Sylvia was the only one of them I'd ever slept with more than twice, but she didn't want to have anything to do with sewing on my arm again.

"Standard procedure is to go to the Repair Wing."  I hated Sylvia's Standard Procedure voice.  She knew as well as I did that if I went to the Repair Wing they were likely to erase my imagination just for the hell of it.  Naturally, I didn't want that.

Mind you, McBradley had had it done last year and they's replaced it with a better one.  But McBradley knew how to bribe a saint if he had to.

Anyway, Orgone came to the rescue.  She was the only transexual on the team.  I'm not really into trannies, but anything seemed okay to get my arm back.

Afterwards, she whispered in my ear that she was going attempt an escape.  She had built a sledge and had stolen two car batteries.  Now all she needed was my help.  "The sledge is called Topsy" she said, as if that made a difference.
