Dwyr

Ensign Flandry.

Imagine this on screen. Dwyr the Hook is a badly damaged, mortally wounded Merseian cyborg. He suddenly arrives as Hauksberg confronts Flandry and Persis. 

They see:

seared, twisted metal;

a severed bleeding arm;

tight, gray skin on the remains of a face;

light coming and going in artificial eyes;

a rolling head.

They hear:

a toneless, wavering voice;

a rattling servomotor;

Eriau duodecimals coughed forth;

his name, Dwyr of Tanis, once the Merry;

wobbling words;

his wife's name, Sivilla, as he begs to be switched off.

Flandry does not notice:

oil;

scorched insulation.

Sudden horror, maybe discordant with the rest of the story - although the effects of combat should also be shown when appropriate.
