Dealing with all that which, by everything I know, should have killed her already. Hell, just the drop from the bridge would have risked killing a healthy person, to say nothing of the impact splitting what's currently masquerading as her 'skin' open like a ripe tomato. And I'm not sure at all about her regaining consciousness considering the shock from the pain/damage, plus the massive blood loss. Plus, she's been bleeding/dying for at least a few minutes by this point, because Lung had to drag her all the way out of the cells to the bridge.
...
She wakes up again
There doesn't seem (to my personal opinion) any reason to have Lisa suffer this much other than solely to have Lisa suffer. You could have had Lung hurt her half as much and still had the exact same results, but more believability in regards to Lisa actually surviving to the point help finds her.
At least, that's what it seems like to me. I hope I'm not missing something.
Eh, Taylor just has to make her look different. I don't see how Coil or Lung would be a serious issue unless TT really messes up. Then as long as she gets away, Taylor could change her appearance again.A Fog-built cyborg body wouldn't have to require brute ratings, honestly.
And Tats isn't going to want to go anywhere anytime soon, even if she trusts Taylor not to have built in failsafes. Both Coil and Lung would be very interested in meeting with her again, if she popped up somewhere.
On the plus side, she no longer has to deal with pesky body urges and hormones. Her power already wouldn't let her enjoy physical intimacy (not even pg stuff, IIRC). So the new body would likely be an improvement for that alone, from Lisa's PoV.I just hope that Tattletale doesn't go all "I didn't ask for this" after Taylor spent hours trying to save her, and only went for the cyborgization as an absolute last resort because she considered life to be better than death.
Unless it's irony. Then yes.
Pure salt water, yes.Surely salt water would be less bad for infection? Not that it matters much by then.
Taylor's mind is an emulator running in her Union Core. Nothing about her body is biological. She has sensors through her nanomaterial (somehow) that let her perceive the world around her. In order to not break her sanity that input is being presented to Taylor's mind in the same format she's grown up with - her human senses by default and occasionally branching out into things like infrared. That does not mean Taylor knows how to connect between her nanites and Lisa's biology.Kind of? I'm talking about how... Okay, so you have the Biological Systems and the context built up from life to understand what your sense tell you, then you have the mechanical systems themselves (the artificial nerve-endings), and then you need something to translate between the two because the former is used to having biological nerve endings and there's probably going to be some differences.
My point was Taylor has everything she needs to make the nerve-endings for touch, hearing, and sight since those are as heavily personalized as taste and smell are, but that she also has the translation software because while everything is reported to her from mechanical systems she, by all appearances even from her own perspective, still uses the context built up from her biological life-time.
If it even needs that level of translation. High enough resolution artificial eyes may not need anything, and if she can perfectly mimic the amount of nerve-endings humans have in their skin and how they plug into the central nervous system... *Shrug*
My main point is that sensory deprivation really just shouldn't be an issue.
Personal prediction, Lisa's new body will be limited to what Taylor had at the start of the story, before QA joined her Union Core. Instead, Lisa will be connected to her shard, and end up getting a different set of Fog abilities.
God yes please! I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but now I want a Gunnm/Worm cross more than anything!This was the first thing I thought of when I read this scene: (Gunnm pics)
More likely one of the subs, I think.
Dragon's server farms where she keeps her main consciousness don't have biological bits, but I'm pretty sure she has powers. You know, the thinker thing that lets her reverse engineer tinker stuff.So, a mental Model Lisa... without her power since i think that in canon the telepathic emitters/receptors of the shard need a biological support (the corona)...
Pretty sure he was. It's not like a Lung ramped up enough to have trouble speaking would have any trouble instantly killing a cornered person with baseline strength; he obviously wanted to play with his food here, giving her severe burns then tossing her in the Bay to die slowly.GLARING PROBLEM: Hair is one of the most combustible parts. So unless Lung was specifically making sure it wouldn't burn, it would be one of the first parts to go.
She'll panic and say something vicious and biting.My question is what she will do first if she's a brain in a box. Will she hit Tayler or thank her when she learns what she's become?
All I know is that one of Taylor's assignments as requested by QA is "proliferation." I can only imagine, at least in this context, Tt being converted to a Union Core somehow. Thoughts?
Both, while simultaneously laughing in relief and crying in horror.Will she hit Tayler or thank her when she learns what she's become?
If something were to make her second trigger, with QA right there looking on with interest, that might do it.This said, Lisa might end up a core, but a lot later in the story, if at all.
Both, while simultaneously laughing in relief and crying in horror.
Emotions are complicated already. Complicated situations make them moreso.
Suck it. That said:And then her entire world was fire and pain.
The next thing she could remember
Oh please, probability he got away approaches one, I'm sure.I hope they get Lung good since he took the time when escaping to torture Lisa.
