my titanium arm, he escapes and thanks me.

As he wanted to just run away, I grab him and say that he's crazy if he wants to leave with the cops on his tail. I escort him to my house where we have a chat and he tells me of his troubles. I agree to keep him hidden in my house until the police leave him alone."

i'm a head crab and my mech is a dead combine metrocop named bob

I use to sell insurance, now i'm a contractor and possibly a scammer, I don't have dreams anymore...

bob has a rear super small cargo bay, and he doesn't use he chain gun alot cos its too big

"As I lay down on my couch, trying to get some sleep, I find it impossible to even close my eyes with that cyborg guy yelling wanna-be revolutionary statements in my ear every 5 minutes. Someone knocks at the door.

Ergh, if it's nobody I care about, I'll just keep it closed.

As I look through the small hole in my door, I notice Kiliari. I put my arm on the doorknob, but then I suddently remember! SH*T! I grab the cyborg and told him to stay quiet otherwise we're both dead, I then hide him upstairs in my room.

I open the door and greet Kiliari, he tells me that he made up his mind about the robotic arm. After we have a conversation about what material it's going to be made out of, how it's going to look like and such, we made a deal. I take some measurements and inform him that the arm will be done in about 2 days, then we will need to get a surgeon to put it on, since I'm anything but qualified to do surgery by myself. I show him some schematics about how the arm should look like and he seemed to be happy with one, so that's what I decide I should make. We then have a chat and some wine. As Kiliari was getting ready to leave, some loud pigeon noises were coming from my room, where the cyborg was. I then quickly take Kiliari out, say goodbye then close the door. It was an unpolite thing to do, but it was far better than him figuring out I was hiding an escapee in my house.

I rush upstaris into my room, where I see the cyborg opened my window to let in some pigeons.

ARE YOU INSANE?! You nearly blew your cover!  I say, with the angriest expresion I could make.

I'm sorry, but these little guys were starving out there. I had to let them in... Says the cyborg back.

Ergh, i guess you're right. These guys look cute by the way.

As I collapse onto my bed, I thought crosses my mind, I don't even know who this guy is.

So, err... You never told me your name, so, who are you? I say.

My name is Lagnadium, comrade.

Okay, cool...

That's the last thing I said before I dozed off onto my bed. I'll start work on the arm tomorrow."

"While I'm working on Kiliari's new arm in my lab, I hear a loud, metalic clank inside my room. Did the cyborg fall or something? I get up from my work-desk and make my way through the scraps of my lab and enter the main foyer, but I hear some loud beeps and boops. i thought nothing of it, since the cyborg would sometimes make these noises. I get to my room, but when I enter, nothing... Only an open window. Did the idiot run away or something? If he did, I have to find him, the police aare right on his tail and if he's outside, then it's only a matter of time before they catch him.

As I was about to leave the room and go get my coat, I fell something drop down, right behind me. That's when the adrenaline kicked in, I guess. I turn around so fast, one of the un-shielded nerves on my robot arm smacks right into the gun of a security drone. Oh no... They found him.

With all the power that is in me, I push the drone away, and while it was trying to get up, I grabbed my bedside lamp and began bashing it with it, then the glass of the lamp's bulb breaks, causing an electrical discharge, that thankfully shuts off the drone. As I was going to get out of the room, I notice 2 more drones in my foyer, this time they started shooting. Itry to get to cover as fast as I can, but I wasn't fast enough, one of their bullets hits me straight in my ankle, causing me fall on my face and knock myself out on one of the handrails.

The next thing I know, I wake up inside my lab, tied up by my hands and legs, with Lagnadium on my right, and Kiliari on my left. I understood why they were after me and Lagnadium, but what the Hell was Kiliari doing here?

By order 217 of the Terran Republics, you will all be shot for crimes against the state. Says one of the drones.

Terran Republics? We're on the Moon! These things have no power here, so Lagnadium WAS innocent? Whatever, right now is not the time for conspiracy thories, I have to get out of here before we end up shot. But it seemed that the cyborg was faster than I was. He broke the ropes we were attached on like a champ and punched one of the drones straight in the CPU. He broke the ropes tieng me up. I get up and reach for the blow-torch on my desk, I grab it and try to run to the other drone to "do some bodywork" on it, but as soon as I make the first step, the wound in my ankle began to hurt like Hell, so I couldn't run.

You deal with the downed drone! I'll take the other one! Says the cyborg.

Wait! There's a shotgun next to my desk, you might find it handy! I say to him, with a smirk on my face like I was some sort of evil genius.

I turn to the drone with the damaged CPU and began going to town on it with the blowtorch and a screwdriver, after a bit of faffing about, the drone was reprogrammed to be on our side, and attack the other drones. It began unleashing a storm of bullets in the other drone, which was attacking Lagnadium.

Lagging behind, mate? Heh, get it? LAGnadium and lagging, heh, heh... Yeah... I try to make a joke, but it sounded way funnier in my head.

The moment that happened, 3 more drones burst in. SH*T!!!
I cut the ropes keeping Kiliari down and he grabs his combat-knife. Technically, with the "friendly" drone, it's 4 on 3, so we had the upper hand. After a pretty ferocius battle, we, indeed, won. Needless to say, the reprogrammed drone didn't make it.

That's when a few police men come in.

Okay! What's with all this racket?! says one of the guys.

As I take him to the foyer, we explained to him what happened. After hearing my story and seeing that the drones were from the Terran Republics, he says to me:

Okay Mortem, I know you're a good guy who won't do anything to get the police on him, so I'll turn a blind eye to this, but only once, okay? You and your friends are free of trouble, you can go now.

Well, now Lagnadium is free of wrong-doings and, while Kiliari was here, I showed him the arm. He looked very happy when he saw how it turned out. I take him to the hospital where the surgery takes place and I leave Lagnadium to guard the house and explain what happened to an officer that remained to document the event.

Kiliari had his new arm implanted by the same doctor that put in my robot arm, so I knew it would turn out well. The medic said it will thake a while for the anasthetics to wear off, so after I got my ankle patched up I left and decided to come back when Kiliari was feeling better. When I went back to my home, I find Lagnadium making dinner, huh. I guess it's better than ordering chinese food for the billionth time. He was like a pretty good cook, he could get a nice job at a restaraunt or something."

"So, now that Kiliari is finally able to work, I visit him at his apartment and help him clean up the place after the bandit raid, I decided to help clean up the blood and stuff, since that was sorta my fault. Hey, how was I supposed to know that a shotgun burst to the face was going to make such a mess?

After his apartment was cleaned up, I began to talk about the house-dome kit and when he's going to have the time to do it. I inform him that if he needs any help setting it up I can give him a hand."

Does anyone else even know what Mortem and Ostensor Mortem means?
