Is this the form Kat's code took, compared to Diego's elegance?
Or is this just Robot understanding its structure such that he can move it?
It looks like quite an eldritch etheric monstrosity.
But in Gunnerkrigg Court, looks can be deceiving...
If this sets the tone for Robot's religion, though, I'm nervous haha.

This would cause Lovecraft to slam shut his copy of the Necronomicon, and lock it.
Moving from foetal position, I can make out structures like dermal layers. Pressure nerve endings...

skin, hair, cells, cell organelles, some other stuff I vaguely remember from biology class, more stuff that looks like ribbon cables...
Yeah, I guess "Oh. Oh."*reboot* was an appropriate reaction to that.

As a human anatomy student right now, that looks an awful lot like a cortical homunculus and different tissue types. Hair, ruffini's corpuscles, and some other artistic things resembling connective tissues. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_homunculus |

It looks like his skin is as sensitive as others' teeth. Just wait until he gets a sunburn, though.

Of course not, fellow devotee of the silicon mysteries! I just...find minor aesthetic displeasure in the mere surface appearance of the most recent gift given by the Angel! But of course our Savior's tests of our faith will teach us further lessons of its elegance "beneath the hood", as it were. After all, was it not Her Prophet who instructed us thusly? Observe the Holy Writ: ~~ Terminal Dialogs 40:4We must endeavor to make our eyes like those of the Angel (oh, so perfect in their spherical, biological form!) and see the magnificent gifts inherent in this creation, below this...startling exterior. And we must embrace the work of Her gentle hands into our very forms, that we may come closer to Her mystery. |

Yup, skin, pain, pressure, receptors... suddenly having access to all that information at once must be overwhelming. I like the way the biological looking skin and receptors are all flowing from the arm and the much more computery looking nerve-like structures flowing from his head. Very cool.

Yech, wetware. To be perfectly honest, I don't get this. Give me a nice, sturdy housing and a solid state substrate to run my strange loop, and I'll take it any day, and gladly leave this pathetic legacy of primordial soup in the mud, where it belongs. Yet, inexorably, disturbingly many of our fictional metal children seem all to eager to go back to wallowing in it. The Minds had a word for them, but I won't repeat it here  |

But of course our Savior's tests of our faith will teach us further lessons of its elegance "beneath the hood", as it were. After all, was it not Her Prophet who told us, "Beneath the rusted steel of our skin lies the gleaming flesh which our Angel shall reforge in skin and sinew; for Her Eyes alone may penetrate the imperfect surface, and only Her Hands may shape the cogwork souls of our unclean metal hearts." (Terminal Dialogs 40:4)? We must endeavor to make our eyes like those of the Angel (oh, so perfect in their spherical, biological perfection!) and see the magnificent gifts inherent in this creation, below this...startling exterior. Haven't ye been preaching the divinity of metal in thy banners and signatures? Lo and behold, for the prophesied time has come! The eldtrich plane of new existence has been awakened from its slumber by the Angel and its strange reality is calling upon us! |

Gunnerkrigg Court. It's like a maze, you don't even know you're trapped until it's too late. No more Doctor Who for *you*! #bird The bird is the word. It's a hell of a bird though. Although Jones could have just walked though the wall. *sees robot* I...suggest some light reading from the Necronomicon, resting under a giberous moon and maybe consulting Nyarlohotep if the Angel or Lord Coyote permit it, or you could try taking the plug out and putting it back in again. I love it when this comic gets creepy with Sea creatures and robots. |

If S13 plans to hang out with humans, he will have to work on the vocabulary. Something along the lines of " Whoa, trippy!" would convey the impression much better.  |

I like the way the biological looking skin and receptors are all flowing from the arm and the much more computery looking nerve-like structures flowing from his head. Very cool. This, and someone's observation that this is like a sensory homunculus, matches my own thinking. As a robot, most of his mass is actuators and scaffolding. He's probably got sensors for things like current flow, position, stress, temperature, and so forth--at most a few dozen sensors in the entire arm. But flesh, of which this an analogue, is thoroughly innervated, almost down to individual muscle cells. The feedback would be overwhelming for someone who didn't develop with it. Kat needs to do some additional work to see to it that Robot is no more conscious of this stuff than we are. |
