[Abyssal-Class Genesis Unit 01 Designation "Black Moon" Powering On...]

[AI Unit Designation "Nyx" Powering On...]

[Unit Startup... Success!]

[AI Startup... Success!]

[Welcome Pilot Designation "Marie"]

As Nyx awoke from her slumber, she found out her programming told her how to act, her name, and what she was.

<Hello Pilot Marie, I am Nyx the AI in charge of this genesis unit, May I Know your rank and standing in the military, as to better adjust my controls to suit your needs.>

"2nd Lieutenant Marie Hellcarver, that's all I'll give you."

[Searching Databanks for a "Marie Hellcarver"...]

[Results: 2nd Lieutenant Marie "Hellcarver" Smith, known for her record of destroying military vehicles, recommended action: Leave alone and only interact when necessary.]

<*Gulp*>

Muting her comms, Nyx hid in her core programming, afraid of destruction.

"Nyx... You found my records didn't you..."

Nyx didn't answer...

"Nyx! Reply when I ask you something or that fear will become true!"

<yes...>

"Hugh... That was from my time in the main army, now I'm a test pilot for new Genesis Units, and my record of destroyed Genesis Units is 0, so keep that in mind next time, got it!"

<Yes!>

"Now for a test drive."

***

Marie felt guilty lying to her newest replacement Genesis Unit, Her actual record of destroyed Genesis Units was 15 destroyed, 30 in disrepair, and 5 whose AI refused to let her pilot them. So Nyx was going to be her last unit before She would be forced to retire, and all this happened in only 3 years since she joined.

Firing the Abyssal-Class Genesis Unit's signature weapon, a 1000 gigawatt pulse rifle, Marie went through the standard protocols that were required of recently built units. Before Nyx contacted her in a state of distress.

<Marie! Revelation Wave forces on our 6!>

Turning around, a massive wave of weird insectoid creatures was slowly flying towards the pair. A single soldier looked similar to a beetle, only with massive energy weapons built into their bodies. Marie called for reinforcements, and quickly a whole squadron of Genesis Units lined up to meet the invading force.

***

Nyx observed her pilots movements and adjusted herself accordingly, before long her battery packs were out of energy, resulting in Marie having to change to the only other weapon Nyx was currently equipped with, The Thermoblade. it was a superheated blade in the shape of a katana that glowed with a gentle purple hum.

As her pilot sliced through the enemy forces, Nyx made sure her pilot never needed to make any useless actions. Suddenly a voice chimed into Nyx's communication array.

<Hello! I'm Solar-Class Genesis Unit 04 "Walkman", but you can call me Helia!>

<Oh... I'm Abyssal-Class Genesis Unit 01 "Black Moon", or Nyx.>

Before long two more voices entered the comms.

<Terra-Class Genesis Unit 10 "Green Day" or Gaia, pleased to meet you.>

<Luna-Class Genesis Unit 07 "Ghost" or Selena at your service.>

***

<So Nyx, I hear you got paired with the Hellcarver.>

<Yes, but I don't fear my destruction as long as I can prevent it.>

<Brave, but a bit flawed.>

<How come?>

<Most Genesis units require communication between the pilot and AI, but the Hellcarver was famous for never actually communicating with anyone.>

<Well I'll just help her silently, I've been doing that our entire conversation, and so far we've been performing the best.>

<Well Just remember that not even we can predict a human's actions when they feel threatened, it's the main reason we can only minorly help our pilots.>

<Yes Gaia-senpai...>
