#turtle's constructs

I don't think I have any robot girls in Construct. Like, they exist in-universe, but they're all unnamed background characters. I should change that. Evie knows the names of every Construct made in her group's facility. Even if she personally didn't create them. She memorizes all their names in an effort to treat them like people. Lain is socially awkward and mostly just hangs around with her and some of the ally aliens. He's polite but he doesn't spend a ton of time with his Construct peers. I guess that was my justification for most of the other Constructs being background characters, since Lain is basically the view point character. In the visual novel thing, he's the playable character and the narrator.

I'm trying to figure out if the Constructs should be able to eat or not. I don't think they'd have to. They mostly like, photosynthesize. But in case they're underground or something and can't get exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, they need some sorta alternative energy source or backup plan. Hmm... Maybe they keep charged solar batteries on hand that they can drain for energy in an emergency? But... then again, they explicitly have some organic parts, like humans. Maybe the nanites inside em can convert the solar energy into something the organic tissue can use? That'd make up for the human cells not being able to photosynthesize naturally. Maybe they eat stuff in simple, broken down form once in a while? So something kinda like glucose tablets...
