Then how does she get defeated by Quote in the Sand Zone?Nanobots. They're powered/replenished/whatever with "hearts" and they repair Quote. Why such poorly designed system? Look at Curly. She doesn't die, unless she drowns. Why? Because her nanobots work properly, they repair her without the need to replenish anything. Quote's probably got damaged or something. So why didn't Curly just pass some of hers to Quote? One word: Amnesia. You can't gove somebody something you don't know you have. So, yeah... *re-reads the post* I really need to stop doing that...

I dunno. She probably gets too strained from all the beating. Or the 'bots can't repair her quickly enough, since Quote spams the living crap outta her.Then how does she get defeated by Quote in the Sand Zone?

So if we go by Nanobots, we're not exactly sure about some of the details yet when you think shields we can fill in all the gaps. Also, how does a life capsule make the nanobots work more well?

Hey, I'm just offering alternate theories. I'm not saying "It's not shields", I'm saying "It might be nanobots". And "might" is the key word here. Since there are a million and one possible explanations and no official one to just about everything in the game means that noone can say "Hey, this theory is is true and the others are bullshit". Theories are the closest we can ever get to the truth, simply because there is no truth to get to. As MetaSeraphim once said:
Capsules? They don't make the 'bots work more efficiently, they make Quote be able to take more damage. They probably contain a special material or what, that gives him some extra armor.
So you may go on your Holy Quest to seek out the True Truth of Truthiness, but I'm going to do only one thing here: throw ideas until I run out of them.We are just throwing ideas at the wall and seeing which ones stick.

Ok, I suppose I was being a little rude there, but it good to try to see which theories will make the most sense.

No problem. Well, anyway, IMO the "Shields" theory is the most plausible one here.Ok, I suppose I was being a little rude there, but it good to try to see which theories will make the most sense.

Agreed.
Some people really need to take this to heart. Not necessarily just the ones it was originally addressed to, either.Well I've got a solution for you: Think before you type. Sheesh...

If I can throw another theory at the proverbial wall...
(Though, yes, I do like the sound of shields...)
Could it be that Quote IS a cybernetic organism, but not in the traditional sense.
What I mean is, could he have a synthetic muscle (Electroactive polymers) system attached to an inorganic but durable (steel, carbon fibre) "skeleton".
With this idea, the Life Capsules would be more akin to a kit with the materials needed to graft additonal EAP comonents on.
As the "muscle" mass increases, it becomes more durable (like a human).
As well, the Hearts could be similar to a fast-setting "glue" used to reattach or hold together pieces that've become damaged.

Even with this proverbial boulder thrown at the proverbial wall, I agree with the whole "shields" bit. Maybe the life capsules are like little batteries that add more charge capacity (they come fully charged, after all).
