[32.00//Locked to Tachikoma] Intel

[psychoticracer]

What was that thing's name... Tachy... Tachikoma?

Yeah. Tachikoma.

You worked with Batou. Yes? Said he was your commander.

And you're a robot. But he's a cyborg.

What's the difference?

Well, that question has a lot of philosophical implications, but I'll just give you the physical differences. A robot is an artificially created intelligence, in some sort of body. It doesn't truly have a human soul, not matter how human it might act (although some argue that the more self-aware such an intelligence becomes, the closer it gets to being human). On the other hand, a cyborg is a living human augmented with mechanical parts. Sometimes it's just a brain inside a mechanical body!

Fascinating.

[No, really.]

And what kind of body do you have, then.

[attachikoma]

I am a walker/tankette, similar in appearance to the spider!

**A spider. Spiders came in ALL sizes back home. As for walker or tankette... Erol didn't know the terms but he had a nasty feeling that this thing was shaping up to be a sentient Blast Bot. Maybe, just maybe it was in the smaller "tazer-head" category, but he doubted they were that lucky**

How big are we talking?
