All it really took was some clever wording. "Your body is technically a machine too, Grace." Koleda didn't even think about it when she said it, but the effects were already impressive. Grace Howard, once the reclusive technophilic researcher of Belebog Industries was now reinventing herself into someone much stronger, healthier, happier.

Though, nobody actually knew that was what was happening. She took a month long vacation, and promptly shut herself in, which seemed perfectly normal to her prior behavior. But, that's not the point. Today, you've been called in by Belebog's Ben Bigger to get Grace back to work, as her vacation's about to end.

You head over to the laboratory that Grace calls home, the door is slightly ajar and you can smell a sweat, oil, and some other unidentifiable smells. It's not overpowering, but it's certainly disconcerting. Poking your head in reveals the reasoning, as you instantly hear the sound of leather smacking flesh, leather, and metal, and as your eyes scan the incredibly messy workshop, you find the source. Grace is currently fighting a robot, and winning... easily.

You step forward to help, but she finishes the fight before words can leave your mouth. She turns towards the new sound and blinks.

"Oh! Hi there! Did Ben send you? I know, I know. It's been a month. I'll be back tomorrow, just needed to do some final testing."

You're speechless for a moment as your eyes drink in her form... she's a lot stronger now. A lot stronger. Her arms and abdomen, both on full display, are toned and strong, sweat shines over each contour making the light hit it just right enough to make them even more glistening. Quickly, you recover your tongue, affirming why you're here. Grace chuckles looking herself over and smiling brightly.

"Excellent! Oh man... I'm so proud of these new modifications. I mean, look at me! No longer will this machine be just a technician!"

Her smiles, sighing softly.

"I wonder if I should get custom gear... maybe actually start fighting... hm."
