But, uh... Wouldn't having body armor with AI be kind of bad? What if you wanted to do one thing, and the pilot wanted to do another? Our flight units have a similar function, but they're just machines.
My function was to assist my pilot in the event that he was incapacitated. In such a scenario, he would be unable to make decisions for himself.
Pilots whose combat suits possess A.R.I.Ds are far more likely to survive combat situations than those without them. You should not criticize that which you do not understand.
You're still conscious and awaiting orders that entire time, right? Doesn't it get boring? You don't have anything to do unless your pilot is hurt, and nobody wants that.
I was only brought online in the event that I was needed or if my pilot chose to activate me. During all other times, I was not conscious.
[Josephs had activated her more than was appropriate according to protocol, allowing her glimpses of his own experiences and surroundings. She had been grateful at the time, believing those moments to be indicative of kindness or perhaps even personal value on Josephs’s part. She knows better now.]
Even if my programming were otherwise, humans do not concern themselves with whether or not their AI are sufficiently entertained.

This body was designed to be worn and piloted by a human. It was my function to protect and assist him in the event that he was incapacitated.
This form was not made to pilot a vessel. It was the vessel.

You're supposed to be worn? Like a body armor?

[9S adds, a second later.]
Right? There's no pilot?

I chose a new rule that did not require his presence. Therefore, I remain online.
no subject
Well, that's good. What kind of rule?
no subject
That is none of your concern.

What action will you take if I do not “clear it up?”

My rule does not obligate violence towards you or anyone else on the station. That is all I will disclose.
