"I think..." Lou lifts his free hand, shutting his eyes to pass fingertips over the lids, "It's just right. Keep going."
A beat.
"Please."
What he was feeling now, that sort of numbness, was just the new absence of the nanites such as they were. His receptors were blocked to them. Lou had to wonder if his awareness towards the communicator in his pocket would also go.
Opening his eyes once more, he dropped his hand to his knee once more, only this time pivoting it so that he could see the faint glow of his tattoo. Move, he told the lot there, focusing. Nothing happened, though he could still feel them clustering there. It was like trying to catch fireflies with only a mental picture of a jar.
Move, just a little. There. The 'd' at the edge of REGISTERED hazed, just a little.
