WCDT Strips 3486 to 3490 (22 to 26 May 2017)

There are probably upper limits to the level of augmentation possible for humans. 'Six Million Dollar Man' (sensory or limb replacement therapy) is certainly going to be possible. However 'Ghost i the Shell' (a brain as the CPU of a humanoid chassis) probably is not if only due to the problems of nutrient provision for the brain-in-a-jar. From what Pintsize said to Claire about humans 'body-swapping' one day, I suspect that someone is working on that technology but I think that it would take a very special personality to take that up
FWIW, my theory is that Hannelore is a lot like the BSG2003 humanform Cylons. She's biological but has a computer-augmented brain and possibly electro-mechanically-augmented limbs. She may have been 'grown' in vitro too, purely because I can't see Beatrice being willing to go through a pregnancy or trusting anyone else with it.
Storel:
What I want to know is what idiot designed her chassis to have a detachable butt in the first place! What purpose could that possibly serve?

Bollthorn:

Killspree:
I imagine a generic/universal style chassis could change out butts and chest sections for body customization along with shorter or longer arms and legs and perhaps a adjustable spine for lengthening the torso could be quite plausible.
It would probably have a better performance than a basic unit like May's (think of used clunker you got on Craigs list) and maybe classified as a Stage II body(for example mom's minivan or a suv). From there you move up to a even better Stage III body that's build to your preferences( think luxury sedan). Then you could move on to the Stage IV's that are high performance (sports car) and the Stage V's like Bubble's combat chassis.(Milspec armored vechile of your choice)

I'm informed (as I stay far away from that ilk, myself) that in some unpleasant corners of the internet, "I identify as an attack helicopter" is a semi-common joke/swipe/dismissal of those with any sort of dysphoria.
In QC, however, I can imagine it being a perfectly sincere and legitimate statement. (Heck, look at May.)
