"Hey! It's not my fault that the lift trapped me down in a pit with no way up! I had to leave that beautiful thing behind, with tears in my eyes nonetheless, in order to climb that cable. Don't give me hash about it!"

Sighing and shrugging, Bishop decides to go relax for a bit.

Go watch some news. Change the channel to some if it's not already on.

"Come on, man, sing along!"
Get Miyamoto to sing along. Keep singing myself.

Examine each system.  Try and find out how they all work, both inner workings and results.
The first appears to just prevent you from doing something overboard by physically stopping you from acting. The second one restrains you partially, while the third and fourth allow you to do exactly as you wanted. They're all brain implants.

You walk over to the couch and snatch the remote out of Timmy's hands before flipping to the first news channel you can find.

The anchor mentions civil unrest on some planet named New Ceres before immediately switching to a fluff story about puppies.

It's hard to sing when Bishop changed the channel. Jerk.

"Hey, I was watching that! Then again, puppies are good too."
Sing several tunes from the stage play anyway. Such as the dentist one. That was pretty good.

"Sorry, but I changed it for a few reasons. Our missions sometimes show up in the news before we are called in to handle it, so I'm trying to figure out what we might be going up against. And second, you weren't watching it so much as screaming at it. I thought you were in pain or something from horrible viewing, so I changed it to shut you up."

"The play was more of a, uh, cue for me to sing. I can also do without it!"

"You were... singing?"

Bishop gives him a weird look and leans away slightly.

"Can you, uhh... wait until I'm done here? I want to listen to the news."

"Bishop, buddy, this is beyond my control, sorry. Sometimes you can't choose to sing. Sometimes you HAVE to. Sometimes your very soul demands that you free yourself from all inhibinations and just sing your heart out! It's art, man!"

(Next mission.  Calling it now.)
Exit VR, pay the armoury master a visit and inquire as to the availability and prices of these systems.  Also, current token count?

"Can't move around too much. Got vivisected, you know. Makes you sore, is what I'm saying."
((New Ceres unrest might be the backdrop to the mission, sort of like China-9, not like Endive's serial killer, which was the mission. It would be sort of strange, although fun to try the good ol' HMRC effort in riot suppression. A bloodbath, yes, but fun.))

((Yeah, the HMRC isn't really meant to handle civil unrest, what with being criminals and all. Perhaps the cause of the unrest might be the reason we are called though?))

"Oh, yeah I noticed. I know that feeling all too well. Look."

Bishop points out the healed and starting to fade scars all over his body.

"Got these in a gene therapy session. Was goddamn nasty, especially with no anasthetic."

"Did you at least get anything from your procedure? The only things that happened to me were that the Doctor took my magic ball, cut me up and buggered off without even telling me anything detailed about what he found out. Talk about getting shortchanged. I mean, I still have zero clues about what I'm supposed to eat."

"Well, in return for getting my skin peeled off, having all of my blood replaced as I bled out, my organs stabbed with needles and going through all of that while awake and under a drug that stopped me from moving while doing nothing for the pain... I no longer bleed at all, I feel no pain from major injuries and I can keep functioning with most of my bones broken, most of my organs removed except for my heart, brain and a bit of my lungs and, thanks to a different therapy I went through before where I had multiple bone marrow and organ injections with no painkillers while awake, yet again, I can heal back to full functionality from all of that with no permenant scars or disabilities in 3 days, tops, as long as I get a good amount of food to eat.

Does that answer your question?"
