>>48704993Virgil’s pretty cute (and funny as some other threads would say) and her fan base’s small enough that it’s good for getting a response from her if you’re into that and is in the right time zone for live. Her stuff can get suggestive at times though if you’re not a fan of that
>earsI don’t think I ever decided on whether original palkyries have human ears in addition to their possum ones. Maybe I’ll keep that a secret! Belyms have four ears though since they’re a product of deliberate engineering. I think they probably will inherit pointy ears from the elves. I thought about making them better at locating the source of sound in 3D environment due to the additional ears but it seems redundant when the possum ears can probably turn to do the same
>radiation sicknessI think it would depend a lot on the source and intensity of the radiation as well as how strong the nanomachines are. If it’s indirect irradiation like inhaling/ingesting radioactive fallout then nanomachines or even simpler substance (like iodine tablets IRL) can bind with them so that they’ll not be absorbed by the body and just be removed from the person via natural means. If the body get hit directly by radiation then nanomachines and other genetic engineering methods should still be able to repair most of the cellular damage before and during the latent period where the body’s still somewhat functional. If the radiation’s very strong (10 Gy seems to be the point where you no longer get a latent period and just straight to nervous system damage and melting organs) then I don’t think nanomachines can do much (unless they can do everything) and things like organ transplant and/or cybernetics will be needed to maintain bodily functions. Putting the patients in cryogenic sleep should extend the treatment period almost indefinitely but I imagine those don’t come cheap so maybe only individuals deemed valuable enough would get those
