I also don't have a technician to check my hand when it acts up.

wait... you seriously have alien hand syndrome?! 😮😯

No, just tendonitis.

ah, ok. 😅👍

I know she's preoccupied. But given that she seemed to be doing a striptease, I find it somewhat humorous that Dulcibella's using her only fully functional arm to cover the bust she would've just been unveiling to everyone.

?... i don't get it.

She was not trying to do a strip tease... that was the whole point.

Her predictive systems thought she was though.

Which resulted in her trying to stop her predictive systems in a panicked fashion.

And if you try and stop a machine in panic you're sure you will be going to do "a mess".

In this case it resulted in her hand messing up.

Ooooh... I am embarrassment personified.

You see, the visual cues from the art were all I had at this point. I still haven't gotten around to deciphering the tale's text, and Slayden is known for his quality folios of racy anthro women... so the outfit and motions made me draw false conclusions. Although I did think it odd this famous war hero would then start her cabaret career that way.

To be fair though, you are right: If the glove fits...

I wanted her to do a dance thing, maybe a bit sexy.

But the whole point was that... yyyeah...

...she would end up fighting her own cybernetics which was misinterpreting what she was doing for some sexy striptease and proceed to strip her.

To be fair i have no clue how to present that in a wordless comic.

But you are correct in saying what you said could totally be an interpretation of this sequence.
