Don't get me wrong, I had never heard of them either before coming here. But I've been looking into them- computer programming, nanotech, artificial intelligence- it makes sense to learn about it, given that there's so much information around on it here.

[No, this is definitely just a him thing. If there's something new around he doesn't understand, he's never shied away from trying to learn it.]

I'm thinking for your arm, the new one. If we want real, lifelike movements with as little input lag as possible...

[Jayce finishes buttoning up his shirt, and faces Robert directly, no longer looking over his shoulder for half the conversation.]

Nanotech's the way to go. We teach them how to read brain impulses, put them in the right parts of the brain to intercept and repeat those signals, which they send to the mechanical arm, and there we'd have it! It'd be like having your real arm again.

[Jayce is used to making concept pitches. He's used to making them for even stranger concepts, and selling it well.

But maybe it's because he's tired, maybe it's because his hair isn't perfectly coiffed, and his eyes are just a little wider than they'd be if he was feeling more comfortable in his own skin, but there's a string of anxiety running through him when he makes the argument. Like he knows Robert's going to shut it down. So before he does, Jayce interjects again before Robert can even respond:]

We'd do extensive testing of course, before it ever came to you.
