One might be surprised, but there were a few advantages to gaining an artificial leg to replace a terminally injured one, especially if said person has access to Gyro Gearloose's workshop. It comes with features of its own but it also renews freedom and for Scrooge, that meant adventures. Particularly as his children were reaching school age and didn't need him to be home 24/7 anymore. So, he started branching out, still officially retired mind, but able to travel wider again all the same.
Of course, there were several disadvantages to a Gearloose prosthetic too, mostly involved in its tendency to break.
Which is what Scrooge was currently taking care of, sitting in the tent he was sharing was Bridge (though said person was out at the moment). The rain poured down outside, and while it was dry inside, the wet weather was the chief complaint he had. His leg, mostly made of metal, apparently could rust and so he was here cleaning some last bits out of the joints, grumbling under his breath all the while. Of all the stupid, lame-brained, dumbass things...
