 [Today's network broadcast comes in the wake of recent discussions, combined with the recollection of those past.  An uncertainty finally overshadowed by curiosity.]

It has been suggested to me on multiple occasions, to consider the idea of amplifying my current maximum output through...magical means.

[Still hesitant to speak the 'm' word after all this time.  Not for a lack of belief, or any distain.  Magic would simply be an area she could never scientifically quantify, and thus, was left to the mercy of those who responded.]

I wish to learn more from who might possess knowledge in this area.  Or experience.  [Preferably experience.]

If you are concerned about any physical damage, I can assure you that I do not feel pain.

[Emotional pain, yes, but otherwise, she had literally been ripped limb from limb in the past and felt nothing. One of the perks of being a wallflower robot.]

[risingwinds]

Really?

[...Well, that's a little reassuring, but that raises all kinds of questions. If she can't feel pain--]

But can you feel anything? Like temperatures, or the ground, or anything like that?

[looksfine]

I can discern certain tactile sensations, such as pressure, and accurately measure both my internal as well as the external temperature of my immediate surroundings, yes.

[There was a difference between not having the neurological receptors that would normally register as pain, versus not feeling anything at all.]

[risingwinds]

Huh... That's good, 'cause I can't imagine how it'd feel if you couldn't at least feel that sorta stuff. Wouldn't it be tough to move around?

[Not being able to feel even the presence of other objects just sounds... strange. Maybe even scary. Thank goodness that doesn't apply to her!]

[looksfine]

I do not recall having significant difficulty previously.

[Before she constructed her physical body.]

[risingwinds]

Whoa, wait. You've actually experienced stuff like that? And it wasn't even a little weird?

[Man, this keeps getting more and more interesting by the second! Just what was she before?]

[looksfine]

Not really, no.

[You wouldn't believe her if she told you.]

It was the state I was first created in. Having a physical form was what initially felt--as you described it--weird.

[Though nothing she couldn't adjust to easily enough.]

[risingwinds]

Wow... So what changed? I mean, there must've been some reason you got a body, right? Unless you just woke up one day and you could move around... I guess stranger things have happened.

[Then again, Ven's experienced worlds with talking ducks, mice, and... whatever Pete is. Plus, he's met aliens. He's ready to accept just about any oddities.]

[looksfine]

I was informed that having a physical form with which to interact and move about was essential to becoming a Green Lantern. So I used several spare ship parts to construct myself this body.

[Actually, Kilowog had been trying to dissuade her from the idea altogether, and she took that as a challenge accepted moment.]
