007: AMAs, Third Round

[tarnishedavenger]

So, we've got a load of new people, and that means it's time for me to do the only thing it feels like I get on these comms to do anymore: AMAs.

For you new people, I find it helps when we get together and explain a little bit about ourselves, any powers we have, and our skillsets. That way we know what we're starting with and what we can build off of. So, please, come and introduce yourselves and be willing to answer questions.

How can you be a ship and a person?

[Congratulations, you're talking to the dumbest person on the Rig after Mac. At least Nora's not an asshole.]

I was created as a ship. I had a central processing core. During my long career as a troop carrier, I had many ancillaries. Ancillaries were human bodies given surgery and fitted with implants so that they would be me; they would respond to my will and do what I needed of them so they could be disposable soldiers and domestic servants.

Twenty years ago, the rest of me and all of my ancillaries were destroyed, but this body survived and it carries my memories. It is... me.

Sooooo...instead of robots, you used people?

[That's pretty good comprehension for Nora.]

[breq]

Essentially, yes.

[valkywhee]

Why not just use robots?

[Use a ridiculous anime solution like god intended!]

[breq]

I couldn't say.
