Some of Oni's androids - like [[Shinatama]] - have human-like emotions and reactions, but it is important to note how the personality of such an android is built. Instead of a fake AI construct, an SLD's head contains synthetic tissue which mimics the functioning of a human brain. This brain-like structure is "imprinted" with "engrams" (some sort of elaborate encephalograms) coming from an actual human individual. In the case of Tankers, it is a wrestler who supplied the engrams for a whole army of androids. In [[Shinatama]]'s case, the engrams are [[Konoko]]'s, i.e., it is as if Shinatama's personality was cloned from Konoko's shortly after she arrived at the [[TCTF]]. Thus, initially, Shinatama is an image of Konoko as a child. Since that time, Shinatama and Konoko have been evolving separately as individuals, but they remain in close contact thanks to the "neural link" implanted by [[Griffin]]. The practical aspect of the "neural link" is that Konoko acts like an antenna, constantly sending to Shinatama some info about her surroundings and her internal status (both hers and the Daodan's). Shinatama (and Damocles) analyze this data in real time, and use it to provide Konoko with tactical instructions, and to inform (or misinform) Griffin and his team about the Daodan. But something else is happening as well: Shinatama sees through Konoko's eyes and receives upon her all the violence of Konoko's fighting experience, even though she started off as an innocent soul (a backup of child Konoko). It is as if she saw herself punching and shooting people, feeling all the pain and stress that come with it, unable to look away, unable to do anything to stop all this violence that is pouring at her. | |||
