Polamedes right hand falls slack and disconnects from his arm at the wrist, his skin flays backwards in strips like a swissroll. Under the skin tiny nanomachines start to assemble into a latticework tightly packed but slowly expanding struggling to contain a large glowing blue energy. As the energy builds the ligaments in the elbow pop and shred and are replaced with thin strands of nanomachines support fibers. The forearm expands outward pulsing with energy ballooning before causing it to collapse back in on itself ejecting a large blue-black ball of electric-plasma that fires from the arm towards the target. The ball is a tightly packed mass of nanomachines held together with thin electrical netting. Upon contact with a living ogranism the nanomachines burrow in and grow stronger off the organisms bio-electricity before starting to dismantle it's organic flesh.
Afterwards the skin strips hang loose before the tiny bots start punching holes in the stipes and then threading them together with slimy stitches. Once all stipes are restitched the disconnected hands fingers break backwards pulling themselves back towards the wrist and reconnecting.
