The wire around Pol's wrist glows with a neon blue light. Pols hand disintegrates and from the stump a small portal emerges and from it flys a spray of blood that hangs in the air briefly defying gravity. The bloody spray is mixed with tiny nanomachines that coagulate it into individual cubes which quickly start to merge together into a rough voxel representation of the item before solidifying together. Once whole a quake travels through the voxels and they fall to the ground in a wet deluge soaking the area underneath. From inside of the voxel shape stands the item that was previously digitized now reassembled.
When something is initially digitized into the stash the same process with the hand happens but a laser shoots out and segments the target into the digitized cubes, leaving bloody rivulets where each cube is cut. Once the target has been segmented a large tendril of nanomachines shoots from Pol's wrist stump and start vacuuming up the cubes one by one.
