Rikki: "You know how you can get like quick-change mounts for cyberlimb wrists and ankles, so you can swap out hand and foot modules?"

Tally: "They have those for the whole arm and leg too."

Rikki: "So I'm wondering, how long before you can get a quick-change waist?"

Bridge: "Why not just get mounts for both legs?"

Rikki: "Because I don't just want to swap out leg models, I want to swap out legs entirely for a mermaid tail."

Ari: "Whoa. That is cryochilled."

Sherri: "How would you take a shit?"

Rikki: "I dunno, maybe you could rig up something like a colostomy bag? Instead of ever having to go to the bathroom again, every once in awhile you just open a panel, take out a bag, throw it away, and put in a fresh bag?"

Bridge: "You could do a snake tail too, like those fantasy creatures in that one braindance. Nagas, or whatever?"

Ari: "Robot horse body too, be a centaur."

Tally: "I know a guy at NovelTech. Maybe I should get them on the phone..."

What if I WANT to know? What if I want the cyborg girl railing me to have a translucent cybercock with a chrome-plated armature inside and electric blue light panels. Ever think about that?

Reminder that the "teleporter problem" isn't a problem. Going through a teleporter/star trek transporter, or being cloned or uploaded, does not "kill you and replace you with a copy that only thinks it's you".

That idea is based on a seemingly-intuitive but in fact completely wrong idea about how consciousness works. You already "die and get replaced" every ~20-30 seconds, and have been for as long as you've lived.

The science.

If I was one of these I wouldn’t have a cold right now.

I wouldn’t have to deal with itchy mosquito bites if I’d been uploaded into a robot body.

C’mon, scientists, get on with it.
