Editing Bonesaw (section)

===Body Augmentation===
Bonesaw has modified herself and her teammates extensively. All members of the Slaughterhouse Nine possess a subdermal mesh, reinforced more around the spine, organs, and major arteries, causing them to be much tougher than regular humans.<ref name=":2" /><ref name="13.7" /> The added protection was powerful enough to even allow members of the Nine to take shots from a sniper rifle.<ref name="13.7">Cherish shrugged. “Bonesaw gave me the works. Mesh sheaths for every major artery and organ, wire reinforcement for my skeleton. It’s not going to kill me anytime soon.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/18 Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.7]]</ref> More recently, she installed artificial neurons into the Nine that were able to stay hidden from [[Cherish]]'s emotion senses.<ref>Jack was getting heated, talking mostly to himself. “That was the whole point! To see how long we could go without tipping her off. Bonesaw helped with some surgery, even some artificial neural connections that Cherish wouldn’t be able to see. So much work and preparation ruined.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/07 Excerpt] from [[Plague 12.4]]</ref> 

Bonesaw herself is considerably more augmented. Her body is reinforced like the rest of the Nine, and she has redundant organs, able to function even with her heart pierced. She has numerous contingencies in the event of grievous bodily damage, including a prehensile spine that effectively serves as a third arm when exposed.<ref name="20.2 c1">Fully? No. But generally speaking, I try to stay one step ahead. If I decide to describe or unveil more of a character (be it their powers or their background), I try to give it some extra thought beforehand and think things through enough that there’s other traits or qualities that aren’t explicitly outlined (but perhaps implicitly).<br><br>The benefit of this is that, generally speaking, I’m not coming up with ideas at the moment I’m putting words to the page, and I’ve let thoughts & possibilities stew in my head for some time before it happens (One example: Bonesaw’s prehensile spine & the other accouterments she has set up in the event of major limb damage – I had it in mind well before Blasto’s interlude, but it never came up during the Nine’s stay in Brockton Bay). - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/chrysalis-20-2/#comment-14485 Comment by Wildbow] in [[Chrysalis 20.2]]</ref> Her prehensile spine has the ability to extend needles, which can interface with another victim's spine through the mouth to pilot that person's body.<ref name="I19.x" /> She can turn off the pain she felt through an internal 'switch', and is immune to most diseases, venoms, and allergens.<ref>“Just so you know, I’ve rendered myself immune to all those pesky little venoms and allergens,” she said. “And I can turn pain off like I’m flicking a switch. Don’t want to do that on a permanent basis, but it does make this easier to deal with.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/ Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.9]]</ref> 

Among her various tricks is her ability to deploy poisons from vents in her body, alongside mechanical traps and needles that can spring out on command.<ref name=":3">Bonesaw laughed again, not for quite so long. Through the giggles, she said, “If you’re going to try to mind control me, I can tell you you’ve got another thing coming. I’ve got safeguards. You’ll only activate my berserker mode.”<br><br>[...]<br><br>Bonesaw bristled. Mechanical traps, spring-loaded needles and venom venting systems readied throughout her body. She let the bags drop to the ground. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref> She is also loaded with lethal, potentially epidemic-causing plagues that are set to release into the air upon her potential death.<ref>“You know I loaded myself with a mess of epidemics, Defiant,” Bonesaw said. “You kill me like that and I’ll explode into a cloud of a bajillion plagues. It can’t be ''easy''.”<br><br>“It is,” Defiant’s voice was distorted by his helmet, vaguely computerized. There was a processor at work somewhere there, Rey observed.<br><br>“What, you’ll unleash a thousand plagues on this world to finish me off? Me? A little girl?” Bonesaw smiled wide. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/12/13 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 19.x]]</ref> She has capsules in her teeth that she can break to release and spit acid from her mouth.<ref name="I19.x" /> In the case of [[Master]] influence on her mind, she has a berserker mode that will automatically activate.<ref name=":3" />

After Bonesaw reformed, [[Panacea]] removed everything Bonesaw had implanted into her body. Panacea did not turn off the pain while she was doing this,<ref>“I’ve had ''no'' sleep,” Bonesaw said.  “Big sis here took out all the good bits I’d stored inside myself, and she didn’t turn off the pain.  I feel too light.  I feel ''weird''.  Can’t sit still, not that they ever ''let'' me.”<br><br>“First tier parahuman problems,” Imp said.  Her tone wasn’t as humorous in nature as the words. - [[Cockroaches 28.3]]</ref> presumably to make sure she did not miss anything she was removing and because she was still wary of a potential relapse.<ref>“And they keep getting on my case,” Bonesaw said, apparently oblivious.  She directed her attention to Panacea and Lung.  “Trust me, I haven’t butchered you all yet, I’m not going to in the future.  You can stop ''testing'' me.”<br><br>“I remember when you were cuddly,” Tattletale said.  “You were so happy and fluffy and you had a good ''attitude''.  You were a complete and total monster, and nobody in their right mind would cuddle you, but you were adorable.  Now look at you.”<br><br>Bonesaw scowled, but I wasn’t paying attention to that.  Tattletale had used the past tense.  ''You were a complete monster''.  Referring to the past, or an observation on a deeper level? - [[Cockroaches 28.3]]</ref><ref>“''She'' is why I can’t leave,” Panacea said.  “I’m the only one that can double-check her work.  If we’re both here, you’ve got two stellar healers on the back lines.  If I leave, you’ve got a healer with minimal combat experience on the front line and a defused bomb with nobody that’s capable of knowing if it’s reactivated.”<br><br>I couldn’t really argue that.<br><br>Well, I ''could'', but not very well.<br><br>“There’s another way to deal with that sort of situation,” Imp said.  “Get rid of the fucking bomb.”<br><br>“We will,” Panacea said.  “''If'' she gives us an excuse.  Any excuse at all.  But she gets one chance.” - [[Cockroaches 28.3]]</ref>
