"In our favor, hopefully." Still, she's staring ahead, her grip on the steering wheel tight.

Akira is quiet for a time... it's clear that her casual approach to things is bothering her companion. "I'm sorry if I'm being too casual... I'm not used to things mattering... Where I come from it's pretty easy to fix any mistakes you make. I don't think I was quite internalizing how it seems like that's less the case here."

"...You're fine with me. I'm usually pretty casual." She sends a grin Akira's way, her posture relaxing. "Stuff's permanent here for most people - usually not for YoRHa, the new units, though they'll get pissy if you make them 'waste resources' because you talked one of their units into participating in some research..."

"Research like how you wanted to take me apart?"

"Some androids have a proper respect for the advancement of science."

"If your people built them I wouldn't expect taking them apart to yield new knowledge. Am I missing something?"

"YoRHa's the same side as me, but for some reason they didn't put me on that weapon development committee. And the group they did put on it are very sloppy about their stress testing, just as a professional opinion."

"Ah, that makes sense, my siblings and I have had to change the things we've made so many times when they didn't work the way we expected."

"I know they've done like, three versions of YoRHa soldiers? And YoRHa are already a next gen built on lessons from earlier androids. But they could've done so much more... And could've told me what they're doing. I can exploit vulnerabilities with the best of them."

"There's always room to improve." She agrees cheerfully.

"But improvements are better when I'm on the case."

She giggles. "I wouldn't know but you certainly sound confident."

"Want me to show you what I can do?"

"As long as it doesn't involve trying to take me apart."

"Machine lifeforms only this time! Promise."

"Sounds fun then. There's still so much I don't know about this world."

"Awesome! I just need to find a good group then..."

"Oh, you're going to take apart more of the robots from the opposing faction? Sounds fun. Maybe I should test how effective some of my weapons are."

"Sounds like educational fun!"

"It does." She bounces a little in her seat.

She giggles. "Any sensory powers in your lineup for scanning for enemies?"

"Not really, most of my exotic senses were from being tied into how things worked back home. With some work I might be able to calibrate my entity detector but it won't be able to tell me what things are if I don't tell it first and I don't think durability here is enough like home to repurpose my senses for that."

"Awww..."

"It just means I'll be relying on your extensive expertise."

"I'll be nice and share some of it, even."
