Comment on Mashina’s Guardia – Page 3 by Schmedderling

Ratbat: So he’s reacting to the Aphel and is converting her now so the cancer doesn’t take her? Is that why he’s being a tad forward?
I’m confused as to why he would choose her after only sensing her aphel and know nothing about her (although her probably learned something from concentration on her aphel). I guess it seems “logical” to him and that’s why he’s doing this.

Jaylaw: I had forgotten about the baby until now. xD
I think I remember Ratbat mentioning that they’d convert the baby into a proto-Gaurdia and that since proto-Gaurdia can still age they’d let her grow up before a Machina would choose her. You do raise a really good point of why a Machina would choose a Gaurdia if he preferred the Machina way of thinking.

I recall asking Ratbat this sort of question myself. As I understand it, the conversion process kills babies. So any pregnant woman carrying a baby girl is allowed to carry it to term, and is converted once the child is born. If the baby is male, then the woman is converted regardless, and bye bye baby. Traditional Machina (G1) are somewhat cold, logical and proud. They have little tolerance of males from other species, male humans especially. I assume male children, like male adults, would be left to take their chances after such raids for womenfolk. One or two Machina might radio a nearby settlement as a ‘noble’ gesture…

It says in the glossary that by interacting sexually with their Guardia, the Machina gain insight into that woman’s history, her emotions and her perspective on life and so on. In the process, they themselves become more humane; this is part of their personal evolution. As to what the Machina do with female babies and young children, presumably we shall find out in this particular comic, since Lyron rescued a female baby from the Devils.

But what do the general population make of those Machina who have evolved by pairing… and who are now emotive, intuitive, able to comprehend a joke… different? If the average Machina prefers a logical ‘perfect order’ would this not put others off the idea of acquiring a Guardia mate? Especially if – horrors! – such a pairing might result in their attaining qualities comparable to human males!

Perhaps the Machina have the luxury of a choice, assuming a mech could ‘warp-digivolve’ a human child or baby into an adult Guardia. The resulting female would be unlikely to have fully developed emotions, to say nothing of having no life experiences outside the confines of ‘Sky Texas’ … much like Rendivi, perhaps. In this way the mech could satisfy his urges, and father True Mashina (G2), without being changed too much psychologically.

You’ve shown us Lyron and Panchun; an unlikely cute couple (Yes Lyron, you ARE a couple!). It’s fairly clear that *something* might happen between them (and I want something cool to happen). But it’s not enough to know that it could happen. I’m a nosy parker and I want to know HOW. If I like a movie on DVD I watch the special features to get some extra background. A little science adds extra interest and helps the story seem that more credible. (On my part that includes stuff on the slugapedes and armordons as well as adorable Squibble Calamansi)

Other blog? I don’t believe I’ve heard about this before…

I’m actually taking a rather big interest in it. Normally, no one ever goes all the way to work out actual mechanics for it happening. The mech/guardia thing is a nice twist on the subject, so I’m rather glad that we’re now getting into Edenworld itself to see how things play out.

And he got to know her name, only by examining her APHEL?
Moreover, what happens if they catch a pregnant woman?
What if the child born is a boy? Or if the woman they catch has small children with her?
Do they leave the boys there or do they pass them to other humans or some sargons?
(The boy children. Obviously girls will be taken to sky texas)

\s\andraman: That one robot guy is there because the wet blonde is his confirmed mate choice. She’s sick however, full of cancer from prolonged radiation in the desert, the big robot is reacting to her APHEL. He knows her name because he’s been concentrating on her for a while and likes her. Mashina use the girls’ original language to communicate with them, so the girls understand, but the sight of Mashina supersedes rational thought right now.

Yeah, that “mm, pretty” panel made me laugh, even though I feel bad for the girl. Hopefully it won’t turn out badly for her and her friend in the end.

And hopefully that lab tech mech realizes how lucky he is to not get a foot in the face.

If a robot of that size came toward me and mumbles “Mmmm, pretty.” Expect the same reaction but with swearing and throwing things.

I like how the girl is portrayed as the athletic of the two. The way I see it, the girl with the scar on her rib is the stronger while the one with freckles is weaker. I don’t know why I got that impression.
