Man, if NEXUS made this walking, force field protected monstrosity, I would soil myself...

... I see a challenge... a very big challenge that has cost the machine vast resources.

edit: of course with the machine's insanities... it's probably a mining machine...

how about a giant walking wood chipper designed by gaia and Hecate that is used to grind up splicers and warmounts to make fertilizer for the preserves.

If I recall, one of the personalities believes Splicer Tech/bio-technology to be vile and a mockery of life and probably would not allow this.

oh my bad
I just reread the gaia description and he's right she hates splicer tech so I'm sorry for my thoughtlessness.
so I considered the thought of it being created by Lilith under the guise of gaia just to mess with the resistance and her sister.
seeing as nexus is crazy and they all have their own goals and all.
again simply an idea and is in no need of being used.

why not? once it's ground up, it's just like pretty much any other ground-up organic material.

Don't forget nexus is crazy and basic reasoning and logic don't apply when it comes to their individual obsessions.

I like this particular train of thought. A NEXUS Underground Civil War of sorts...

Because she would not want to poison up her precious preserves?

she's insane, not stupid.

she knows perfectly well it won't harm anything to grind up biotech.

she *may* want to not sprinkle the ground-up bits of biotech into her preserves, and she may not care in the slightest what it used to be. she may even take some grim satisfaction over purifying it by returning the resources to nature. or something else entirely.

ultimately, she's crazy, we're not, and we don't have anything even remotely close to a complete diagnosis of how she's crazy (and to take it a step further, she's not even really human, so who's to say if our concept of how she might be crazy even really applies), and we therefore are not generally equipped to make absolute statements about what she would or would not do.

she might act like that in your campaigns (or indeed, in many campaigns). there's no reason to presume that's the *only* way she could possibly react; in fact, if anything, it's fairly safe to say that we lack the state of mind that would allow us to follow her logic with any degree of accuracy, apart from situations where we are making rulings as a GM in our own campaigns (in which case we are of course entitled to make absolute statements about what any NPC will do).

So have the machine 'sanitize' the remains with plasma ovens, which reduces the offending biotech to ash....
