Character descriptions, Asking for help
@kelseyhusky Tell me about their recharge and maintenance setups. How do they get power back, and how does that impact their appearance? Likewise, how ar etheir chassis set up for repairs and upgrades?
re: Character descriptions, Asking for help
@orrery @kelseyhusky I was going to ask something along these lines--specifically their power processing. electric, organic/chemical, combustion, nuclear? changeable as situations warrant?

@troodon @orrery NFC is touch to touch between platforms and is used when the rest of the pack is supporting platforms in need. Data can also be exchanged, but since the transmission rate is slow, it is usually used for specific hex-codes that match up to certain emotional and physical status markers. (its also good for being a hard to intercept comm-channel, since the meaning is processed through pulse-width modulation)

@troodon @orrery Repairs, refits and construction is all handled in a dedicated deck of Gateway station. KA-33 calls it PlatformOps, BotOps, or HuskyOps. mAI usually calls it a mess. There are assembly platforms, diagnostic station, static- and dust-free clean rooms for circuit assembly and testing, access to KA-33's main core, and the central nexus for the Rho-tunnels. This is also where the Prime platforms (except for Axiom-Prime) hang out.

@kelseyhusky @orrery this is all really fascinating, and is making me think of doing a similar Q&A thing about Johmarr...
