A lifetime passed before he awoke.
When consciousness stirred him from the starless void, overhead lights spiked his eyes, blinding him to his surroundings. He might as well have still been asleep, for all he could see.
He squinted on reflex. Reflex was all he could manage at the moment.
Voices murmured in the light.
“Oh, doctor? His eyes are open, but I do hope he’s actually awake this time.”
“Neural activity is stable. He should be conscious, if not communicative.”
“Well, then—hello, Grievous. Can you hear me? Or speak, for that matter?”
The voice was talking to him.
He could speak. Something told him he could, something beyond instinct, and just as instinct tried to work a nonexistent jaw, tongue and lips, the something beyond shut that nonsense down in a cold, precise instant. It had no words, yet it taught him how to generate them.
“Y...y-yes,” he managed to force out, and the sound grated on his senses, strident, discordant.
“Ah, wonderful.” The words oozed with palpable self-satisfaction. “You’ll be pleased to learn that the operation has been a success. There is truly nothing that cannot be accomplished with the proper application of a great deal of money.”

Quick doodle before bed, a different flavor of robot skeleton. Will probably finish it.

I was NOT prepared for General Grievous to jump down with a "Hello there" to Obi Wan in the Clone Wars, the original meme just got 10000% funnier. And Obi-Wan remembering some encounter from like 3 years ago and being able to reference it and mock Grievous mid-fight is so ridiculously in character. Yall be mocking Anakin for being dramatic but you forget who his big brother is.
