Will SOMEONE please explain to my lead-brained, rust-ridden, overclocked low priority glitch of an excuse for a wingmate that HUMANS NEED TO EAT?!

I am NOT towing you if you go into stasis-lock again, understand? Doing it in zero-g was bad enough, but this is just STUPID.

IF THE BODY IS MADE OF THESE PROTEINS, THEN IT CAN DRAW ON OTHER AREAS OF THE BODY TO REPAIR DAMAGE.

You know, I...I'm almost certain humans don't work that way. Even in our real bodies, that sort of thing would be a bad idea. Not that that's ever stopped you, moron.

... IT HAS ALWAYS SERVED ME IN THE PAST.

Yes, until you wore yourself down to the point of collapse, leaving WHO to requisition new parts and fix you up?

Ah yes, I recall now. That was always MY job.

[hailmegatron.livejournal.com]

YES. YOU'RE MY WINGMATE.

[lossofface.livejournal.com]

...Yes, that's true.

HOWEVER, that's not going to work here. I can't just go cut some human's legs off and weld them onto your knees; organic bodies don't work like that. Your choices are to either tend to yourself the human way, WHICH INCLUDES EATING, or allow yourself to perish. I'm trying my best to keep you functioning, but short of wrestling you down and forcing food down your throat, persuasion is the best I can do.

That's not an invitation to continue trying my patience until I snap, by the way.

Actually, they do work that way.

But that raises the question: if you eat your own body to replace the missing bits, what have you actually accomplished?
