I have the fabrications done for the repairs to Mr. al-Rashid's cybernetics - replacement struts for the damaged tibial and fibial supports, as well as the tarsal and metatarsal arches. Replacement's likely to be about a one-hour procedure, and from how I read these schematics, no anaesthesia should be needed.
As for the implant regulator, Paige and I deduced the problem and a fix for it. I have a chip with a firmware update that'll link better into the biological data that comes out of the interface. From what I understand, results won't be immediate - something about too much too fast doing serious biological damage. But it's programmable to scale the dosage up to normal levels as the doctors prescribe, and eventually handle a fluctuating load better than it was intended.
Forgive me if I'm being too forward here, but from all I can figure, the original system design was never intended for the recipient to lead any kind of normal life in that regard. This should take at least the first step to enabling that.

Let's get this done and over with, people. The inactivity is _killing me_.
And you're right - it was never designed to lead much of a normal life. I'm a prototype milspec chassis, not a civilian model.
Anyway - I can do the foot-detatch as soon as possible, and I know the chip-swap will likely require surgery. I'm at your disposal, but I'd like to get this done quick so we can devote full resources to the other medical situations going on.

Forge, Paige, you've done outstanding work. Thank you so much.
Madelyn.

Subject: Agreed.
Let's get it done then. Hell, if we could do it _now_ I'd suggest we do it _now_. Tomorrow afternoon will work, though.
And I'm holding off on the attaboys until the surgery's done and over with. From a theoretical standpoint, things look good, but I'm a practical kind of guy.
Salaam,
Haroun
