That was why SHM-P00 didn't have her curse activate when she slipped into her craft. Instead, she merely seated herself in as AKN-10D0 had, and allowed the connections to be made to her flesh. There was no attention paid to any pain, as it did not serve her in any way that would help the Unity. Soon, she was one with the machine, and her senses were part of it. Her eyes became the sensors, her hearing and voice were the communications array, and her legs were the engines, so to speak.
So, she found it quite easy to receive her wingmate's message, and understood it immediately.
Not that she had any doubts that it was true. She knew that she had a wonderful body, with full and heavy breasts, a small waist, a firm pair of buttocks, and shapely legs. Had she been assigned to some sort of sexual activity, like breeding new units for the Unity, she knew that she could not only do well, but she could supply superior births. Then again, if she had been used as some sort of sort of sexual plaything for free males to use to relieve their primal urges, she was certain that she would have been in great demand, and wouldn't have had any problems in doing either thing. In fact, she would have had little problem getting into a sexual encounter with AKN-10D0, with the other unit sucking on one of her breasts as she fondled the short haired unit's reproductive opening.
Still, she could also agree with AKN-10D0's sentiment, as she understood how powerful she was. Her body was a finely trained fighting machine that had been brought up under a regimen that was tough, and created sleek warriors that had all sorts of skills. It had given her a more than healthy physique that was useful to the Unity, though she had not trained for that purpose. She had practiced the Art as part of her heritage, as part of being the Village Champion, and as part of dealing with what happened around her Airen.
But that was all from 'Before', when she was just another animal that did not know the glory and pleasure of the Unity. What happened 'before' didn't matter at all, as it didn't serve the Unity, and if it couldn't be wiped from her mind, it was going to be abandoned to the darkest pit of forgetfulness that she could find. The only thing that her mind needed to think about was how to best act on the Unity's behalf, as it was her purpose in existence to do only that. In fact, any memory of the person that she'd been was fading away from the assimilation process, and she was now merely a living machine, rebuilt and designated to pilot a mecha in defense of the Unity.
So, she acknowledged AKN-10D0's communication, and agreed with the sentiment. SHM-P00 didn't know if they had known each other before assimilation, but that didn't matter. The important thing was that the two of them were going to work together to fend off the enemy. Self preservation was only as important as it would be useful in keeping the units acting to keep themselves from being foolishly damaged, or destroyed. Otherwise, they were ready to give their all at a moment's notice, and couldn't conceive of any other path for their lives.
It was what they had been remade for, after all.
