2018-12-29 06:31:27 +0000 UTCSydney! The correct response is: "A limb suit? Cool!" She must not have seen any <i>Six Million Dollar Man</i> or <i>Bionic Woman</i> growing up.

2018-12-28 05:26:07 +0000 UTC"Full Ham" - is that like 'ham-fisted'? Or is it some gaming reference?

2018-12-28 05:23:05 +0000 UTCProbably has a neural interface which allows for complete simulated feedback. Note that the bronze shell of the arms extends around the back of her neck excellent access to the spinal nerves.

2018-12-28 01:59:44 +0000 UTCAt least her robolimbs are awesome and functional! Though now I am wondering how much feedback she gets from them.

2018-12-27 15:47:29 +0000 UTCTo be fair, arch-swat is a unit meant to respond to superhuman threats, not to police the streets. If a situation doesnt require the application of supernormal levels of non-lethal to lethal force.. They are not likely to be the team you need. (obviously doing search and rescue/cleanup jobs in disaster areas is one noteworthy exception).

2018-12-27 15:47:09 +0000 UTCSo, when Cora exercises her right to bear arms, it's not just the weaponry...

2018-12-27 14:57:45 +0000 UTCHalo could have used slightly better words. "Use non-lethal force whenever possible" could be taken to mean "Use force whenever possible, albeit non-lethally." But I'm not complaining. I wouldn't have said it any better without a script.

2018-12-27 14:45:03 +0000 UTCThere's a difference between stopping off at a market kiosk to pick up a what amounts to a trinket (the holowings) vs looking for what amounts to an actual medical unit that would be familiar with human biology.
Dark Kuno
2018-12-27 13:28:25 +0000 UTCSo why haven't they gotten Sydney's glasses repaired? Or, better yet, some sort of high-tech upgrade?

2018-12-27 13:01:08 +0000 UTCHeck, in a society where we have decent vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella people still contract those diseases (sometimes through missing the vaccinations, sometimes through choice of guardian). High tech and high standard of living offer the opportunity for a better life, but not the guarantee of one regardless of our own actions. The obesity epidemic in First-World nations is a good example of that. It would be hard to relate to (and build a fictional world we're invested in) a society where people don't act like people in a way we're familiar with.

2018-12-27 12:21:52 +0000 UTCYes Sydney; quadriplegia . . . Hilarious!
Michael Obert
2018-12-27 12:19:17 +0000 UTCKinda curious how a society high-tech enough to create "limb suits" wasn't advanced enough to prevent children from being born with such disabilities. Then again, maybe they can't for some reason and that's why they're so good at making limb suits. They had to be.
