It's not necessary, but if you want to learn more about the events Grace is describing (particularly the spellcaster who sacrificed herself), it originated in another story you can read here (chrono link for desktop only). I'm sure there are some inconsistencies because I had no idea I'd be doing more with it and my storytelling was more casual and gameplay-oriented then, but it might help fill in some gaps.

the thing about them eating jackie is that it's like. well. she's already dead and they have no food. if i was them i can't say that i wouldn't! and if you read stories of real world instances of cannibalism like the flight 571 crash the show is inspired by, that was their real life logic. they had no choice; it was eat or die. they even talked about it and realised that if they died they would want to get eaten to sustain the other survivors. so i get it when the yellowjackets showrunners say that eating someone is not the most transgressive thing that happens in the show because in their circumstances it's very forgivable. there are real life people who did this and still live in society because we understand

Fruit flies could hold the key to building resiliency in autonomous robots - Technology Org

Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Floris van Breugel has been awarded a $2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to adapt autonomous robots to be as resilient as fruit flies.

Resiliency in autonomous robotic systems is crucial, especially for robotics systems used in disaster response and surveillance, such as drones monitoring wildfires. Unfortunately, modern robots have difficulty responding to new environments or damage to their bodies that might occur during disaster response, van Breugel wrote in his grant application. In contrast, living systems are remarkably adept at quickly adjusting their behavior to new situations thanks to redundancy and flexibility within their sensory and muscle control systems.

Scientific discoveries in fruit flies have helped shed light on how these insects achieve resiliency in flight, according to van Breugel. His project will translate that emerging knowledge on insect neuroscience to develop more resilient robotic systems.

“This is a highly competitive award on a topic with tremendous potential impact, which also speaks of the research excellence of the investigator and Mechanical Engineering at UNR,” Petros Voulgaris, Mechanical Engineering department chair, said.

This research aligns with the College of Engineering’s Unmanned Vehicles research pillar.

Engineering + flies

The intersection of engineering and flies long has been an interest to van Breugel.

“As an undergrad, I did research where my main project was designing a flying, hovering thing that birds or insects vaguely inspired,” he said. “Throughout that project, I realized that the hard part, which was more interesting to me, is once you have this mechanical thing that can fly, how do you control it? How do you make it go where you want it to go? If it gets broken, how do you adapt to that?”

Van Breugel says he is examining how “animals can repurpose or reprogram their sensorimotor systems ‘on the fly’ to compensate for internal damage or external perturbations quickly.”

Working with van Breugel on the grant are experts in insect neuroscience, including Michael Dickinson, professor of bioengineering and aeronautics at the California Institute of Technology (and van Breugel’s Ph.D. advisor) as well as Yvette Fisher, assistant professor of neurobiology at U.C. Berkeley. Both have pioneered aspects of brain imaging in flies in regards to the discoveries and technology in the field that van Breugel is utilizing in this research project. Also on the project: Bing Bruton, associate professor of biology at the University of Washington, who brings her expertise in computational neuroscience.

The importance of flies in the realm of both engineering and neuroscience stems from the combination of their sophisticated behavior together with brains that are numerically simple enough that they can be studied in detail. This “goldilocks” combination, van Bruegel said, makes it feasible to distill properties of their neural processing into fundamental engineering principles that can be applied to robotics systems. 

As part of the grant, research experiences will be offered to middle school, high school and undergraduate students to participate in both neuroscience and robotics research. Van Breugel and his team also will develop open-source content to help bring neuroscience fluency to engineering students. This aligns with the College of Engineering’s Student Engagement operational pillar.

Doll is not the best fighter and relies heavily on the virus, ambush or traps. Without the element of surprise on her side, it would be easy to take her down.

It makes sense when you consider that the workers went into hiding and never thought of ways to fight back. They never had anything to defend themselves with and were only shutting the problem out. Meanwhile, N, J and V have extensions installed into them and also appear stronger in physical fights.

Doll technically only recently gained the virus. The second episode implies that she used it for the first time given how surprised she is over it and there was a timeskip in episode three.

Doll taught herself everything and had to figure out a way to use her skills and is definitely still figuring them out considering she knows so little about the virus. Prior to that, she never needed to fight.

Every confrontation with Doll was her setting up an ambush or a trap. She depends on dirty tricks to get the upper hand in a fight.

It doesn’t take much to catch her off guard. Keep it up and you have a chance of beating her. She is also someone who allows her frustrations and emotions get the better of her, so that is something that can easily get taken advantage of.

With the lack of fighting skills, Doll does not use her physical strength like Uzi, N or V. She relies on the virus and calculations for a lot of things.

She only has the transform / edit / scale / rotate abilities which appears to be her main method. If somebody does not give her enough time and blocks her from using the virus, then she won’t have a chance to use them in the first place. It's also why she prefers to fight from a distance.

Her fighting is rather predictable, especially since she will throw things at you. She will use everything she's got, using the virus to summon knives and uses everything she has in the area to throw things at you. I

It will become wildly and she will attack in bursts. If you figure out the pattern, catch her off guard or just faster than her in general you have a chance of beating her.
