Okay, good history lesson, but the car ate her, so now she is the car? I didn’t quite follow that bit. I liked the nuclear proliferation parallel though.

The car ate her, intending to copy and store her mind for future reference to her memories—but she’d been secretly injected with “Project Sugar” nanites that attacked the Marauder from within. (sugar in the gas tank, get it?) So instead, her mind overwrote the mind of the Marauder automech that processed her. Aegis R&D called off tbe protection of Sera so that it would happen and they’d get to test their new toy.

Rm you have a truly dizzying intellect.

Thanks…I think?
