How does one accidentally get a spinal inplant?

by falling on it while it has a needle in your back and is trying to feed off you, in short

#it's a little contrived but basically some of the aware (conscious) v1s that dont have hosts have learned how to like. #vampire suck energy out of creatures without being paired to them by 'biting' (inserting the main energy tap) at the base of the neck #(in like. the littleguy implant mode. they scuttle around like beetles to preserve power sometimes. again not Made to do that but adapting) #zarian tries to feed off of arthur out of desperation bc he's running out of power and arthur is the only living thing around #arthur freaks the hell out (understandable) and while trying to get him off falls on his back #and basically like. stabs himself a new implant which has some kind of hand-waved auto-function to connect itself when that happens #because it is SUPPOSED to happen in a controlled and sterile environment. lol #good job guys #going in the tags to spare my tumblr followers :praying: #steelheart redux #ask #piratea02 #early story is still a very hazy rough but thats the gist of it
