My left arm is made of several white-steel sections, filled with (currently) orange gel-like sections that function as muscles. My forearm's gel-sections open to reveal several medical tools, including a scalpel, and when closed, the tool rack spins slowly, decoratively, under the surface, making the arm catch the light. Fingertips are currently round, dot-like white steel digits, but they give *almost* like human skin.
My right arm is made identically, but where the left has medical equipment spinning lazily inside, this one has my pistol inside, the one we made together. When fully seated, a pair of connectors run current through the metal block and send signals to the rest of my distributed systems, which surge under my skin and crisscross my chest and shoulders, thin seams still pink and red like fresh scars. A series of CPUs clone my consciousness throughout my body, constantly ready to throw on vital redundancies and take over if need be.
