Have you seen A.I.?

That said though, this is entirely UA. Imagine, if you would, a mother
dropping her baby, the child screams but the scream becomes a rattle,
becomes a horrid gridning whine. Camera shifts back, a dolls pull-string
voice box is coming out of it's mouth. Fade to black.

Releated ideas:
- Effects on The Mother archetype?
- Would the child need to be 'upgraded' by a willing mechnomancer every few
years to retain the semblance of aging?

Another idea that comes to mindis having one of the major NPCs revealed to
be a clockwork 'oh, I learned how reattach my arm since I was eight years
old'.

Skills:
- I Don't Have Emotions, But I've Read About Them
- Reattach Your Limbs
- Rotate Head 360 degrees
- Make it back to the repair shop
