I get that Vestine demands the best. And she also needed a bot who was tough enough that it was plausible that she was the assassin who murdered all those diplomats. But Lisa is as over-engineered as Astro Boy! I'm thinking her maker might have made her too good on purpose. Speaking of that massacre: that's the biggest plot hole in this otherwise most excellent story. Why intentionally plant an android at the scene of the crime, who can be traced back to Vestine?

I think Vestine is not as smart as she thinks... :) anyway the point was to make it traceable back to USA, which Vestine hoped would trigger the Chinese into starting a war, more on that later

Well thankfully you didn't detect a defib- because you would have just killed him.

She doesn't even need to be able to shoot with her finger, like Honor Harrington ...

This is a series of novels by David Weber, who wanted to resurrect C.S. Forester's Hornblower as a female SF character. He created a complete "Honorverse". https://honorverse.fandom.com/wiki/Honor_Harrington Honor was badly injured, losing half her face and an arm, among other things, and was patched up cyborg-like. After waking up, she discovered that she can shoot with her synthetic index finger.

that one's new to me, is it good? How does she shoot with a finger? :)
