The old ticker was gone now. Matrim lifted up his white t-shirt to reveal the machine core with a circular metal covering which emitted a dim blue light from the center.
"It's like I'm Tony Stark or some shit..." Matrim couldn't help but notice his machine heart not only had a beat, but a very low hum if he listened carefully, at first he believed it was just the room noise but he decided better since he could also slightly feel the hum throughout his body if he remained completely motionless.
He had gotten up that morning and had gone to the gym expecting to see a class, instead the room was empty. He had lost track of which day of the week it was, apparently it was either Saturday or Sunday considering the lack of a class. He figured this just meant he had more privacy to see what happened to his body and how it has affected his ability to exercise and fight. He made his way to the punching bag, not exactly a back-breaking work out, but definitely a good warm up. He delivered a straight jab with his right hand, putting as much force into it as he could. He noticed his heart rate climb a bit so he kept going at it.
Still the same, I guess thats fine.... so what would happen if I was hit directly in this thing...
"Only one way to find out." Matrim bent his arm in an awkward way and punched himself directly in the chest, his fist felt the pain but his body didn't take any pain, "OK... so I guess we're just fine there."
Matrim then walked over to a water fountain that was against the opposite wall, it was built in and there was a mirror reflecting his face. He looked into his eyes to see what had happened clear as day.
"One is orange.... one is brown..... why is my left eye orange? How the hell does that work?" Making a mental note to ask Solaris about his eyes and if they would ever match again he walked back to the punching bag where he would keep working out, attacking the bag repeatedly and getting used to having a machine pumping his blood for him.
