Jesus Christ, talk about overreactions. We're only hearing one side of the story here. She pointed a gun at someone! You don't point guns at people you don't want to kill and really, this isn't the sort of thing that warrants a death sentence?
Y'know there's a whole load of people who're just interested in these things from a purely technological standpoint. It's all part of our history and some of these pieces are complete works of art. You can't just throw that on the scrapheap, any more than you can throw out an old rolex. Technology is beautiful.

Seriously? She's talking about parts of her body, not scrap in a bin. Metal or Flesh, there's a line, and this asshole crossed it at barely sub-light. Trying to claim it's artistic appreciation does not justify 'so how much for your arm?' ESPECIALLY when you get grabby. I considered that the first rule of Cons before my run-in with the Goo, and I've gotten a bit more militant about it since then. I wouldn't have shot the asshole, but that's only because I'm a firm believer in mace.
