Oh sure, they could have forged a wireless connection and done it that way. The ones who were far away did so. These were all living nearby though, this affected all of them, and they were all comfortable with each other's presence.
They were all RoboGirls, of course.
Ami, Minako, Michiru, and Hotaru were mainly silent. When one was doing the talking - it was usually Ami presenting an analysis or Minako trying to come up with a different approach.
Honey, Nuku Nuku, and some of the others discussed the possibilities openly.
Crystal Tokyo was still a possibility. It was just that some of the Senshi were now these technorganic lifeforms. Usagi was still Usagi, Mamoru was still Mamoru, and the two could have Chibi-usa in the normal manner.
The idea of having Sailor Moon try to purify them was brought up but quickly shot down as it was pointed out that the previous attempt at this had seen the attack rebounded and had carried the transformation back. Pluto had leapt in the way to protect Sailor Moon, and that was how she had gotten transformed.
Each transformation had additional bits added to later transformations. Nabiki, Akane, and Kasumi did not need to be wound up - but didn't fly or have energy projection abilities either. After an Ifurita had been added, all units had flight and energy projection abilities while also needing to be wound up.
"Our main problems with the necessary steps to create Crystal Tokyo are as follows then," said Ami to sum up. "First there is the Great Freeze, apparently caused by an enemy attack of some kind. The world is frozen for one thousand years before Usagi determines a method of unfreezing and saving one city - Tokyo. The rest of the world is uninhabitable during that period."
Honey addressed the Pluto-image. "There is a very good chance that with our uprated systems that we would be immune to the attacks. For example, Ami's knowledge of previous attacks employed by her enemies and my knowledge of my enemies, allowed us to link up and work out defenses against such things in the future."
Ranma shrugged. "It's the Anything Goes style at work. What can I say?"
"If the attack is viral or environmental, we are naturally immune," put in Nabiki. "We are quite capable of defending ourselves against overdimensional and esper attacks as well through our 'firewall' and 'identity shield' routines."
"Which are some of the problems involved in freeing us," pointed out Michiru. "If it were possible to revert us to pre-conversion status - the means would have to overwhelm such defenses as well."
"If we ARE unaffected by the means of attack, we would then have a dilemma on our hands," said Ami. "By infection and conversion, we could spread the defense against the attack. If the subject was willing - would it be the moral choice to do nothing and wait to see if the subject would be one of those eventually freed by Usagi?"
Setsuna's image shook her head. "You said there were 'problems' plural?"
"Just one city out of all the world?" asked Hotaru.
"There is also the possibility of the same means used to create us being discovered or duplicated," said Michiru.
"Kujaku and Von Ecchi are still alive," said Setsuna.
All the robogirls went perfectly still except for suddenly flashing datafields rushing across their eyes.
"That is unfortunate," said Michiru eventually. "Do you have a location?"
Setsuna shook her head. "I saw a glimpse of them in the timestream, sometime in the future. It is difficult to lock onto a period other than the present of now or the present of Crystal Tokyo."
"Then we shall have to post guards over the remaining Senshi," said Ami. "The two of them will likely seek to convert the remaining Senshi and available targets in order to reclaim us."
"Communicating this to outlying units," said Michiru, her eyes glowing.
"What will you do, Setsuna-san?" asked Ami. "There is every reason to suppose that we will oppose the Great Freeze but support Crystal Tokyo. There is nothing to prevent Usagi from becoming Neo-Serenity, Mamoru from becoming Endymion, and Chibi-usa from being born at present."
Setsuna looked around the table, seeing everyone waiting for her answer.
