Could you explain why? Because honestly, I would like to think that you have a better reason other than "no sane person would want to change themselves into a machine", but since the beginning of this vote I haven't seen anything other than that in differently veiled ways.
I think the fundamental disconnect here... is that i do not see becoming a machine as becoming inhuman. You are what you are, I am what I am. Be I flesh or metal or flowing electrons... I remain myself.

My personal opinion on this is a bit weirder. Why does humanity even matter? All that matters is that you're a person, human or not.
It's not so much as "Never be a machine" given that I was supporting an Alchemical Vista in the AS quest. It's more that I do not agree with a sudden hard shift from passing interest to "Make me a machine". Things like that need a progression over time to be believable/not break characterization, imo
Time did pass though, as far as I remember at least several weeks passed. I'm the wrong person to tell you whether it's enough time, since I honestly never held any attachment to any part of my body other than my mind, but time did pass, we just weren't observing Vista.
Maybe I have it wrong (and I bet I probably am), but I thought that Missy had her arm cut off more or less at the elbow, and if the Heavy Arm choice wins the rest of the arm up to the shoulder is going to be replaced.
Its not like thats going to happen either you know.
The chips will fall where they will, be it Heavy or Medium. I have found this vote period a little stressful, so I take no satisfaction no matter the result.
I… think I see the issue.
Umm, Sky? You might not want to get too disappointed just yet.
Both Medium and Heavy have Vista becoming transhumanist. It's a matter of whether she thinks staying within the baseline human shape should be a requirement or a suggestion.
Something we can agree on. Who'd'a figured.
Sad thing is that actually makes me more disappointed. I admit i didnt realize Vista taking it that far this soon was on the table. I thought heavy was more... baby steps, get heavy machine arm here... maybe another piece there... so on, eventually having her more machine than not but still fundamentally humanoid. Maybe at the far end some future vote would give us the chance to abandon it for something more efficient... But hell, turns out the option included starting to wean off the idea already!
It isn't a fully crystallized drive in her head right now. That would take a LOT more character development. It's where she'll end up. There's a reason even the heavily transhumanist option is still recognizably a human arm with under the hood enhancements.
OK, so what's your tie-breaking vote and how will you manage the salt that will follow?It's been twelve hours, and...
No.
NO!
You have GOT to be kidding me!
The problem is, it's pretty darn in-character fir her. She is one of the rare cases where she wants to have more of a work life. As far as I remember, it's also quite canon.
