Plate 77 of Tome 4. Traité complet de l'anatomie de l'homme comprenant la médecine opératoire /Complete Treatise on Human Anatomy Including Operative Medicine. Dr. Jean-Marc Bourgery. Lithographic plates drawn from nature by Nicolas-Henri Jacob. 1831-1846.
The autonomic nervous system and vasculature of the torso.
My rib cage lies bare, now you are aware of my inner warfare. That’s how I was left, with a sliced open chest. The one who owns my bones, wants to chain my veins in his helpless rage. But under my defenceless thin skin lies just dust, dust you must turn into trust and lust. That’s the only sin beneath my skin -my ice-cold angel dust.
Monkey Wrench Q&A Archive - Character Asks Part 2 (The Bucket, Tyneen, Ricket, Scritch, Scratch, Kara, and Scythelord)
(Part 1 - Part 1b - Part 3)
EDIT 12/23/25: Updated with some asks I missed and a few more sources!
Part two yippeee... what can I say besides what I said in the first post. Tumblr hates when you have too many links in one post so these are all in three parts...
Oh! I've also added the character playlists made by Tito at the very end :) (I wanted to link Shrike and Beebs' playlists in the first post, but Tumblr hates when you have too many links in one post...)
The Bucket
- When asked why The Bucket doesn’t have a bathroom: “The Bucket is a very old ship of Terran design that was heavily stripped for parts. Being so bare bones really reduced the purchase cost for S&B and they've been adding to it little by little after each job.
In Ep 1 Beebs even mentions they currently can't afford to fix her up more until they get better paying jobs....
...and then Shrike wastes P75k on a paint job.” (source 1) (source 2)
- When asked if The Bucket has a medical bay: “They're on the 'lets pray none of us get some sort of major injury else we're screwed' kind of deal.” (source)
