Quote:I would be genuinely shocked if there was a real world material that was strong enough to handle that kind of impact using a volume small enough to fit inside what looks like a normal human arm.
It would if Miyu's skeleton was designed to absorb higher pressures. But I would say that even Chobham armor would be defeated at those pressures.
Quote:The hardware will be fairly simple, actually - the MIYU infiltration type was a prototype for the YUI bodyguard series. Yuis aren't nearly as smart, but the physical hardware is mostly the same. A lot of that expense I mentioned comes from cramming a computer small enough to run a human-complexity neural net into a space small enough to fit inside a ribcage, not to mention programming one in the first place - the process of getting a stable 'personality' is just too hit-and-miss at this stage in the technology to allow mass production.
Unless they have the parts on hand to create a new unit, it's gonna be longer than 3 months.
Quote:-_-;;; Fortunately, no.
Did the campus cameras record where the "flashing" took place? ^^
Quote:...yes. Actually, it's entirely possible that the only difference Artemis would have would be the ability to move independantly rather than just sitting in orbit.
No kidding... anyone else who figures that since Artemis is just possessing an already-extant object now and then, that is in fact NOT its intense-love-or-hatred kaiju form? And is alarmed at the mere thought?
It's not as though that weren't plenty, after all.

Given that this was the guys' dorm ... *snicker* did N!Tate just lose his living quarters due to an oh so unfortunate accident? *we're looking at you, Nagi*
That won't happen until Mashiro-chan has had a chance to get annoyed about the fact that the HiME-sentai's bodyguard routine is putting them places they shouldn't be. Like boys' dorms.
A long line of cartoon series will tell you that the heroes always win, that property damage and physical injury mysteriously vanish by the end of the commercial break, and that nobody ever thinks to track the cute schoolgirl in the gaudy rhinestones back to where she lives.
Don't you beeeee-lieve it!
The footage that news chopper caught of the battle against the Ecchi Monster never got distributed worldwide the way it probably deserved - Searrs' work, no doubt - but the fact that it was going out live to the local station meant that the Festival we ended up having took place in full public view of the city of Fuuka. When I got a chance to see it later, I decided that it had definitely been a good omen for the future.
The way it had attacked Takumi and Akira's room sent everything in the room tumbling out along with its outer structure, and gave the Orphan a perfect chance to snag both of the occupants casually out of the air. It brought them both up to its eyes for a moment, then added another couple of tentacles to the ones it had wrapped around Mai's chest and left hip and tossed its male prisoner carelessly away.
Needless to say, doing something like that in front of the gentleman's loving sister was a bit of a tactical error on the monster's part.
The intensity of the column of fire that erupted around her body was such that the Orphan reeled back in pain after being abruptly relieved of the last fifteen feet or so of four of its tentacles, but, given the difference in circumstances, it was hardly a surprise to see it gutter out a split second later as she lunged into motion towards Takumi's falling form.
The thing about being kaiju-sized is that, although it greatly amplifies your ability to dish out and endure damage, it tends to make you kinda conspicuous.
This is an especially deleterious side affect when it results in your attracting the attention of a HiME passionately interested in your painful and immediate termination... even if they didn't posess motivations at the level of the loss of one of five remaining heirlooms of a beloved mother, or the consumption of an extremely personal garment while said article was still being worn.
Frankly, between one Child who specialized in - forgive me - the bondage of her opponents to any convenient piece of landscape and another who was equally suited to putting truly impressive holes through whatever was stupid enough to hold still long enough to get hit, it's really rather surprising that the critter lasted as long as it did. Probably this was due to its attempting to flee, but - having caught her brother and dropped him in a place of relative safety - Mai's choice to return and demonstrate the offensive uses of a forcefield like hers (rather like it had run into a flaming bowling ball built to scale that had been thrown in the opposite direction from its flight) was simply the icing on the cake.
Akira would later take great pleasure in increasing the three ladies' accquaintance with the many adoring fans they gathered as a direct result of the incident - something to do with a sketchbook she'd never been able to find, I understand.
Damn you, Hallstrom. That experiment with voice is all your fault.
Ja, -n
