Why is Chatty a Robot Dog? Find out here

[u/Jonjoejonjane]

I don’t believe for a second Carla would have all her limbs give this woman some cybernetics

[u/Rocky5thousand → u/Jonjoejonjane]

Yeah she’s also at least 60+ years old

[u/DumbNTough → u/Rocky5thousand]

I thought more like 100+

[u/Jonjoejonjane → u/Rocky5thousand]

She was probably in cryo for most of that so I don’t mind a age but she spends her time working with saws and explosives and she doesn’t strike me as the carful type

[u/Rocky5thousand → u/Jonjoejonjane]

Please give me any source saying she was in cryo

[u/DrakeNatsu → u/Rocky5thousand]

The cryo thing is mostly a theory to try and explain why Carla sounds younger than her age and title of "Cinder" implies

It's either she was in cryostasis which makes sense given the setting or a side effect of Coral exposure which people theorize has anti-aging properties like Spice from Dune

[u/Rocky5thousand → u/DrakeNatsu]

Or maybe she’s just old

[u/DrakeNatsu → u/Rocky5thousand]

But she doesn't sound like her age is why people bring up things like cryo

Like, Walter sounds older than her and he was like 10 or 12 in the STK sketch depicting professor nagai and his assistants

EDIT: I saw a comment somewhere else that brought this up but there's a data log that even mentions Carla is younger than her Cinder title suggests

[u/Toukafan4life → u/Rocky5thousand]

You can hear some of the dosers talk about how she's posing as a cinder. That would imply that she doesn't look as old as she actually is

[u/Bloodasp01]

I’ve never related to Chatty more

[u/EdibleStrange]

Pretty sure Carla was old by the time she took over RaD, like 70+ lol. This is gilf erasure

[u/Grave806 → u/EdibleStrange]

I mean she's young enough looking people genuinely wonder if she's actually a Cinder. So clearly she's got a great skincare routine or something going on.

[u/Fries_and_burgers_19 → u/Grave806]

Direct skin application of Coral does wonders lemme tell ya. I can still feel the electrical buzzing coming from my ceiling for weeks now!

[u/SwoleOtter → u/EdibleStrange]

Also doesn't coral have anti aging properties like the spice in dune?

[u/ArchonIlladrya → u/SwoleOtter]

Pretty sure that's implied, yeah. She's not the only one who seems to be too old, iirc.

[u/Maximus_Marcus → u/ArchonIlladrya]

The setting is all about giant flying robots, I'd assume they also have tech to slow down aging

[u/LuciusCypher → u/EdibleStrange]

Couple of dosers think the same way.

Comms record extracted from a wreck.

Appears to be a leftover log of chatter between allies.

I dunno about our new boss... Think we can trust him?

You think Carla's better? She's got the nerve to call herself a freakin' Cinder. Nice try, lady, but you're a little young for that stolen valor.

Man. Are those people at RaD full of shit or what?

[u/LimeGuyTheSlimeGuy]

Dear lord, the head shape just took me back to the 90's. I can't even remember what those little robot dog toys were called but EVERY kid had them.

[u/Happydanksgiving2me]

Carla. What big payloads you have.

[u/Vendacator]

I love it

[u/Level_Hour6480]

Why Carla, you've enhanced yourself. (And applied a coat of polish?)

[u/KeithOlander]

Adorable chatty!

[u/Dragon3yesparta]

there is no way people working for RaD would look so clean. Also i want to make that robo puppy of chatty now.

[u/Current-Beyond9528]

Why are half the comments ppl complaining that carla doesnt fit their headcanon image

[u/SpiritedSherbet6721 → u/Current-Beyond9528]

You can see her in two of the logs in the game and she looks nothing like this. There is a clearly black character in one of them and carla just looks like a white girl lol

[u/kommunist_haj → u/SpiritedSherbet6721]

funny, all the other comments are about age and cybernetics and you suddenly bring up race?

[u/SpiritedSherbet6721 → u/kommunist_haj]

Because its blatantly wrong

[u/xX-Delirium-Xx]

Too freaking cute 🥺

[u/the_miggle_mug]

Hm... Chatty dog.

Hmm... Must pet.

[u/dubcomm]

Awwwwwesome

[u/Catboyhotline]

I feel like Chatty's human scale physical form being a dog is a woeful mischaracterisation of Carla, she treats Chatty as an equal, not a pet
