Praetyre took the tool. "Thank you. This will save me a lot of time.". He triggered the suits spark shielding software, then a further layer of metal slid down on the eye sockets in his helmet. He then walked towards the surgical table, and set the welder to a medium setting. It blew a little more than expected, but it got the job done within 30 seconds. The generator was complete. All it needed was a restart. After deactivating the spark shield, Praetyre walked over into the stasis tank room, noticing the broken tank. He could feel the electric fields even 3 metres away, and ordered the suit computer to activate the electromagnetic dampeners. He then inserted the pacemaker generators charger port into the power slot.

For a moment, Praetyre felt nothing. Then it came. The surge of power was so great that he started whole body vibrating. But it had not even reached quarter power. Praetyre told himself to let go, but it seemed his body would not listen. The vibration stopped after a minute, then Praetyre relaxed. But a split second after he relaxed, a massive surge came over him like a tsunami. It had restarted the generator, that he could tell, but right now, he and the generator were getting blown back into the lab at the speed of a rabid Scrab. He nearly hit the surgical table, but he just managed to, at the last second, use his back leg to stop hitting it and getting impaled by all the armour piercing, flesh hacking knives. But this saving of life came at a price. He snapped several tendons in the leg, and dislodged a kneecap. But he ignored the pain. There was a far more urgent matter at hand. He had let go while stopping and the generator had flung up into the air like an Opple in a throwing contest. He managed to catch it, 20 cm above the ground. He then got up and apologized;
"Sorry about.. OUCH! that. I didn't mean to.. URGH! smash into the table. Now lets.. OW! get.. OW! back to business.. OOH!"
He grabbed his surgical tools, opening up the Mudokons stiches. The holes in the fat were still there, and he inserted the generator, after connecting it to the pacemaker. That was the relatively easy part. Now he had to take out the natural pacemaker and replace it.
"My elderly colleague, I must ask that you leave this room or get a suit. Sir, I advise you get a surgical mask, to avoid risking infecting this Mudokon. They normally store them under the heart monitor and over the temperature monitor. Its a little black CD drive shaped object."
