Alchemy [C]

[attr="class","athenatemplate3"]Athena watched with quite the interested look on her face.

Several emotions were in need of submission. Pride, satisfaction, a little sprinkle of happiness and lots of desire. It made her day knowing that even those with absolute power could still find themselves at the mercy of her skill. Times like these made being a subordinate all the worthwhile.

Scientists were observers by nature, but it didn’t mean they couldn’t act when it was needed the most. As per instructions, Athena went back to base via teleportation, but instead of lingering around the main office, the scientist headed back to the comfort of the laboratory after becoming the go-to scientist, and thus declared default reign over the facilities, as well as its maintenance.

After all preparations were done, the doors slid opened, and Aster’s Gallade rushed in with it’s master barely with them. She gave him credit for staying conscious despite the terrible, gnashed piece of flesh hanging on his shoulder. Athena exaggerated, but it was obvious the arm was no longer salvageable, specially if Aster wanted to keep his image clean.

Her mild interest evolved into sheer happiness as the Admin declared the two words she had wanted to hear all her life. A smile broke her facade, but said nothing, and nodded a few times. As she turned to walk further into the laboratory, Athena pointed at the Gallade to lay down his master on a stretcher and to follow her suite.

The instructions were succinct, but as expected, the Gallade followed them to the letter. He even pushed his own master as they entered the operation theatre. Whether he was still awake, or not, Athena continued on, since she did not condone interruptions, unless she needed something from him. Athena pointed at Gallade to leave him in just below the light of the lamp, and dragged the Pokemon back outside.

“Gallade… if you’re assisting with this operation, I will need to sterilize you before we proceed.” Once the Gallade gave his approval, they both proceeded to the wash room make themselves proper for the following events. She was so excited… it made her feel good, and didn’t mind the Gallade’s presence one bit. Normally, she’d shoo anyone away before she even got to this point.

Athena’s surgical clothes included a mask, gloves and a hairnet, identical to the Pokemon. “Now, before we proceed…” she said loudly, pulling a tray of surgical tools; some were quite strange looking. “We will be amputating your arm, and attach a new mechanical arm…” she checked the equipment one more time, inspecting the anesthesia machine, as well as the dextrose. She quickly inserted the needle in his wrist.

“Gallade! We’re cleaning the wound and blood away. Please get the VAC…” she pointed at the machine with the long nose.” and place it beside me.” The Gallade nodded and brought it to the scientist. Athena quickly turned the machine on, and placed the nozzle where the blood flow was the worst. She went up to Aster and cleared some locks of hair from his face. “You should feel the anaesthesia flowing into your body. Before you sleep, do you have any requests as to the prosthetic? Any extras at all?”
