story

There are two things I've never done enough with that I find really interesting.
One is the device that Eggman uses in many continuities to turn organics into robots.
The other is Bunnie, and how I find her to be a really great ship with Tails.

The way that I see the device working, is that it does the conversion in layers. The first conversion that it does is small, turning tiny parts of the body into biometal to create anchoring points and structural consistency. Next, it turns the organics into biomechanical materials on a 1 to 1 scale. After that, it optimizes for combat by removing anything not redundant. Lastly, it turns the biomechanical stuff into just mechanical stuff.

Bunnie was interrupted very early into the process, with all of her insides, such as organs, nerves and bones being converted. As well as the legs, hips and one arm. This is why she is so durable and why does does not suffer any issue moving such heavy parts around despite looking organic. In truth, she's around 90% biomechanical. Which IS different to mechanical.

Biometal is a perfect fusion between organic and mechanical, being a flexible, self repairing, alloy made up of tiny nanobot like machines. Practically just how organic works, but with mechanical materials. She has full range of flexibility, sensations, and can do the usual things such as eat perfectly fine. But she also doesn't need to eat almost anything. She heals far faster than any organic does, and even then her 'skin' is more durable than normal. In a lot of ways she is better than any organic mobian or any fully robotic eggman minion...

The problem is energy. The reason the process removes as many organic systems as it can during the final layer is because simulating everything requires too much power. Luckily she can regenerate power automatically using her Core, but it's not enough. For every 10 minutes of incredible power and speed, she requires an hour of sleep.

Tails took a lot of time researching how she functions in order to try and fix that energy problem. While he can't completely remove the limitation outside of implanting a Chaos Emerald inside of her, he did optimize her to the point she doesn't need to be asleep for 20 hours a day anymore. The long hours of social contact with him also helped immensely with her mental state as she had been suffering greatly on a psychological level.

The difference in age between them never was a problem for her as Tails is so damn intelligent that he already speaks and acts like he has decades of maturity over her. With how kind, hard working and super cute he is as well, it's just easy to forget he's like 12. She sure did the night she broke his bed in half.

Tails doesn't like to admit it but he has a bit of a kink for the biometal.
The scalding hot internal temperatures and vice grip are certainty nice features.
