Hmm . . .

Does he still count as barefoot/nude If he's virturally all nanomachine?

That depends on how paranoid the site admins are.

Interesting question, naked can be defined as an unclothed body, but then you have to define what the body is. Let's take the cyborg Vero from the series, for example. If we only define her biological body as her body, it is only a nude scene when you see her brain,the only thing that is left of it, if you count her cyborg parts/bionics, than she is naked with or without her fake fur (her fake fur could also be counted as part of the body).

Technically Amazo, but much nicer and friendlier. I like him!

To be fair to the robot, he wouldn't be the only entity in Esperanza that is borderline uncontainable, operating mostly on the goodwill of the honor system. Rayco kind of fits in that category too.

He's such a sweet boy. I'm eager to see where this goes~

This is proboly a dumb question, but has the “Extinction” been explained in the story yet? I really wanna understand this post apocalyptic world owo

Yep, it was explained in chapter 1 - which is currently unavailable because the site's been down for days, for some reason. The Extinction was basically mutually assured destruction between two world superpowers. It will be explained again in this story, don't worry.

Wow, that's very impressive artwork. I can't wait to hear this little guy's story.
Anyway, good luck with making the next page in your free time.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. :)

You're welcome, and the compliment I gave as well deserved you did a fantastic job.

Heh, reminds me of that cute scene from Superman:

"You let them handcuff you?"

"It wouldn't be much of a surrender if I resisted."

Delightfully annoying.

Yay! Love robobros!

I love that the rabbit is sitting on books as a booster seat.

He is very cute, pettable even! The bright blue eyes help with that. However may I inquire why people believe nanotech is somesort of doomsday device? Would a lattice of nanorobotics not would be rather easy to dissasemble?

Would a nano-machine lattice not be substantially weaker than any conventional atomic or molecular bond? It would be great for rapid re-configuration but terrible for structural integrity me thinks.

As to how he spied on the conversation, he's made of nanotech you goobs, he can probably stretch a nano-filament of himself into the room through cracks and crevaces in the room. Actively electrifying the walls could probably prevent that as machines that small would have very little by way of defensive capability by their lonesome.

I give a lot of thought to randomness like this, nanotechnology would have very clearly defined limits I think! What I am more curious about is where he will fit in Esperanza's legal framework, I am disappointed however that he is not a genuine Artificial Intelligence, oh well. At least he actively discussed the primary issue involved with powerful augmented individuals, synthetics or Artificial Intelligence in general, the element of trust being... unprovable essentially. Very cool touch.

I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Don't worry, a lot of those topics will be discussed along the story.

I for one welcome our new adorable android overlord! *salutes intensely while glancing at a nearby toaster nervously*

He seems harmless enough...

So he was a biological intelligence that became one with a mass of nanobots? Honestly, fascinating...brings to light that whole "Ship of Theseus" discussion

Lol the books XD
She truly is the shortest stack huh?

She's a smol dictator.

I quite like your exasperated “this is b******t!” expression in the fourth panel, Javi. Excellent way of cramming in dialogue and exposition while keeping it visually interesting and engaging.

I wish I could avoid these walls of text, but then every story would take a lot longer to draw.

After several stories set in the past (all of which I enjoyed!), it's good to see Nelson, Krolikova and Lazarus again. And will Tinkya Walpurgis show up?

Not this time, although we will see other familiar faces.

Thinking on "how he could hear them":

It's unlikely that they met physically with the subject whose name I don't immediately know (Lazarus?), but that doesn't deny second- or third- or (insert degrees of Kevin Bacon)-th degree contact transferring some form of nanobot sensor that operates on a faraday-bypassing methodology. (I doubt he compromised the faraday cage, as he's being cooperative.)

Alternately, there may be a secondary, disconnected body that has already hooked into the sensor networks and is using convenient cameras or microphones to listen in. He said nothing about seeing them, after all.

Or there could be some form of weird super-sensor he's using to see through everything in the way, all the way into their room, and read the sonic vibrations off the monitor.

I suspect that the camera isn't hacked, due to intentions of good behavior, so I doubt he's overriding the camera view with a simulation while standing just out-of-view for both them and us. (Even if it would be funny.)

I assume he would try to stop them destroying him through some kind of inherent programming or simple survival instinct, right?

Correct. People will most often try not to get killed.

Sounds kinda sarcastic when you put it like that but yeah XD

The city leader bunny has to sit on books :)
