“No other arm is wireless and waterproof, and it’s faster than everything else and it’s still the lightest bionic hand available…I’m so much stronger than I’ve ever been.”
You work as produce loader. One day, your coworker comes in with a fancy new set of robot arms. He can lift three times as much as you can and work twice as fast. Your hours start getting cut back, boss doesn’t need you anymore. You lose your job. You apply for a new one, but it’s the same story everywhere: companies want cyborgs. So you spend the last of your savings on a set of bionic arms. They work great, and you land a new job. It’s enough to pay for the anti rejection meds and your living expenses. Two years later, a new model comes out. Efficiency improves even more. Your services aren’t needed anymore, and you can’t afford an upgrade.
You’re homeless now, and you can’t afford the rejection meds. So you sit on the side of the street with a cardboard sign and an empty hat, waiting for your arms to rot off your body as your immune tears the connection apart.
Drag wouldn’t buy prosthetics from a company that associates themselves with that image.
Yeah, well, too late. These guys DID do a Deus Ex collab. Officially. Marvel, too. Their thing is they want to make these cool for kids and teens, so it’s mostly fine.
Deus Ex is a horror universe. Example:
