Follow Esme's lead. She seems to have a pretty good idea of how to properly gear up a skeleton.

I just worry that padding piecewise down will make him less effective. His main strength isn't physical power or speed, but machine precision. Gunking up his joints with heavy cloth will muck that up.

What if we just don’t pad the joints, but pad non joints

Oh. That's true. Mm...

Do the armor thing. Maybe avoid the padding thing, if it encumbers Piecewise unduly.

I say keeping the clothes/armor and the skeleton in separate containers and then moving them to the place we'll ambush the patrol and putting them on Piecewise there is best. That way there'll be even less chances of it being spotted and anyone who does see him might just mistake him for a weird homeless man.

Any reason we can't make a core like..... literally covered in iron going forward? Like it seems that biological core components = better minions from what we've checked. Can't we like..... I don't know, cast a brain in iron and use that? Not literally on account of the melted brain matter but you understand.

[Egan_BW]

Completely surrounding the core might introduce latency.

Yeah I guess that's the concern.

If it were attached to the being itself, like say, fused to the ribcage or some other less-than-mobile structure on the being itself, it shouldn't matter.

"Alright" Esme says, standing up and straightening her skirt for a moment before walking towards the door.  "You have papers now so you should be able to walk around relatively safely. Pack up that skeleton and anything else you got and we'll head out.  First we'll get some clothing, then I know a guy who might be able to handle the armor. He's a boiler maker, not an armorer but he should be able to make fitted metal sections regardless.  Maybe a theatrical supply shop too, so we can build a false face for the skeleton, unless you were set on the ski mask?

Anything else we need? You intending to have that skeleton just use a knife or did you want him to have a gun? A knife is silent so it does have its advantages."

[Superdorf]

I'm not real set on the ski-mask; a false face could prove useful-- but only if it's sufficiently convincing. How good are the false faces around here?

Piecewise is pretty devastating with that knife of his, but a gun could be worth looking into.

[Dunamisdeos]

Scarf and glasses, perhaps?

Nothing we do is going to really conceal him under close scrutiny. The goal should be to avoid close scrutiny.

[Egan_BW]

Knife good. But, no reason we couldn't get a revolver or something as backup. Piecewise only uses what we tell him to, and a pistol hidden away in a pocket makes no noise.
