If she's using a Battle Steel subvariant, she's got my card..
Yah, I'd expect all sorts of unexpected damage to unexpected things, to be honest.. but the ECM and the batteries, the Rotor.. all easy enough to shield in short order, and to be honest - the 'dogbrain' AI in one of the Boys would be a riskable unit to bring back a one-off full-up AI.

Quote:Aside from the road wheels and the odd alternatoring bits, my boys drive systems are _solid state_. I guesstimate about a day's worth of work to slam together a multi-layer charged pressure vessel big enough to contain enough batteries to power one of the Boys down and back up again, unless, of course, you make the tactical error of falling into a Deep Chasm...
I never thought about it, but all that pressure isn't going to be much of a problem for a conventional vehicle.. if you just open the windows. It made a lot of sense as the suburban settled to the muck in front of me. Sparks flickered across the shattered remains of its headlamps, I could swear it looked depressed.. I eeled in through the open driver's window and tapped the driverless rig on the dash, and we began the long, slow slog back to the surface.
