Yeah I did think about the Episode 100 example, but I agree that that is most likely because of Omega inheriting that trait. However, Epsilon also seems to have implanted himself into Carolina's armour/mind so that suggests to me that he has also inherited this trait, or developed it.

I agree that it's most likely just something that was never concieved in the earlier seasons, but it still seems like quite a major inconsistency. I did think that it could be possible that when only implanted in the armour's A.I. slot that the A.I.s could only run at a certain level of capacity, and implanting them in the person's brain would enable the A.I. to access the person's thoughts, but in Recovery One Delta was able to do this without surgery.

So I guess I have to go with PLOT MAGIC!
