Quote: Quote: I don't think losing the Technopolitan kit will affect Yuki's perfomance at all now. That's the bit of data that nobody had because nobody, even Yuki, realised it.Quote: I imagined what she might lose is the ability to handle the sort of rapid motion that Anna could. Yuki's brain limits the amount of input she can process - the technopolitan interface probably queued it somehow like a computer helps you multitask. She'll operate perfectly normal, still beyond human, but she might not be able to keep up with Speed Machine from the Machine Shop, for instance.I don't think there should be any difference, really. Or if there is, the defecits should be balanced by the benefits. I suppose she might lose some process time but she gains in intuitive very human innovation. But really I just meant to indicate that she no longer needed the artificial device to do what she does; her brain has simply adapted. Quote: Anna would, though, and because her computer brain is different, it's much more difficult to take that ability away from her.Quote: The human-brain-computer interface is pretty much the reason. Anna and Hallie can get bodies like Yuki's made, but because they can control it directly. Yuki is a prototype; which really hasn't been viable for duplication yet because it's way too expensive (especially because each one would be custom made), the parts are way too scarce, and because even after all that money and time, maybe a small percentage of people can even drive it successfully. A multimillion dollar body that enables you to look more stylish sitting in a wheelchair is useless.Quote: How's that for a reason?  I'm sure cost can be a limiting factor, but a villain that can afford an army of killer robots can afford an army of killer androids. Let's not forget that most of the self-willed robots populating the Parodyverse aren't high-perfomance combat models either. Almost all the human-looking ones (the "urban" robots) have close-to-human strength and reflexes; Tandi, for example. Only the ones who work the ilgeal machine fighting circuits and the criminal ones like the Machine Shop upgrade to major combat capacity. Quote: Quote: But Yuki's been doing this brain/body interface stuff for a while now. She doesn't need the Technopolitan training wheels any more. She's the only person on Earth to develop the mental disciplines to do what the Techno[politan interface can do in her own head. That's why she was able to get past what should have been a permanently crippling bit of damage and do the hero stuff regardless; that and a good deal of heroic willpower.Quote: Yeah, by now her brain has figured out how to operate much of the controls on her own.I think too that a human pilot will always fly better under some circumstances than a computer program. | |||||||
