your pretty much on the money as far as it happens. Human women in this story posess a 2nd set of DNA called catalys DNA and this is what tells the body to grow into a mecha instead of a human at the end of puberty. If mashine DNA isnt introduced into the girls body before the end of puberty or (before age 23), then she will stay human forever.

Its extreamly rare for 2 male mashina to be compatible at the same time to the same woman. A persons physicle APHEL is usually pretty unique and thus prevents the doubbling up of males on females. However, in the one case it happend, both males shared the one female equally.

To quote a favorite line from a certain Pixar, “I have just met you and I love you.”

So mating or becoming a Gardia can cure cancer? Can it also cure blindness or other disabilities?

Just a touch confused about the steps to becoming a Gardia. Here is what I think I understand. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

First enlargement. Then there a induction into Mashine society where a Mashine will choose one of the women to be his mate. Then come the wooing and hopefully mating? Just not sure when it becomes absolutely nescessary for a girl to have to mate in order to preserve her life.

Secondly, what happens when two Mashine choose the same girl? Robo-brawl?

basicly yes, Alot of human women are ticked off about what the mashina have been doing for the last 80 years. Opinions are mixed and complicated however in the current state of the world. The mashina males pamper the heck out of thos girls when they turn them into guardias in part to make amends for the horrible past history they shared. The mashina really do love their females, but this comes at a huge cost to the human race. Mashina have no use for human males who are cast to the wayside and this has caused a severe decline in human birth. the Human race will go extinct without the human women the mashina have stolen, and the mecha will NEVER give thos women back.

the basic delema is, That much of the human race was nomadic and unequal amung the sexes. the harsh desert lands provided little food and life spans were not as good as the hayday of the zeboim age. Guardias and captured catalyst humans alike have differing opinions on what have happend to them because they live incredibly good lives under the mashinas care. some women consider Apothesis the price of a hot bath and a good meal while other women consider immortality and relocation a huge violation of their religious creed. in most human religions, the mashina are like demons, so the prospect of haveing been wooed by one is a sin initself. And its true, manny of the girls miss their families whitch they may never see again. Its a mixed bag.

I’m very curious about this whole process and forgive me if I bombard you with a lot of questions..

Also, squee over that spoiler! I wonder what she looks like… and what she sees in him. And Beo in love might be the most hilarously awkward, not quite working relationship ever. What is it with your comic that has me so excited over it constantly?

I guess when you have to choose between love and death it’s a bit different. Although I’m sure that the fact that it might kill them is another reason that Mashina don’t force themselves on women as much as might be expected.

The Mashine race, because of the way their brains are set up, tend not to understand the subtly of music and the humour of jokes. It’s harder for them to understand the existence of God and even harder for them to control their emotions when they do feel them. They never evolved close to humans and thus don’t see themselves as being on the same level.

Jotun race grew up in the shadow of Bifrost in Sekond world and always had to deal with Norns as they functioned. Being close to the kings, the Norns, and the Yggdrassil tree has imbued the Jotun with a stronger chaos brain. Jotuns can understand the humour of jokes, and are more tolerant of strange phenomenon. Jotun aren’t as black-and-white in their views of the world, but they are short lived because the Norns destroy them constantly. Jotun don’t have nearly the knowledge or history that Mashina have.. So they have yet to reach any understanding of their full potential.

Mashina steal, kidnap and seduce human women because they can. And they almost have to. Their enemy, (the devils) have figured out what the Mashina are doing and have taken to slaughtering every human they find *especially* if it’s a woman. So even if Mashina didn’t do what they were doing, the humans would go extinct. At least this way, the human race lives on within the two stronger races.
Bonding can be forced without the girls consent initially, but Mashina have to work fast to win the hearts of the women they love or they are D.E.A.D. The process of creating and maintaining your half system (Guardia) becomes a taxing force that needs the female’s co-operation.
Eventually all the human girls kidnapped learn this little fact.. and choose to ‘make things work’ over certain death…

Also, the lowerworld Mashina are STEALING the women? So the ‘bonding’ (not the nano enlargement, that was explained) can be forced without love? ‘Cause I can t see really falling in love with someone after they kidnapped you.
