While looking at my character lovingly, I noticed this rather strange thing. In between my leg protectors, there seemed to be PVC wiring or something in there... Hahn said that we are biotechs, does that mean that we are half organic? Backstory?

I thought that this was already implied both by the appearance of knights and their behavior, as suggested by some writings and emotes.

I don't understand what wire you are talking about. That's just a color-changing splotch on the armor.

Pretty sure biotech's a shorter way of sayin' "biological technician" which is, in fact, a real occupation.

Knights are organic beings. Just look at the description for Rocky Core.

Not to mention we breathe while we're idling. I don't think robots breathe.

See now, I've been working on the assumption that they were homunculi.

Please, Gentlemen...

Biotech is short for "Biotechnology"

Bio = Life
Technology = robots (duuhhh)

Bio + Technology = Biotechnology (Living robots!)

That's a relief, I thought I was the only one who gets reminded of Spiral Knights whenever I see a Jawa in good old Star Wars.

I do not know if these wires are exclusive to one line....

I do not know if these wires might be for only chroma line, but it would be worth a check.

Yes, we breath and eat...

But remember, Darth Vader was mostly robot, and HE breathed, why cant knights? And as we know, OOO is quite picky about little details.

I always thought we were ghosts that possess armour, which is why we can't take armour off.

Oh hey...

I just posted about this here.

For those too lazy to read, we have lots of compelling evidence that knights eat and breathe, but we're never given a concrete statement saying that knights are indeed organic beings.

Biotechs are a RANK. They reasearch the flora and fauna(and other inhabitants) of the planets they explore.

That thing you noticed was the skin of the armour.
