Can Anna still function without a head? Asking for a friend.

Back when she processed the 9.3TB equation, Anna mentioned that she was relieved the neural tissue wasn't damaged since that always leads to loss of some memories for her. Based on that, she'd likely at least suffer complete amnesia if her head was destroyed.

That said, if it was a decapitation strike and the head itself survived, I suspect she'd just plug it back on with her Impeller. We've seen her create water pipelines and distribute electricity during her first construction mission, the same principles could be used for re-connecting her brain.
 
Anna, as things are, does not seem to need her body, aside from the head. She likely can feed the brain directly, just as she directly feeds body cells via distributing nutrients through Impeller and Valkyrie magic.
Even eyes, mouth and ears are not a necessity; she looks at things through sensors anyway, and can communicate via comms only.

Now, the psychological impact of losing all the body except for the head would be rather unfortunate.

Following this train of logic, would I be correct in saying that the only thing stopping Anna from cosplaying as the Headless Horseman is that it'd be too scary for the other Valks-in-training?
 
Hilarous as that would be, a very literal take on that cosplay would still require her to hide the head away from prying eyes (and impellers)... I would have said more, but then I remembered that Anna doesn't really use her biological systems to live, as IIRC she's using her impeller to deliver the nutrients and whatnot straight to all of her cells.

In light of that, decapitation is but a minor inconvenience. Especially now that Anna has demonstrated ability to greatly extend her Impeller Field, meaning that she can hide the head out of the way where few would think to check upon seeing her dullahan cosplay.

A better general question - how is Valkyrie's Core is stored, and what happens to that storage after potential Valkyrie dismemberment?

Explanation - One of sticking points on Wave Force is that Impeller-made Wave Force (not sure about Higgs-made one) requires a very high Impeller Density, something that can only be achieved in close proximity to the physical body (and/or the core, not sure what's more factually correct). As such the question on where specifically (in relation to expressed body parts) Valkyrie Core is stored is not an idle one - if it's anchored to the brain then Lordgenome cosplay is more viable, otherwise the hapless hypothetical Valkyrie will have to keep the body parts closer together.

Hey @Avalanche, did you come up with something for this?
My guess: If the "core" is gone, the Valkyire is anchored on the body instead. Their entire body is considered the core for purposes of impeller projection. If the anchor is broken, presumably the section with the head would be considered the part that's still the anchor.

What I mean by anchor is that I think the "core" is actually just an anchor for the Valkyrie "system" in the absence of a user to anchor it in the real world. If it's destroyed, the system isn't broken but it can't be accessed anymore.
 
Huh. You know, I had assumed that Legion of One avatars would be incapable of using the Wave force, because no body, but... why no body? When you are on impeller life support, why not just separate an arm, Gate it to the clone, and use it to cast the Wave Force?

Huh. If it works, LoO makes Red Wave hilariously good.
Well, as long as WF does not propagate back to us through the Gate. Which it might.
 
It just came to me, but considering valks can clone and store body parts, and Anna does not really need biological functions other than the brain (and ditching the brain is an actual option)...
Would it be possible for Anna to construct complete new bodies for herself, and then link them so she becomes a hivemind on her own?
Like, keep a constant stream of consciousness between bodies so that each brain has a same set of memories at all times, so if one body dies, others can keep going without any disruption.

Range limits, and combats speeds would make this likely to expensive to maintain.
 
Valmond said:
So it would need some refinements going forward.
Possibly somekind of cybernetic quantum radio to keep instant coms between bodies if we want to keep a spare body safely outside combat, just so we have a complete backup of our memories.

Some hypothetical QE comms would have a lot more value than doing this specific thing. Strategic communications would benefit exceptionally, if those comms are unjammable; space forces and communications with Moon Base(s) would profit a lot from lack of lightspeed lag too.

Alas, even Anna does not seem to have such a thing.

i did say some refinements were needed.
upgrading two cans on a string until they become QE comms being one of them.

So where are the details about what Legion of One does, because I seem to have missed it.

Yeah I've got that bit, I'm looking for the explaination that justifies this sort of theory crafting.

The skill description doesn't mention avatars and it sounds more like a one woman army train therefore I assume there is some WoG that details it.

I believe that they're thinking of that time Anna and what's-his-butt made and controlled those Frames from spare parts, but I don't know where the supposition that WF isn't completely caused by and guided with the Impeller came from.

Given the level of concentration for WF, Anna probably can't use a unmanned Frame as a proxy for the dangerous moves any time soon, if ever.

Ah was Legion of One unlocked as a result of that action?
