The Hecatonchires (“one hundred hands”) system is an octopus-like “wired brain” system with a nearly limitless number of I/O ports. As the name implies, it can control nearly a hundred “arms” separately and simultaneously. You can attach multiple ears to the system, and it will be able to hear and comprehend the input from each one.

“Look close, listen close, think hard. After all, I’ve got eight eyes and a whole five and a half pounds of brain.”
