@kuroro86 @Ronnoceel @Rukja @Krune @00nowhereman Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! I really enjoy working on this series and I apologize that this issue took so long. I try to get one chapter released per week, but I switch around from title to title just to keep things interesting. I'm trying to make every other issue I work on be Ex-Arm so you should expect to see a new issue every two weeks or so. If I get some time off from work (and my wife doesn't keep adding to my list of chores) I'll try to pick up the pace a bit.
@Kampfarsch They mentioned that the connection was broken when the priest died. My guess is the molecular stuff is still there, but it's not all glowing and lit up so it's not visible anymore. It'll probably bio-degrade over time. Regarding the helicopter thing...I dunno. I guess the helicopter girl (I'm terrible at remembering names) may have been so high up that she couldn't see what was going on down on the ground? Maybe? Actually, I more wonder how people on the ground didn't see someone rush in, grab the bionic arm and rush off. There would've been a crowd watching the aerial battle I imagine.
I suspect the transporter has some teleporting ability. She was watching the whole scene from that room (wherever it was) so she wasn't actually at the scene. But she had to get there, grab the arm, and duck out pretty much instantly. maybe it happened so quickly, no one got a good look?
I dunno, I'm gonna suspend my disbelief on this one and just enjoy the ride!
