I think she means exactly what she said and if it sounded awkward it's because Kat is an awkward person.

Actually, it's a quirk among a certain cross-section of engineering types in the parts of the South, most of the Midlands and pretty much all of Northern England to chop the "al" off words like "mechanical" and "electrical". So...

But she did give him a finger that fixes itself.

So religion isn't being rejected so much as upgraded... Kat help us all.

she has blessed us with self maintaining limbs, who is left to say she will not give us more.

I don't know if this scene is beautiful or creepy.

Beautiful because it indeed is.

Creepy because we know the context, and who he is talking to.

Damn.

In retrospect, creating life probably wasn't great for Kat's not-being-worshipped prospects.

I wonder if her Etheric self is a projection from the robots worship, since zimmy didn't see it until after she started being robot's angel

Man, feeling for the first time ever must seem so weird.

Writer, or something. And... a button? 🖲️

Oh yeah, this is reminding me that Limb-Sensation Fascination is a trope. Kinda forgot about that one; this fits pretty squarely into it, doesn't it?

Well, I added it to the page. Not entirely sure if it should be crosswicked on the character page or the main trope list...

Well, on balance, I think he went with the right label. And, the first time for anything is usually the most intensely mindbending experience it'll ever be.

And here's a demonstration of why Tom is such a great writer. He gets how stuff works.

Is Robot just reliving the event in his mind? Or does the art in the panels show him going, "This 'pain' is fascinating. I MUST STUDY IT FURTHER" <breaks same finger in a different spot>

Fawriel Since: Jan, 2001
#23197: Dec 14th 2015 at 7:46:24 AM

Reasonably sure that's a flashback to illustrate his narration.

Adannor Since: May, 2010
#23198: Dec 14th 2015 at 8:51:02 AM

His finger is bandaged in the panels though. So I'm pretty sure that's him poking the injured finger into surfaces to test new sensations right now.

So yeah. He's a liiiiittle crazy.

All this religion stuff has obviously been a Red Herring. The ACTUAL twist of the story is that Robot will start a BDSM club for robots.

Oh, I messed up. Not sure to what extent he's doing this on purpose, but, yeah.
