Juri Wu Nien was honestly scared to death of going out in an actual battle.
With the rejection of the ridiculous demands made by the Atlantic Federation, Orb was now going to have to prepare itself for a battle of epic proportions. Consideirng that she had lived in a peaceful country for over 20 years, it was easy to understand why getting in a mobile suit to kill others disturbed her. Still, with the aggressiveness that the Atlantic Federation is displaying, this conflict is inevitable.
"Juri! Mayura! Let's make it through this fight in one piece! That's an order!"
Juri exhaled softly before responding to Asagi. "Roger that! Juri Wu Nien! M1 Astray, launching!"
**********
After her first fifteen minutes out on the battlefield, she could clearly say that while she had enough will inside to refrain from running like a coward, she wasn't helping as much as she could be. Some of her shots had been wasted and if she kept this up, her energy would be depleted fairly quickly and she would be nothing but a sitting duck.
Juri briefly retracted her helmet visor and pushed up her glasses as her Astray took cover behind the front lines to wait until her energy rifle cooled down. 'Chief Simmons said that Kira programmed an AI in our operating systems to give us help in case we needed it. I may as well see if it has something useful to say.' She quickly found the program icon (a strange red robotic head of some sorts) and activated it. The console beeped once before a robotic voice answered her.
"Statement: Greetings, Master. I am the HK-47 Combat Artificial Intelligence. Assumption: You are in need of help of killing other meatbags."
"...... yes?"
"Request: Please identify all friendly meatbags."
"Um... anyone who is fighting on behalf of the Orb Union?"
A beep as the program checked the database before it replied. "Acknowledgment: All friendly meatbags have been issued a warning not to get in this unit's way. Disappointed confession: That eliminates over 5,000 targets. Cheerful statement: There are still however approximately 10,000 targets available."
She replaced her visor. "Then let's do our share and help the others-"
She was cut off as the Astray kicked into action and swiftly destroyed four Strike Daggers in under ninety seconds by the most brutal methods available: Two with beam sabers thrust in the cockpit, one with a point blank shot from the energy rifle and one unlucky pilot whose body met a robotic fist going at around 70 kilometers per hour. At the end of that display of combat, Juri was left shaking in her cockpit.
Unknown to her, the AI sent a message over an open channel to all recipients. "Intimidation: Alright, dirty meatbags of the Atlantic Federation!! WHO WANTS SOME?!?!?"
'...... and this program is installed on all Astray units?'
Needless to say, the outcome of the war would take a very interesting turn once all Orb pilots activated the HK-47 Combat Artificial Intelligence program.
