yep, by a very complex and unpredictable pice of equipment that just proved its safety protocols are not working, so it should be shut down or destroyed, and the remains studied to ensure that such a thing does not repeat.

Meh, we cant upgrade all the Ringleaders anymore so let's make sure that Alchemist get something usable

Correct. And that machine will be taken offline to analyze what exactly went wrong. This isnt a military grade t-doll, the 3 laws should be obeyed.

Still correct. The only diffrence is the ring leader would be taken apart to understand why it no longer follows orders.

you are correct. To my understanding, we are legally speaking, effectively outlaws. Neither protected or bound by laws as either would require the law to admit we are people. The only reason not to kill humans is humanity as a whole is twitchy about us so even very justified killings outside of active combat might scuttle the deal we need to make to survive. No matter how satisfying it would be for some members of our opposition to suffer some "industrial accidents".

Does that mean that if we added nanoscopic saw theeth to our kitchen knife it would cut better?
Handsaws aren't mechanicaly more complex than knives and can cut through any thickness of material.
Also plasma blades still can't cut through tank armor because of the ceramic inserts.
Are we running the plasma blades from the same battery as the guns?

Could we convince Alchemist to switch to an axe for its superior anti-armor capability?
Actually an axe would be much better use of our molecular edge tech than a sword, we could probably cut an anvil in half with it.
Axes cut good even when the blade is much wider than that of a sword because the wedge shape widens the entry wound which causes cracks to form along the path of the blade which weakens the area.
If you want an anti armor melee weapon you don't want something that cuts, you want something that splits.

lasma weaponry is soft sci-fi b#llsh$t.

-[X] Monomlcular blades provided as a backup.
Gotta admit, a little salty about this update.
Alchemist's blades are thick enough to fit a gun in the middle. Looking at the image provided (specifically, the weapon in her left hand, on our right), the blades are visibly centimeters thick only halfway up their length. Alchemist should should be getting her blades stuck in everything already!
I figured this was either an already-solved problem, or Alchemist was just that hella strong.

Anyway, this request is pretty straight-forward. You find a recent picture of your client and her weapons.

I mean, why can't we make a chainsword? Chainswords are cool. Surely it wouldn't encounter any grater energy requirements than an E-sword

They're also complicated, fragile, and really not compatible with sword techniques. Most swords don't try to throw you into or away from the object your slicing. Chainsaws do.
Again, solvable problem. But lightsabers are right there and proven to work.

Fair enough. I suppose practicality trumps cool factor. But it was mentioned that we might be able to make wire with this tech, and that could be useful in the future. A wire that thin would be almost impossible to detect, and while it would be kinda flimsy, I can imagine a version of it that will snap in one hit, but will do more damage the more force you hit it with, resulting in an anti-vehicle tripwire. (Or maybe that's unrealistic, again, I mostly think about cool-factor)

She's not going to remember anything 'cause no backups during the mission. As far as she's concerned, her team might have been wiped out before even reaching the workshop.
I like this refreshing spin! It's the question I'll have to face pretty soon too as we're getting closer to the end.
Who?
The only problem is sawing kinda takes time and a number of strokes. Imagine using a hand saw in combat.
Who said plasma? Who said inserts?
That's why she wants better blades?
So, I was like "okay, this time I'll make the fixed-type choice work. I'll literally write that one option satisfies the requirement, stress that we're sharpening the existing blades, and post the picture that shows how sharpening won't do much for those sticks... oh, and put a minor inconvenience such as power dependency that hasn't inconvenienced anybody so far as everything about Ringleaders requires power." And voila, the mono-molecular option still wins.
I feel you. Me, I was devastated.
She is strong enough to dismantle infantry, but to attempt a cut through armored steel she'd need to swing so fast the blade would break the sound barrier, which might be still beyond her.
We can, though Imperium fighting style is not what Alchemist excels at.

a weed wacker type set up with that kind of wire would actually be really really lethal. hell I'm pretty sure its easy to make something that would randomly whip a wire around at god why speeds for a bit. There are ways to make use of this technology.
I think the thought process's was "oh mono-molecular swords! I've seen those in other fiction as swords that cut through everything! that sounds rad as hell." without stopping to think if they actually work in this setting.
Tank armor has ceramic inserts and apparently i totaly missed you meant energy in general in 'energy blades'
I can't cut my tomatoes without crushing them if i don't do a sawing motion. The trick is to do it in a single motion.
