So I’ve been working on this for a few days to get my mind off sooooo many things.

[Anakin holds up his prosthetic arm and presses what must be a small button. Strings of LED lights following what would be muscle lines light up. They are red at first. He presses a button again and the lights start to change colors, rotating through the color spectrum.]

And I have this setting-

[Another press of the button and the lights flash in a pattern.]

And one more thing.

[He presses a different button and then he moves his arm. Every time he moves the arm or hand, the prosthetic makes robot noises.]

I’m ready for my next rave.

Will do. Should be a few days to to get the right parts in.

[ A beat. ]

So... why did you chose to go disco on your arm?

Disco is like the seventies.

This is EDM scene decor.

Course it is.

[ Whatever the kids were calling it these days... ]

Still you have to admit most people wouldn't have thought to add lights to their arm.

Most people don't have a prosthetic arm.

Granted.

But if they did I doubt they would have come up with a DIY light show.

I used to build and race motorcycles. Can't do that right now. Needed to get my tinkering fix somewhere, somehow. Work with what you've got and all that.

You were on the racing circuit? Private or professional?

[ Oh how his smile did brighten. ]

I did a spot of racing, cars mostly, but I had a partner who did all of the tinkering.

Pro. Until I joined the Air Force.

What kind of cars did you race?

Amateur circuit. I drove whatever junkyard beast my friend could get running.

Nice. Maybe someday I'll drive again. Don't really need to in NYC, tho.

You don't need to, but it is fun. It would be hard to keep a car in the city. Just finding a parking space, woo! I don't know how people manage it.

Course... a big classic silver deal would be so tempting.
