My limbs are entirely mechanical, though their covering does report the sensations of 'skin.' My body is not only a tool for my brain, but it's protection as well. My strength is, well, probably what humans would consider industrial-grade, while my durability is likewise, in places. In answering how alike I am to an organic humanoid, you must understand that my body is designed to emulate that particular form. I have synthetic organs, skin, muscles. Aside from my limbs and my skeleton, my body is a synthetic recreation of a human body. I can breathe, eat, drink, et cetera. This aspect of my design is not even particularly unique, though I am one of the few who imitates a humanoid with synthetic flesh."<br/><br/>She paused, turning to press the button which opened the door to the observation gallery. It was empty. She'd chosen one that would have the optimal view, and which wouldn't likely be occupied.<br/><br/>"There is a bar here for entertaining..." she said, pointing it out, "if you'd like something."<br/><br/>She presumed that them having drinks would not violate any inboard protocol.<br/><br/>"In regard to pain," she said, "pain is not something for which the body has receptors. Instead it is a brain function, and my brain does not possess a natural instinct for avoiding injury, because injury is something that may not be something that concerns me, depending on my body. However, I can tell the difference between feeling a sensation like hot or cold and feeling what you'd call burning or freezing. I can, however, feel pleasure, as I do have all the feelings that make some things preferential to others, and certain sensations are naturally more interesting than others."   <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>(So, she does have synthetic skin, and the gaps in her 'limb pieces' aren't like the sample picture?)<br/><br/>"I expected as much, from what you have said so far, and now I feel an even greater burden to ensure that the signing of these grand treaties goes smoothly. Cellular regeneration can cure almost any physical damage we suffer short of brain damage or death, but the therapies do not work for everyone, hence the need for prosthetics. Those unfortunate who suffer damage beyond what a prosthesis can replace are forever crippled, and even a fraction of the knowledge your people must possess in that field would be a priceless treasure to our medical establishments."<br/><br/>At the observation deck. "Since it was the end goal of our journey, I believe drinks would definitely be in order." Moving to the indicated bar, he scanned the various bottles and jars quickly. "Hopefully, the labels here are the same as they are back home - do you have a preference as to what you would like?"
