Instead she knew she was being observed by individuals who didn't care in the slightest if she was naked. Their only concerns in that regard would be the lack of protection from her not wearing armor.
T-415 was a T-1000 series styling familiar to anyone who had watched a Terminator movie. Including the Bavarian accent. About half of his flesh-covering was intact.
T-901 was a smaller, more feminine shape, with a feminine voice. Just no fleshy bits remaining.
T-421 was a patchwork collection of bits and pieces from several flying drone units.

They didn't look terribly much like defenders of mankind. In fact - T-807 and T-421 were designed as robotic soldiers to take over the job of human soldiers. T-415 and T-901 were both units designed by an enemy designated only as The Machine which had declared war on humanity.

"You'll be 'Arnold', you sound a lot like that Americajin actor," said Akane.
"I'm Arnold?" asked T-415.
"You be 'Fujiko'," said Akane to T-901. "T-807 you can be 'Bean', and T-421 can be 'Rally'."
"Why?" asked T-807.
"Because I have trouble keeping numbers straight and it's less clumsy to call you 'Bean'," explained Akane.
"As you will," said T-415. What was in a name, anyway?
