Valthax wouldn't even try to hide his reaction to this, turning around to face Sirale and Akkith again."Augmentations are quite useful though."
"I've grown used to the pain at this point. It's not worth risking anything. I am already teetering on the edge of being considered "unstable", like Test 6 was.."Sirale looks at Valthax.
"...Maybe we can even get you help fixing yours so they aren't so... cumbersome..."
"The technology wasn't designed with the organic's long-term survivability in mind.""Ah, I see... May I ask what that instability was?"
"The augmentations were 2.3% too large, designed for a male of her species, but placed on a female when no suitable male was able to be created.""I see... And was that more the body's immune system rejecting them, or stuff that overpowers the natural body such as pulling dangerous or lethal g-forces, or some sort of issue with power cooking the subject from inside, or...?"
"I think the term "sister" was what they called her relation to me. We were designed from the same strand taken from the original creature. I am unsure if that is supposed to warrant deep remorse on my end, but I merely feel disappointed to no longer have the prospect of someone who understands my pain.""Ah, I see... That is a shame... Such a waste..."
<Of course; just...thought for a second there were sentiences involved that weren't coral related for some reason.>"Alright.. fair enough."
"{I'm not the only one.. I believe I mentioned that there are many sentiences that side with Fluxxation.. The fleet has sufficient technology to use the Coral, but also to suppress the sentiences within it.}"
Pol nods, flying off a bit to just fly around nearby.Jack would then sort of hover his wrist slowly above the leg, then tapping a few things on the little HUD on his wrist.
"Hey Pol, you might wanna go somewhere else for a bit, this is going to be gross to watch.."
Tempor gives a nod towards Xazen despite it not being visible to them from beneath their wing.“Ah, when it is night I should stretch.”
“Thank you”<Of course; just...thought for a second there were sentiences involved that weren't coral related for some reason.>
Pol nods, flying off a bit to just fly around nearby.
Tempor gives a nod towards Xazen despite it not being visible to them from beneath their wing.
<<I'll tell you when it is night then.>>
“Clones with modifications from the original sample’s DNA to be easier on the eyes and better designed to handle augmentation. Our species was originally a brownish color, but jet black helped with uniformity and our size was increased to be able to bear more weapons on our frames.”"So were you cloned or bred then?"
“{Not organic ones besides the coral, no..}”<Of course; just...thought for a second there were sentiences involved that weren't coral related for some reason.>
"We were not brought to consciousness until fully grown. They accelerated our growth in specially controlled chambers, these chambers being where we were from the very beginning to when we were of full size. As a result of this, I am likely dozens of times younger than I appear. We were influenced genetically while growing, but not augmented until fully grown.""I see I see... Did they augment you after you were fully grown, or while you were growing? As I would imagine you could perhaps create a mechanical frame and then sort of shape an organic being around it..."
