I want a little green medic bot of my very own, to sit on my shoulder and be creepy at people. I like the hints that the medic is sentient in this. It seems to be making decisions about which controls to activate, and it gave a warning, which indicates that something's going on upstairs.
Nova's triumph at being the shiniest thing she's ever seen is wonderful. I can imagine that in a world made of metal, being shiny is very highly prized indeed (as an indicator of status/wealth/power). After all, if you can afford to keep yourself shiny when everything around you is also made of metal, you obviously have significant resources at your disposal (and dude, she's shinier than Brightbolt, who obviously puts a lot of effort in, but who I imagine to be covered with a network of tiny everyday scuffs and scratches that you only notice really close up, but which he can't get rid of entirely, and which stop him looking as new and brilliant as Nova at that moment). This is by far my favourite piece of the world/culture-building thus far, and I think I've rambled on about it far too long :P
Bane is a lazy bastard. And beautifuly repellant (it's not the branding scene that makes me think that, but the bit where's he's lounging about at the beginning). I really want Nova to slag him :P
