Opening
You let your work phone ring a few times over the weekend, so you thought you were going to walk into a whole stack of new cases on Monday, but luckily it turns out you've only got one new patient. Heavy Ordnance 5, the blonde one everyone calls "Honey" by her own idiosyncratic preference, had already checked into your office and seated herself on your worktable by the time you walked in with a cup of coffee. "Hi, sorry it's me again. I think some of the synfibers in my left thigh are faulty, I can't extend it all the way." She smiles the flawless smile of an android, and demonstrates by slowly and carefully stretching her long leg. You watch carefully, but can't quite see any obvious signs of fault. It might be one of the deeper internals, which are always a pain to get at. Trying to figure out if there might be an underlying issue, you shut the door and sit at your PC to pull up her maintenance records. Wow, has she really been here three times this month already? Honey smiles at you, swaying her legs as they dangle off the worktable. "I came straight to your workstation because you were such a big help the last few times. I don't have any missions scheduled for this week so it's fine if this takes a while. Plus you might as well give me a full diagnostic while I'm here!"
