The NH-7 has holes that run through her shoulders, three on the front and three on the back of each. The holes, which are arranged in a circular pattern, two on the top, and one on the bottom, are evenly placed on the imaginary circle, with the lower one oriented in the direction of her arm. These holes are used for interface with mecha and vehicular systems. Inside these holes, you can often see the pink triangle of flesh that surrounds the actual holes themselves.

They exist in the in-character world, but in reality, they were never written.Where are the manuals it refers to?
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."And, on a minor side note, what would an outside observer see if a Neko were to hemosynthesize something from an external HS port?
Added to my list of feedback.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
