I have told you before, they cannot connect to anything that does not utilize the proper Dust-based electronic signal loop.” “Maijima, my swords do not function in that manner. “How about this frequency? Or maybe if we hook one of your swords up?” As for self-harming Semblances, while I do not have access to databases, I believe I recall anecdotal mentions of Semblances which utilized self-harm as a form of catalyst for potent attacks.” While superficially similar to Quirks, I believe they are of a fundamentally different nature - the expression of ones’ soul versus a biological adaptation inherited from ones’ parents.

“Yeah, yeah, he should’ve learned how to use it without breaking himself by now. It is not his fault that his Quirk damages his body.” We can’t exactly throw you at Recovery Girl like, who wazzat kid? Midori?”

I’m still pissed Nedzu approved the classes in the first place. We could easily prototype modules to improve my ability to interact with your technology without undue risk to my systems.” “My body is built with a degree of modularity. You may understand your schematics, but I’m working from day one here, I don’t want to hurt you.” I can detect the signal, but not connect to or interpret it. It is my duty and my honor to attend UA Academy so that I may one day help as many people as possible.” Penny Polendina, arms outstretched against a grid and her body running through diagnostics, couldn’t physically respond - but she still verbally replied. The USJ trip was being kept a nice surprise, after all. “You’ve got a big day today, y’know that?” He asked her. Not that they could convince her of that. UA used plenty of robots that pretended to have their own personalities, but he and Nedzu had done the tests - she was the real deal, or so close any distinction was philosophical. True, fully sapient AI was still a dreams’ dream throughout the world. He couldn’t help but frown at the bad joke - Penny was a sweet girl and the most fascinating work of technology he’d ever seen, but just looking at her made him feel upset sometimes. He’d seen a lot of what the world had to offer, good and bad.īut his boss was something else entirely.

DEPONIA OFFENSIVE JOKE SOFTWARE
I'm not an expert, but I've studied machine and deep learning, and I'm fairly certain the creation of sapient software systems is something that will occur in my lifetime. I love Penny and her (not a) real girl dilema. I've been eyeing this thread for a while now, letting the word count build up.
