Paypal and Payoneer no longer work in my country, so I can't get money from Ko-fi, Gumroad, Buymeacoffe and ComicAd (the ad banners here).
The only tip jar I have left is Boosty. It accepts Paypal, all cards, any currency, then it converts it into rubles and sends to me. Boosty works the same way as Patreon + accepts one-time donations like Ko-fi and allows selling ebooks.

Looks like there is absolutely nothing special about Faith's prosthetic arm. This model has a bare minimum of functions and was created for retired veterans. In ancient times they were still useful as instructors for the young Sentinels and could have children if they wanted.

A side note: Hope is not related to Faith by blood, she was one of the frozen embyos stored on the station, that's why she doesn't have her mother's brain type and physical abilities. Hope is just a plain, "vanilla" human being, just like Nolan.

It's a cool detail that the prosthetic can repair itself. Too bad real-world tech doesn't have that feature. A lot of people would probably love it if their assistive devices didn't wear or break down.

Alas, the rich won't let self-repair systems happen. Their profits will suffer if things stop breaking and needing replacements every day.

Yup! I heard that some of the real-world prosthetics already close to having it too.
