Gamzee will be cut out of the tentacle-thing on Wednesday, June 27. He will be injected with a drug that will render him powerless and paralyzed, except in that he can speak. He will be able to feel the surgery, but will not feel pain from it. His surgery will be performed by Jin. Gamzee will be skinned, and said skin will be replaced with tin.

Gamzee will recover enough to interact and use abilities within two hours. He will find his movement are naturally very stiff, like a toy soldier might move. He is in danger of rusting if he is exposed to water. Gamzee is free to move about the pod, but even thinking of rebellion will lead to being strapped to a hospital bed.
