I foresaw this long in advance. Her old limbs couldn't handle the excessive strain she was putting on them. What little left of her that was flesh and blood was being run completely ragged, as usual, but it was even worse, because the implants enabled her to push herself well beyond the limit of what living tissue can safely manage in terms of trauma. It was only a matter of time before her little support team started integrating piecemeal powered armor components.



The perk notification at the end of Chapter 53 hints that her newly-reinforced spine and sub-dermal armor are supposed to act as a mounting frame for add-on components. I wonder what kind of crazy hardware they'll rig her up with next? Just watch; after conquering her fear of heights, she'll probably end up turned into a cyber-alicorn with prosthetic wings or boosters or something and get into a climactic aerial battle with you-know-who.
