<Snipped quote by Audacious>
Do you know if she'll be able to keep all of her memory?
That’s actually an incredible question. From what I saw, her head wasn’t hurt as bad as the rest of her. Would have made it hard to ever get her this far, if so…

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Takes a sample of her torso muscular structure, verifies that it's free from cross-contamination, and carries it with me in a test tube to the machine*
<Snipped quote by Memory>
*Once the bone's cells fully replace themselves, it begins growing until it eventually forms a skull that's the same size as Artemis' previous one*
Alright, skull is complete.
*The spinal cord finishes growing to the length of Artemis' corpse's version, though the brain is still missing from the top*
Next step is to build out the rest of the skeleton, so I'm starting that.
*I separate a few cells of bone from the skull to begin growing more*
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Recreates the major muscle fibers and winds them together into larger strands*
I'm not as fast as you yet; it's going to take me some time.

*Slows the bone growth somewhat*
Ah, sorry to accidentally rush you. There's no need to finish both parts at the same time, we can add the muscles to the bone more easily than the other way around.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
It's okay, no need to wait on me. I just want you to know that I'm going as fast as I can.
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
You'd be able to carry her still, right?
<Snipped quote by Memory>
*Smiles*
I didn't doubt it for a second.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
If not me, at least we could together, as a collective.
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
If I may ask, how did you find us? It's not every day a guest wanders here.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Switches to the limbs, and a bead of sweat rolls down my forehead when working on the hands, and I brush my face with my shoulder, keeping my own hands steady*
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Luck. We were trying to get somewhere else, and ended up here instead.
*Scratches my head*
Either that or… Unseen forces.
<Snipped quote by Memory>
*Finishes the major bones and begins on the finger and toe bones, placing each one on a table in relation to where the go*
Not to mention, we still have to deal with the soul, too.
*Glances over at you*
You're doing great, Stella.
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
You think someone might have brought you here? Or something bigger, like fate?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Fate in a cosmic sense? I guess it’s possible. But for us to end up on the doorstep of the equivalent to a shack in the middle of an island in the sea feels too fortunate.
<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>
*Beams*
All in a day's work. I will need some guidance on the soul, though.
*Shifts over to the other arm*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
You never know.
*Waves my hand from one side of me to the other*
Maybe destiny decided to play nice this time.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
I think that’s another thing I’m just going to choose to accept not knowing for sure.
<Snipped quote by Memory>
Of course, we'll get it back to its usual self.
*An entire skeleton other than the rib-cage lays on the table*
I'll close up the ribs once everything squishy is in place. I'm going to get some blood cells started so they're ready when we need them.
*Goes over to a different machine and places a small extra bone inside it, allowing it to force it to create blood cells which are moved into a large vat*
