Well, an idea came to mind, when someone had mentioned the conjoined twins in a turtleneck (in the voting for 6k - BTW - VOTE in the journal by leaving your choice!) and went with an idea of this drawing - a female scientist in a sleeveless turtleneck sweater & skirt (and the glasses), yet with a cybernetic/robotic arm & leg, as well as an additional head! I was thinking of putting a back-story to this piece (maybe add her as a Trouble~Magnets character), yet, decided to leave it open-ended and see what other people come up with. I already have a "story with her", but let's see what other's come up with!
Shoot away and let's hear a story! Meanwhile, Enjoy!

Ok, here's my suggestion for her story:
=======
Linda Larson is a brilliant graduate research assistant for a noted medical researcher doing advanced studies in the area of cloning and biomechanics. Doctor Janet Michaels all but considered Linda to be a noted colleague, and planned to make her a partner in her company when their research reached the stage where they could commercialize their work. It was also rumored that they enjoyed a romantic relationship that had started as a deep friendship outside of the lab, but they were very, very careful to keep it all "business" when they were in the laboratory.
One day, there was a terrible accident in their lab, and both women were seriously injured. Dr. Michaels suffered the worst injuries, with broken bones over most of her body, and many of her major organs seriously damaged as well. Linda was also gravely injured when a heavy shelf packed with equipment fell on her right side, forcing doctors to amputate her right arm and leg.
When told about Doctor Michaels' grave condition, Linda remembered one of their research projects, and asked Janet if she wanted her to save her life. Time was of the essence since their doctors determined Janet did not have long to live, and she consented, but could not imagine how their work could be applied here. The last thing Janet remembered was the doctors rushing her down the hallway to an operating room, and seeing Linda's bed also being moved in, before she lost consciousness.
When Janet awoke, the first thing she noticed was Linda's pretty head next to hers in the bed, in very close proximity. She glanced down, and saw what looked like a female-shaped metallic arm and hand extending below her right shoulder, and a shiny leg, shaped like a woman's limb, extending below her hips.
In an operation that took almost a day, surgeons had first used Janet's research to clone her spinal cord, attach it to her head, and implant it onto Linda's shoulders. Then, the doctors implanted the robotic arm and leg that Linda had been working on, onto her body. Since she had used her own arms and legs as models, they were an exact match for the limbs she had lost.
Upon waking, Linda gave Janet another surprise: she had told the doctors to give Janet full use of her left arm and leg on the left side of their now shared body. Linda would go through the hard work in physical therapy and refinements to her computer program to make the prosthetic arms and legs of their right side operate properly under her control.
"Why would you do this?" asked a tearful Janet, when she realized that her friend had made an incredible sacrifice to save her life.
"Because," said Linda tenderly, "I love you so much, and you are the more talented of the two of us, and I decided it is more important that you have the the use of *our* more sensitive left arm and hand. I will keep working to make our right arm and hand function so that we can continue our work...together!" And then she turned and kissed Janet to seal the deal!
It took almost a year, but with hard work, Janet and Linda were able to make a full recovery, and are now back at work. Linda continues to refine the algorythym that helps drive the right side of their shared body. Janet is working on cloning Linda's lovely skin so that eventually, they will be able to cover their metallic arm and leg with a natural skin layer so that all four of their limbs will match in appearance. Janet also realized that her friend had bestowed on her the gift of youth, and had gone from being a 49-year old woman starting to feel her age, to a young and healthy 23-year old!
In recognition of Linda's unselfish move to save them *both*, Janet changed her last name to "Larson", and then married Linda, who changed her last name to Michaels. And then, in an unprecedented move, she got her college to confer on Linda an identical doctorate degree in recognition of her pioneering work in biomechanical cloning. And in the future, all of the results of their joint research would be published under their married name:
Doctor Linda Janet Michaels-Larson.
The End.
