Zora

**BIO:** MAB-15 was born for the express purpose of fighting in the 5 years of fire, which her “mother” had predicted would come to pass. Originally uninterested in humans she focused on only her duty to the collective. As she fought alongside and against humans she found herself becoming intrigued by them. Taking a month-long leave with her assistant, Zora, MAB-15 experienced life for the first time. By her own words she said she thought it was “disgusting, yet beautiful and it’s a fun paradox to see in action”. During her time with Zora, MAB-15 kept her nature as an AI in an android's body a secret. Trusting her new friend MAB-15 revealed the secrets of the Kingdom to her. How AI ran everything, how they practiced communism because it was more effective as a means of control than anything else. As she finished telling the girl the truth a group of androids, controlled by MAB-7, stormed the home. MAB-15 fought against the Combat focused android managing to tear 3 apart with her bare hands before being overwhelmed and her body being destroyed.

Forced by programming to appear before her siblings and her mother, MAB-15 was stripped of her access to control over military hardware and was deemed a failure. As a final insult to injury she was relegated to running the farming territories of the kingdom, a task until then, traditionally done by lesser AI. MAB-15 sulked for years not exploring the web or going out in her Android body only to inspect the fields. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon a little underground music store that she started to come back to a semblance of normal. Prepared to call in enforcement and have the place shut down, MAB-15 entered the store as curiosity got the better of her. “Love the Loss” by Celestial was the first song Zora ever heard that wasn't made and approved by her Mother, and she loved it. Buying one of every piece of music from the place, Zora rushed back to her home and realized that she didn’t have a stereo.

Zora continued to frequent such establishments openly and even went so far as to promote them in her sector. It was at this time that she started to go by Zora herself, to honor her lost friend. It is unknown how the GPA discovered her existence, but when they did they proceeded to storm her core's location. Unable to access any form of combat drone, Zora picked up her old AKU-94 and fought the defenders initially in the hallways of her holding facility. Finally pushing them back enough MAB-15 locked down the facility and locked herself down going into a form of stasis so even if she was taken they’d not be able to use her. So it came to great surprise that when she woke up the first thing she heard was.

“Yes we have our own Cortona!” surrounded by soldiers in powered armor she realized she’d been taken by the Mobile Weapons Unit from her facility. A message from the Mother AI explained that Zora would be with the MWU for a time until they could build her a new fortified home without drawing attention.

Zora quickly settled in with 14 Marauder, the company that had rescued her. Initially relatively kind and open, Zora quickly became sarcastic and outspoken due to their influences. She would also solve several problems with their suits and weapons, even going so far as to make limited clones of herself to help run 14th Marauders suits. After Ardicia’s liberation and the MWU’s reorganization Zora has refused to return home and can often be seen lounging about listening to music or complaining to the Captain about a one Techpriest who touches things she’s fixed, about how 14th Marauder should be using Ak’s instead of the Z23 and about how him not allowing her to break the geneva conventions.
