The musculoskeletal structure was a big giveaway to the combat grade of the overall system.
It was odd though. She'd heard repeatedly that TW used magic or psychic energy, and users of such things couldn't get bionics even to replace a lost limb. Some sort of incompatibility regarding such devices. So a Technowizard cyborg or robot seemed an impossibility.
Finding a wind-up key led to searching for and finding the appropriate place. It was connected to a TW device that was connected to what seemed sort of like the main power core. So...
Kizna finally decided to try the kid. He probably had enough juju or magic points or whatever they called it.
Jiraiya watched the three, Naruto's hands on the key and the key inserted into place on the 'doll' that they'd acquired. "So what can you tell us about her so far?"
"Start winding, gently," Kizna advised Naruto. "Keep a steady flow of chakra. I'll give a detailed report later. I need her activated for the remainder."
"TOO," squeaked the gynoid, "FAST!"
"Naruto!" chided Jiraiya. "Remember the water walking. A constant stream, not a rushing river."
"Uh, yeah," said Naruto, who'd jumped three feet away at the gynoid's reaction. He went back and started over again, more cautiously.
There was silence except for the constant electronic hum of the instruments and the clicking of Naruto winding the girl up.
Naruto heard a final click and sudden resistance. "Eh?"
"Stop," said Kizna, holding a hand up to the kid. "Don't overwind her. I don't know how to repair the technowizard stuff."
"What IS that, anyway?" asked Jiraiya, holding up his comlink. "This device doesn't give me a lot of details."
"Well, there's this," said Kizna, holding a tube with reddish crystal in it. "This is from her right arm assembly and is one of the parts I recognize. You pump energy in, then when you trigger it - it shoots off an energy blast."
"Oh, so it's like a pre-made jutsu," realized Jiraiya. The concept sunk in and his eyes widened at the possibilities inherent in the concept. He HAD to get his hands on some of this 'techno-wizard' stuff.
"I guess, I don't work much in the magic end of things, it's hard enough to keep up with all the technical journals and developments just in robotics and bionics." Kizna clicked a couple of relays.
"This is entirely wrong," said the gynoid's head. "You've disconnected my parts and spread them out all over the room."
"Well, most of you is on the table," pointed out Kizna.
"I'm looking at the soles of my own feet," countered the gynoid.
