After high school graduation, Matt received his final, permanently installed limb. He'd long known what he wanted to do with himself once that happened; take steps to ensure what happened to him never happened to anyone else. He also knew he wanted to take a more direct role in that task, take the fight to whatever enemy came at them next. For that role, the Starfleet Marine Corps seemed the most appropriate. | After high school graduation, Matt received his final, permanently installed limb.

==Artificial Arm== | |||
Matt's right arm, to include the shoulder joint, is a ruggedized prosthetic hard mounted to his body. It is covered by a layer of synthetic skin giving it the appearance and feel of a normal human limb. While the lay has some give to it, one pressing into the skin will quickly feel the limb's hard shell underneath. The skin also includes sensors for tactile sensation, heat, and cold, though does not include pain receptors. | |||
The shell is constructed from duranium alloy, affording high durability for use in a combat environment. It has been theorized that he could stop a bladed weapons with it without causing damage to the underlying circuitry. | |||
For the most part, the shell is filled with the arm's control systems, structure, servos, and a regenerating power supply. It's upper arm portion includes a small toolkit, consisting of a small scanner and four miniaturized tools, for conducting field repairs. | |||
The arm gives Matt enhanced strength and speed for short durations, limited by the arm's power supply regeneration rate. His overall arm strength is limited by the strength of its bonds to his body. While they are stronger than human bone and ligaments, if they break in the field they cannot be repaired until Matt returns to the ship. Therefore, his overall arm strength is limited to half-again human norms. His grip strength, which does not have the same limitation, has been measured to be at least twice human normal. | |||
