<... and you hit a part that isn't the sphere/core in the middle. Does the Ghost feel pain? Is it effectively injured? Does it just get disoriented from the initial shot? I realize that if you stab a Ghost in the eye, you'll kill it. I assume this is due to the core housing the orb of Light that a Ghost actually is. I'm just curious how close you could get to the core without actually harming that orb of Light.
Not only that, but I believe this information is necessary in understanding the Traveler, the Pyramids, and possibly the Winnower itself if it takes up a vessel or shell of some kind.
EDIT - guys I'm just trying to gauge whether the Traveler was actually hurt during the Red War and if the broken shell actually matters in its recovery.>

During the nessus strike as we defend the arc plate our ghost cries out in pain. Whether or not this is a synthetic pain (ie he actually feels what we would call pain) or a defensive process (no physical pain but a mocked response that reflects some defensive programming to keep his hardware safe) is up for debate.
