[Demeisen eyes Sebastian curiously as he explains, tapping one fingernail idly against the stem of his pipe. Strange that he says “beyond the biological.” Demeisen doesn’t entirely know what that might mean in this context, but he’s guessing it isn’t anything as simple as Sebastian simply having synthetic enhancements.
If the higher sensory functionality from his effectors was online, he’d take a look at the activity levels in the brain in question, see for himself if it was really just a lump of meat—but like a great many of his capabilities, that particular one has been denied him ever since he crawled out of the dirt beneath the Tree. He’ll have to take the man’s word for it.]
That’s less than usual, [he admits.] Still, not exactly unheard of. Plenty of eminently strange life forms in the wide, wonderful galaxy. Centralized brain is an optional feature, as I understand it.
[He shrugs, apparently unbothered by the revelation of Sebastian’s fake human brain.]
Case like yours might make it harder, though. I couldn’t really say with any authority; been short on most of my faculties since I arrived. Can’t take a peek, myself.
