Ardhanarishvarobot

The cockpit gadgetry is still under conception.

Ardhanarishvarobot is the robotic union of #biology and #machinery through #electronics. Is it (or are they) android or cyborg? The former is a machine in the shape of man, while the latter is mans assimilation into machine.The origin of Ardhanarishvarabot is unknown. Is this rowbut composed of kreechers in a hewmunoid suit? Or is it a kreecher composed of hewmuns in a rowbut suit? It might be a kreecher in a rowbut suit pretending to be hewmuns. Wait, its rowbuts in a hewmun suit unaware that it is/they are a kreecher!The trippy thing here is that Ardhanarishvarabot is actually an AI controller for a long-lost science vessel that converted itself into a genomic ark. The advent of 4D recording allowed humanity to transgress into digital mortality. An individuals genome is their avatar in the post-life simulation. Of course, there are 4-, 3- and -dimensional printers to incarnate a recorded being.The ark, aptly named "The Lotus Apparatus", is an orb of planet scale (a Magic 8-Bus capable of traversing space to new worlds, moving time to new moments, and adjusting proportion to any scale). It functions as a flight-shell (volitant machine) or war-shell (building-sized transport/defender) as a whole, and fragments into fight shells (hewmun-sized suits), mounts (for hewmuns to ride), and bots (hewmun-sized automata for fixed purposes). Its core is pure Soulite, obviously.
