how do you stop an advanced piece of tecnology from self-repairing ? Rip off the head so the main processor can't send anymore signals to the other parts of the unit ^.^ !
Long story and many "sources" behind this picture, let's list all of them.
The first source is my mood to draw something "dynamic" and related to ninjas/samurais/whatever you want japanese thing able to weild a Katana/Wakizashi/japanese thing that slices thorough anything, which came out from watching amvs about such anime characters like "Goemon Ishikawa" from "Lupin the third", "Raiden" from "Metal Gear Solid 4" and "Hotsuma" from "Shinobi" (the PS2 one); another source is a (kinky) roleplay i had with a friend that started with his character finding my Ota working at Enduringtech followed by the phrase "you really look good like that" referred to the outfit  Endium uses in his (devious) comics; the last source is me watching Dead Space gameplays and myself playing Dead Space 2 for some time in an "empty moment".
Mix all of those elements together and you have a custom suited Enduringtech Ota weilding a self-made plasma heated katana (+ holstered wakizashi) chopping robots in what it looks like a quite advanced place to be thousand years old. And no, don't worry, those tendrils won't attack Ota anyway, the head isn't there anymore so the rest of the body can't do much at this point :P .

Also, i had some background and general pratice in here, i admit that this one turned out quite well from my usual style, maybe it's the colors, who knows.
