After a very pleasant morning spent in Kaylee's company, and a quick break to actually bother finding clothes, getting themselves ready for the day (albeit a few hours late), and a few quick entries in his journal (had to give Rorschach hell, after all), Logan somewhat reluctantly got ready to leave.

"I'm heading over to the theater, Kaylee. Told Shannon I'd meet her over there to chat in person."

"Yeah, all of 'em." Logan said as he headed for the door. "Watch your step ... some of the boards are really rotten."

"Well, maybe not all. Might not have it on my earbones ... but that'd be it. Also got some ... added hardware, guess you could say." Holding one hand out, well away from her, he popped his claws, the distinctive *snikt* rather loud in the relative quiet.

Carefully, she avoided the worst of the boards, half dancing/hopping around them. Using her outstretched arms as balance when she got herself into one bad patch.

She walked beside him, curious as she listened to his explanation. A bit of a jump came from her when there was a sudden sound and three blades popped out of his wrist. Cautiously, she reached out to touch his arm, curling her hands around his wrist as she looked at the metal curiously.

"How'd this happen?"

"Watch it, darlin' ... those are sharp as hell." Logan said, wrist and arm flexing slightly under her hand as the claws retracted ... with nary a sign they'd just poked through his skin.

"Got nabbed a long time ago ... at least fifteen years ago, prolly more ... by some fuckers like the ones that dragged us all here. Only that bunch decided to do more'n mess with my head."

"Not cybernetics?" The technology was surprisingly rare even in her time, too many times had people ended up with nasty side-effects and too quick wear on their bodies for any widespread use. Some, of course, used it to replace eyes (like Dobson) or other necessary part. But the cybernetic pieces drained and stressed organic systems so heavily, that the cost outweighed nearly every benefit.

With one last curious brush of her fingers across his now healed knuckles, Kaylee released his wrist as they continued walking.

"Was it...your government, you think?" That Kaylee knew something about, if only second-hand. It was hard not to remember what the Alliance could do, that they were not nice people, not when you lived and were friends with one of their favorite victims.

	Once out of the library, Logan turned and headed for the theater. "No, not cybernetics. I dunno what all they did ... can't remember. And yeah, my bet's the government. Or the military, which is pretty much the same damn thing. Think they were looking to make an unkillable, merciless supersoldier. Came way the hell too close to succeeding."

Trusting that he knew the territory better than she did, Kaylee simply followed his lead. Albeit just at his side.

She shook her had a bit sadly, "Prolly not the first time, and I know it weren't the last." While she was not fully aware of both River's capabilities and what was done to her, Kaylee knew enough to know that you did not teach little girls how to fire a gun so accurately without something nefarious in mind. Not even her belief in humanity could broach that one.

The library and the theatre were actually extremely close together (comparitively), so it was no long at all until they arrived.
