Pidge hadn't thought about how unnerving it would be to have the sensation of nothingness hanging off his side essentially. Her priority had been to stop the pain, to get rid of the sensitivity and she'd accomplished that.

Sorry Shiro.

The scanner gets set aside as she gets off the bench and goes to grab a towel from one of her other work spaces. She returns quickly, the worry still lingering on her face as she rests a hand on the now deactivated shoulder port and lifts the towel with her other hand to gently wipe away some of the sweat that had built up along his hairline.

"I'm sorry that took so long. Galra tech is advanced but unnecessarily complicated in a lot of ways," she said with a bit of a frown that was gone in the next moment. "Now that I've got all the data from it I can work out how to reconfigure it and program it the way I want it to be--in a way that works in a less damaging way. Then Hunk and I can get started on a new arm for you. For now I'm going to make a temporary patch to cover everything, keep the wires hidden and away from any elements they would be exposed to if they were just hanging out like they are." She attempts a smile, searching his face as she lowers the towel. None of this was best case scenario but there was only so much any of them could do. "I promise we'll work as fast as we can, Shiro."

The sooner they could get him a functioning arm the better.
