"Making it detachable was always the idea. Starting off basic...well, that depends on your definition of basic," Pidge mused with a grin. Her idea of basic wasn't exactly the same as others because she had a list of things she was going to make sure to include in the design to make sure it functioned well out the gate. Upgrades were always going to be a thing though because everything had room to be improved upon.
Shiro got a sincere smile at his comment about wearing something designed by her and the others before all of her focus went to the task at hand. There would be time to discuss more later. Right now she needed to pay attention to what she was doing and make sure that she didn't--
Her hands still when he sucks in that breath, Pidge's eyes flicking to his face to watch his expression for a moment. She doesn't hesitate long, though, well aware that the longer she drags it out the worse it's going to be. She shifts to prop one knee on the bench, gaze back on the empty shoulder socket as she sets back to work. Each exposed nerve ending is soldered, several of the getting soldered together to form a circuit so they're at least out of the way while Pidge's hands are in the mass of circuitry and no longer so hypersensitive. There were a lot to take care of but she worked diligently, focusing on a batch at a time then moving them out of the way carefully so she can get to next. Finally she was able to get to the core of the nerve connection and start to disable it, setting aside the tools she'd been using and swapping them out for completely different ones--a regular old screwdriver and a small laser scalpel. Screwdriver held in her mouth while one hand holds some of the capped nerve endings out of the way, Pidge carefully cuts away part of the connection port.
"Almost there," she murmured around the screwdriver, setting the laser scalpel aside and using the screwdriver now to open up an access port she'd exposed. She glances down and snags her scanner, screwdriver once more in her mouth, and lets go of the nerve endings with her other hand so she can plug her scanner into the port and start to override the system commands. For a moment Shiro would feel the sensations spike, the nerve endings feeling like they were on fire as the Galra tech tried to fight back--
and then nothing.
"There!" Relief was obvious in Pidge's voice as the screwdriver clattered against her scanner, the younger Paladin looking to Shiro with worry in her eyes as she unplugged from the port inside his shoulder. "How does it feel? Can you feel anything?"
