Who is Emily Azuma?
hedgie:
IIRC, all save one of the Terminators in the series were the flesh over metal type. Although, the "good" one was pretty insistent about being called a cyborg rather than a robot.
BenRG:
IMO, the only reason why the Terminators were referred to as 'cybernetic organisms' was because James Cameron didn't know what a cyborg was.
In the strictest terms, the -800 (Arnie) and -900 (Summer Glau) series were both bio-mimetic androids with the 900s having a lot more effort put into their ability to mimic biological processes. However, in general, their biological parts were just camouflage without which they could function just fine for prolonged periods.
JimC:
Studies of aspects of Emily Azuma's mental development as a small child were used in research leading the development of the emergent AI mentality. As a result the AI mind incorporates aspects of Emily's then undiagnosed synesthesia.
(yeah, I know timescales are a little rocky viz a viz Station's involvement in Hannelore's childhood)
The spookybot groupmind discussed (over a samovar of tea) whether there should be work done to eliminate this synesthesia from the AI mind type, but decided:
"Hey, tea is cheap and unicorns are cool, so no problem"
Case:

There was this campy SF-flick in '77 about a bunch of plucky galactic Rebels hunted by an evil Cyborg ...
HiFranc:
I have can point to something that makes your theory less likely - I doubt that AI can access the magic of the ancients. In fact we have only seen two other members of the cast access Eldritch Runes and they were human.
The posts about autism has got me wondering - what if she or her parents appealed to the Elder Gods to compensate for the lack of empathy? Remember that she manifested Faye's fear as a joke when they visited her. She was in no position to know what Faye thought. We wrote it off as a coincidence but the police officer is another one.
Actually, I now have a second theory: What if, instead of being autistic, she's a telepath? Maybe her trip through Bubble's mind taught her how to adjust her ability to AI minds?
