Not quite, Revolver Knuckle is not equipped with an AI to begin with. As far as we know, Quint never had an Intelligent Device.

Only for quick answers. I would suggest theories regarding devices and such be posted in the magic and technology thread.

Rising Dragon · 2010-08-04, 15:42

I've been under the impression that the completed Revolver Knuckle that Quint used was an Armed Device, but I've never been able to get any confirmation on it.

Keroko · 2010-08-04, 17:11

It is. The 'completed' knuckle merely is the use of two knuckles at the same time, the two individual knuckles are both Armed.

Ah, right. But the Armed Devices also have a rather good AI, even if not capable of self-determination.

Keroko · 2010-08-05, 11:24

Not all of them, Revolver Knuckle is an example of this. Another example is Hayate's staff and the majority of the grunt devices.

You have a point, though the grunt Devices are mostly of Storage type, according to the fluff... Though the distinction between an Armed Device and a weapon-shaped Storage one can be vague, at best, like in Storm Raider's case.

Another question: what's the highest number on the list of administered worlds that we know of?

Nanya01 · 2010-08-05, 17:03

61 Supools, Caro's world after she was banished from Alzas (which is world #6)

Koveras Alvane · 2010-08-10, 12:46

Should Nanoha be referred as "Ms. Takamachi" or "Mrs. Takamachi" as of ViVid? ^^;;;

Bananoha · 2010-08-10, 12:54

.... Miss/Ms.

Who would she be married to? =w= inb4 Fate.

None, she's not married.

Koveras Alvane · 2010-08-10, 14:11

Yes, but it feels kinda awkward to refer to a woman with a ten-year old child as "Ms.". :-\

Mrs. Nanoha Testarossa?

Not really. Far too common in real life, actually... single mothers and such.

I guess, I've never met a single mother with whom I had to speak English, then (German doesn't have a distinction like that). ^^;

Well, the whole "ms/mrs" in english thing is denoted through marriage, rather than motherhood.

The term is used for Married womans, divorced, single mothers or widow womans.

The term for single womans or too young womans should be "lady" (Lady Takamachi)

Of course, these expresions are way to pollite, mostly used when referning to persons with
a hig rank (economic mostly, as example) and it's not very used in comon society on these days.

Rising Dragon · 2010-08-10, 15:18

... you mean term, right?

Lady Takamachi... That associates with nobility. I wonder how well Nanoha would do if she were born in the Belkan Era...
