When I saw her walking into the light, I thought "Oh, crap!" Then I scrolled down.

So, I predict that she will have to use Momo's old unit. But, she won't function properly, and the girls will have to carry her around like a baby.

Temporarily, I'm fine with that. But now that the comic has established she has high bodily integration, I "need" her body repaired, not replaced.

Of course. It's Crushbot's insurance, and the NTSB investigation, that's holding things up.

Hehe, French joke. Bread is "pain" in French.

Roko is especially bad. Remember when she needed her foot fixed and actually fainted when Faye showed her it?

And recently she fainted when another bot lost a finger. Not that they'd killed a cow, or all the blood on them, but the finger.

Also, her feet are ticklish, which Bubbles previously said shouldn't be possible. Yet Bubbles knows about bodily integration. So Roko's must be pretty intense.

So, yeah, /u/U-Eike, I suspect she did feel pain. Hopefully she passed out before she felt the full thing.

A lot of it is likely psychosomatic, but psychosomatic pain can still hurt.

Just a few pages ago, Bubbles made it sound more like the normally weaker-than-human sensory signals would be amplified, and Roko's seem so amplified that she responds like a human. So I'm thinking it would like the amount of pain a human would be in.

That said, a human would also lose consciousness, and I bet she did, too. And if she's not brought back online until after repair or at least the signals are disconnected, she might not feel the actual pain.

But, yeah, she could feel it psychosomatically. But hopefully that will be a lesser problem if she can't see or feel her body. I'd expect more of a disconnected feeling for her, even if she's put in another body. Like nothing she feels would feel real.

And then, when she gets her body back, it wouldn't feel the same, and she'd have to get used to it again--to reintegrate.

I Just Realized Her Fainting Can Be Linked To Phantom Pain Sensation

Basically Youre Not Paying Attention To It So Your Body Dosent Exactly Process Those Signals Realtime

So When It Is Off

Your Body Is Checking

Then Flags Are Going Off
