Given the pages that had lavished on turning the human women into the drones (a "minute or so" process according to an earlier chapter) I'm surprised that they were able to change back to their more human looks so casually and quickly. Don't get me wrong, they did look sexy but it was rather...solid looking, as if there were metal plates grated onto them. So what it all metal or just cloth?
If you do do a sequel I'd like to see a scene with the reconversion, not only physically but mentally, restoring the old self for just a moment before the "you will seduce our guests to be processed" mindset. Given that just a page or two before they'd been robotic, seeing the girls vamping was...odd and it caused a bit of a disconnnection for me, especially with the new outfits.
This might be something of a morbid question but what happened to their hair when they were converted? Was it saved and made into a skullcap to be reattached when needed or are they given a brand new wig every time? It just amazes me with all the trouble I have with my hair how they could have it all taken away and then be perfectly coiffed when they become human again!
The suits are fabric, but most of the implants are cybernetic. At least that's how I see it. That's why they wear long sleeves and leggings with those silvery skirtsuits. Don't want to give too much away, right?
As for the hair, I think it's safe to assume they wear wigs. When Number One first reveals herself to the captain on page 68 she peels her hairpiece right off.
Thanks for the great questions!
