She hesitates visibly at the questions, sighing more to herself than anything else. Well, there's nothing for it now. It's not like they're likely to ever find one here, given the state of everything else, and she's done a decent enough job of upholding the Prime Directive, should it even apply at all. There's still the argument that it doesn't and that has her carefully picking out how much to answer his questions with.

"No, it can't replace limbs. We aren't quite that good." Cybernetics could, but that's another thing entirely and she's not about to go into it. Even though she definitely could. "But... a dermal regenerator regenerates skin. Like a skin graft in some ways, patching up a wound and encouraging new skin to grow organically. You'd never know the difference once it was through. An osteo-regenerator regenerates bone. If someone came in with a broken leg or arm, we could heal it in about five minutes with an osteo-regenerator."
