keyboard strapped to a forearm. I did not see it close up, but likely it would

tool and on its control panel was an alphanumeric pad which was arranged not
qwerty but in alphabetical order, very confusing to type on.

(intercostals etc), and his skeleton by thickened ribs with enlarged
intercostal muscle attachment lines.
