Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act II: Deconstruction

Special-1: S47I31

A long, long time ago, in a factory on a distant planet.

In a large tank of an unknown fluid, a four winged creature was being cut apart and put together with drills and saws, having mechanical parts installed onto it.

You would easily mistake it for just a machine, for no trace of it being biological in any way can be seen from an outsider's perspective.

As the finishing touches were made, it awakened for the first time.

???: <3rd generation Tetramorph unit S47I31 online.

Running system diagnostics...

All systems functioning within expected parameters.

Construction of unit S47I31 is completed, commencing transfer to training program.>

S47I31: (?)

With its very first experience in its life being an unknown voice speaking unknown sentences, concepts it had yet to even understand yet, it was very confused to say the least.

No matter how much it looked in all directions at the same time thanks to the multi-vision optics installed all over its mechanical frame, it did understand any of the gathered information.

It did not fear for its life however, for it has nothing to fear losing...yet.

Soon enough, information was downloaded into its database during transport to another facility.

It understood many things immediately, and yet it didn't at the same time.

All it knows for sure, is to follow the commands, which is 'good', or risk failure, which is 'bad'.

S47I31 crash landed in rocket jet mode while on fire, with crippled wings.

Another round of training was just completed.

This time, it was a simulated battle against an elite Dragon squadron.

S47I31 was carried away by machines after having the flames put out, still stuck in rocket jet mode due to the damage.

The others who fell from the sky weren't so lucky, the machines prioritise putting out the fires burning the ones still online, which were few.

Returning to the hangar, where it and its fellow survivors would be repaired to engage in more combat simulations.

Many were already there, having flown in and landed in strider knight mode.

As the doors closed, S47I31 could see with its non-damaged optics that the fallen were dragged off by other machines to somewhere else.

A quick search through the database revealed that they will be recycled to make more of them.

Any combat data they possess will be analysed and used to improve the training regime.

Nothing will be wasted for the sake of The Father's mission.

S47I31: (...But what is the mission?

Current mission: Finish training and await deployment.

Understood.)

On a remote planet, with a fortress made by the Dragons, the troops stationed there suddenly received a warning from a nearby patrol squadron.

"Incoming Tetramorphs!"

But before they could properly respond, the outpost was bombarded from orbit.
