She's really suited for a big Bourne-style adventure.

Quote:

Her advantage re the robots is severalfold. She can pass for a humanoid robot (cause her brain is, as I recall, shielded from scans), so she could be anything from an assassinbot to a sexbot. She's got considerably higher physical stats than most humanoid robots (although probably not the big industrial machines simply because size equates to force). She's for a skillset that is hard to replicate by software and experience that is impossible to duplicate except by getting it. She's got the chutzpah to go for it and do things that all but the most sophisticated human personality replicas would never dream of. And, although Yuki had been well publicised as a Legionnaire, I'm betting she can disguise her appearance simply by losing the distinctive pink hair colour.

Or wearing wigs, since her usual hair isn't too long.

Being smart, she would probably specifically choose a type of robot that usually has minimal supervision. Otherwise she's end up surrounded by humans or robots equipped with countermeasures that could hurt even her. Like pretending to be a sexbot might be riskier because while undercover some robot pimp could put her in heavy chains or a sealed vault where she would be in real distress.

But I could see her pretending to be an assassin bot, or some kind of sophisticated maintenance robot. Especially because looking the way she does, everyone who meets her would assume she was very expensive and sophisticated, and therefore not someone to mess with.

        Postcode or convict number? · HH couldn't resist. He is horrible. · Thu Jan 28, 2016 at 03:43:59 pm EST
        
        Nah, that's Coromandel 2 153 78957 1449167 2509. Convict numbers are complicated. · Al B. Harper Wears it with pride. · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 04:21:10 am EST
        
        Coromandel is a great character name. Noted. · HH · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 03:54:20 pm EST
        
        It is isn't it? After the Coromandel Coast, so good for a southern Indian or Sri Lankan character perhaps. · Al B. Harper · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 09:10:57 pm EST
        
        Possibly related the the Chola Tamil Dynasty, descended from one of the "Three Crowned Kings". · HH · Sat Jan 30, 2016 at 07:22:06 am EST

- After excessive bookkeeping, I tend to prefer a nice nap. Actually, that usually goes for during the bookkeeping. · Visionary believes in being well-rested when letting things sort themselves out. · Wed Jan 20, 2016 at 02:08:55 pm EST
  - Isn't 'excessive bookkeeping' a tautology? · HH · Thu Jan 21, 2016 at 02:12:03 am EST
    - I suppose that a librarian might argue that. · Visionary · Thu Jan 21, 2016 at 01:30:52 pm EST
      - Ah, he's dead. · HH · Fri Jan 22, 2016 at 01:00:52 am EST
        
        They say that about print in general. · Visionary · Fri Jan 22, 2016 at 11:47:24 am EST
        
        Print book sales actually rose by 3% last year. · HH · Fri Jan 22, 2016 at 03:32:26 pm EST
        
        Really? Time to reinvest in paper then! · Visionary · Fri Jan 22, 2016 at 10:52:12 pm EST
        
        At the same time, predictions of increase in the e-book market proved over-optomistic · HH suspects there my be a saturation point of kindle users · Sat Jan 23, 2016 at 09:16:42 am EST
        
        Still, my mother started reading ebooks, which I feel must represent some kind of tipping point... · Visionary · Mon Jan 25, 2016 at 01:23:38 am EST
        
        The end times? · HH · Mon Jan 25, 2016 at 09:48:10 am EST
        
        I think once she doesn't need to call me to ask me how to do something on her tablet we'll have a better understanding of how close we are. · Visionary · Tue Jan 26, 2016 at 01:52:45 pm EST
        
        On the other hands, she did push you through her birth canal. That has to have been inconvenient for her. · HH spoent an hour supporting his septegenarian cousin through getting kindle on her tablet recently. · Wed Jan 27, 2016 at 02:08:06 am EST
        
        True, but to be fair I've bought her more than 40 nice greeting cards thanking her for that. · Visionary · Thu Jan 28, 2016 at 03:12:08 pm EST
        
        Jumping in because I can · Al B. Harper · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 04:33:18 am EST
        
        Looking before leaping? · HH · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 04:06:45 pm EST
        
        Plunging in blind! · Al B. Harper · Fri Jan 29, 2016 at 09:19:36 pm EST
        
        Eyes shut is different to blind. · HH · Sat Jan 30, 2016 at 07:24:07 am EST
        
        Same result, however. Unless you are the Daredevil. · Al B. Harper · Tue Feb 02, 2016 at 06:01:43 am EST
        
        She must be so proud · HH · Thu Jan 28, 2016 at 07:29:40 pm EST
        
        And, for no other reason than I found it while hunting GNS material, here is a link to Paris in December by Dancer · HH really liked this one · Wed Jan 27, 2016 at 02:42:15 am EST
        
        That is a very special story indeed... · Visionary · Thu Jan 28, 2016 at 12:46:54 am EST
