I don't recall those - was there more, or less bickering?





I think the things he said were a dead giveaway. In particular, the things he said about the Lair Legion. The fact that they're inconsequential at a meeting of super villains speaks volumes.


And now comments on the newer part:

The part about Hallie got me thinking again in more detail about what might happen to Dr. Lia's androids.

When I came up with the idea, I actually researched on the internet, and Youtube, to see what the state of current mundane robotics technology looks like. As it turns out, we do have just about every single part available that made it into Anna and Nena's design, including highly realistic skin and hair (the Japanese have the jump on that one). The three biggest obstacles we have to actual realistic androids right now are software, budget, and the Uncanny Valley. The latter is directly related to the lack of proper software to make them look and behave like humans expect them to.

Now let's protect that into Anna and Nena's designs, and how plausible they are. We'll assume that Dr. Lia's secret is revolutionary control firmware, which then spawns into a learning computer with a full personality. That part is plausible, if Dr. Lia was obsessed enough to spend a lifetime honing the software, and was able to get an unlimited budget. The mechanics of the two of them is also plausible, with the exception that real-world batteries still kind of suck, and we have no repair nanites.

So I concluded that Anna and Nena would be able to operate normally, but can't allow themselves to get injured, because then they'd need immediate repair. They would also have to recharge approximately once every 6-8 hours, because that's about as long as the best Lithium Ion batteries smaller than car-sized would last. If they wait too long, they will go into suspend mode, and have to be dragged to a power outlet.

Yes, even their laser eyes are plausible, except in reality, at that level of wattage, it would drain their batteries in a matter of seconds.

The reason this is important is Hallie might be overestimating her chances of dying, depending if she managed to evolve her software (as Nena and Anna have) beyond its original purpose. Then again, if she did, she might not even realize it.

Also, Chiaki has been under their noses all along, inside the Lair Mansion. She doesn't want to be bothered because she's in such misery from all of the visions.
