Very nice sequence. Re the arm, it is currently double grappled between the Lab PDGF and MBS PDGF#3, sort of wrapped around the lab. So it's unlikely that that's what you're seeing. I believe it's been double-grappled as 'standard procedure' for the upcoming possible de-crewing due to waning food supplies. If the Progress 16P is delayed significantly it may force the crew to abandon the station.
