"...Should I remind you how this works?!"   
  
"Yeah, yeah - I know - E = MC^(2) blah, blah..." - tall albino hunter rolled her eyes at my question, as I was explaining... "problems" with her proposed augmentation.  
  
"No! You stupid! Each action produces equal reaction! Like sure - we can channel all that energy through subdermis and use carapace filler as amplificator - but it will blow your stupid arms off!"

She frowned her brows, either in annoyance or trying to think of rebuttal.

"Ok... what if..."  
  
"No!" - oh here we go again...  
  
"What if! We add additional set of arms to the armor? You know - without MY arms inside - so you can reinforce them!"  
  
"No! I already told you - it will fry your brains! Neural interfacing is a delicate thing - there is a reason why we do things like we do!

"Did you try?"

"Try what?"

"The four arms thing?"

"N-no? Ofcourse not! This is insane design!"

"So why you think it will not work?"

"It just won't! You dont have neural pathways for control two more arms!"

"Wanna bet?"

"What?"

"Bet! I bet that I will make it work if you will make me a four armed armor!"

"This is waste of our resources - it will never be sanctioned by the guild!"

"Oh dont worry about the resources, little guy, I have it covered right here" - she handed me crudely made note that read - "Presenter of this is appointed one kiloton **(1 kTn)** of standart biomass units to be spent on R&D as they see fits" - signed and stamped by the regional leader of hunter-cadre.

"One kiloton... What?.." - I looked at her in absolute disbelief.

"Yeap! Better start gathering your team - I was told you are the brightest of the latest generation here."

"Ok. Ok. Four arms then, I mean insects have multiple legs, and like 3 neurons... So maybe if we run secondary neural network..."

"Yeah, yeah! You will figure it out!" - she shouted at me as she was hastily walking away - "Oh! And don't forget the kinetic discharge! This is like the whole point! Oh! Oh! And make it bigger then normal!"

Thats gonna be... interesting few months...
