- Doug:
- Hey, K, What happened, I thought the ADU got you and sent you back to prison? {{Note: See episodes 383-384}}
- Woah, and I thought you could regrow limbs?
- K!rr'fght ("Keith"):
- Heh, the ADU make the Contralto family look like the Von Trapps!
- They let me go if I promised to work for their superiors, which was an offer I couldn't refuse.
- Panel 2: Close-up on K!rr'fght.
- K!rr'fght ("Keith"):
- As for my limbs, the laser swords damaged the nerves, and they didn't grow back.
- However, I've got an upgrade, all paid for by my new employers.
- Two standard arms, one super-strong claw, and… stand back…

- …One flame thrower!

- It all works via a cybernetic brain implant system developed by some of the best doctors on Cynaptix IV.
- Sorry, Doug, I must sound like the Exposition Fairy!
- It's just that part of my new job is promoting the cybernetic limb service.
- Doug:
- Well, if I ever need a new limb, I'll be sure to check it out.
- It's all run by a cybernetic brain implant, you say?
- Hmm, I'm sure there's no way that could go horribly wrong!
