Questions regarding Nekos and HS

If one cannot change a Neko genetically, then is there a way to create hemosynthesized technology that can interface with a Neko and augment it's capabilities? I think there is, since the Kiroshi already uses simalar technology in it's control room.
 
I wouldn't have thought so as it is stated that no Neko has biological or mechanical augmentations. However I will not pretend to be an expert on this subject.

What augmantations did you want?
 
I'm not really talkig about the Nekos themselves as I am about temporary HS entities that can augment a Neko's abilities, for just as long as they are there. These can actually be naturally hemosynthesized by the Nekos themselves, so it's not really artificial augmentation.

Okay lemme explain: Say Tsuki needs to do some work with wires that she, as an NH-17R, can't reach. However, Jakei has come up with an HS module of sorts that allows her to work with these wires as if said module were an extension of her body.. Are there any obscure genetics laws that will have the SA lopping off my head?
 
You mean a bio-neural interface? That would allow her to control the ship as if it was an extension of herself? I see no problem with that. Wes?
 
Nekos like the NH-17 can form extra limbs, tentacles, and the like from their HS ports (or a wound). The locations are the same as the ones on the NH-7.

There's an NH-7 manual here:

As for interfacing with something, the Nekos have the Shoulder Link Interface Control System (SLICS) which involves holes running through their shoulders that serve as plug-in points for things like Nekovalkyra starships and mecha (usually made by Ketsurui Fleet Yards).

 
Where are the manuals it refers to?

And, on a minor side note, what would an outside observer see if a Neko were to hemosynthesize something from an external HS port?

They exist in the in-character world, but in reality, they were never written.

They'd see a shimmering bulge of red liquid (HS Blood) extend from the HS port and morph into the desired extension. Extensions are organic, most of the time, thought certain Nekos can make metal things, too; they call those ones "penny eaters."
 
For my ninjutsu article I was wondering about "penny eaters" because I wrote that certain Neko can create their own metal weapons, but it might help to add which ones those are, how, and a little more details other than "via hemosynthetic nanomachines" @Wes
 
Added to my list of feedback.
