Reading highly classified files vital for your next mission is not excuse to miss out on your workouts. Those non-nano muscles aren't going to pump themselves up, even though she can program her other muscles to do that for her, though it would look creepy looking as if her body is "alive". Anyway, Evelynn is doing just that, putting her nano-infused muscles on rest mode leaving her remaining natural ones fully strong due to years of training and her adventuring that requires just her own natural strength. Sometimes it comes in handy and other times, it's a reminder of where her real strength lies.

Before the attack, the once little red dragon could not even pick up a couch, now she can toss it over the length of six football fields. But it is nice for her to have the option to not rely on the machines flowing through her veins or become a towering hulk at will. Just her, the infopad and sixty reps with that 500-pound weight.
