While reading I kept hoping it would turn out to be a heavily modified machine cult character rather than robot legion because my mind didn't want to accept a robot legion character behaving and talking like this, but I guess it's really up for grabs in OPR how they behave or how varied they can become in their behaviour. And it definitely was a great read and the robot was very entertaining.

Liked the robot's personality, and the team up is fun too

Literally laughed out loud multiple times while reading this. I love me some robot snark, and I also appreciated how the story was really focused on Crystal and Samblar starting to trust each other and work together instead of trying to squeeze that in amongst action sequences.

That has to be the most human Robot warrior personality I've seen in awhile, like they just uploaded Hudson from Aliens and then made him freeware for Elf Roboticists to install for that USMC training emulation Elves know so well. Amused me though, so big ups for that!

So, from an intellectual perspective, I'm intrigued by your subversion of the "emotionless robot" trope. On the other hand, what you've ended up with is something basically unrecognizable to me. If you'd been able to contrast Crystal's behavior with other RL individuals, this could have been a way to make them an interesting individual, but as it is, I'm left without something that is recognizably OPR.
