Lol, jk. It would be weird of her to keep her own arm (unless she was planning to put it on ice).

I wonder, what will happen to Atlas' government with the scandal of Atlas' military firing on its own troops? I imagine Atlas is a kind of Germany, horriblely repentant for its past and seeking to atone. When word gets out of this, they protest the military. Either they go against the entire military and its focus or ask to make more Atlesians soldiers over replacing them with easily hacked Knights and Paladins (btw, is the capital city still called Mantle?). Given how much stock it has in drones and the fact that Atlas is on a northern winter continent I often interpret Atlas as being influenced by both America and Russia. Winter's icy cold demeaner is inline with what Russia officails would believe to be the proper way for a supperior to behave, as she only truly seems kind and caring when she's alone with Weiss and no one else is around to see them. The American influence can be seen in the fact that they maintain the strongest millitary aresenal and are developing technology that will reduce the anount of troops needed on the front line. Aside from that they also want to help other kingdoms with military aid but despite their noble intentions they casn appear to be unwelcomed occupiers.

I'm guessing that the reason that the Atlas Mechs and CCT where so easy to hack (Roman only need to upload a virus from only one access point), is becuase while Remnant seemed to have experienced a world war around 80 years prior to the start of the series, Remnant hasn't had a cold war, which is what cuased America and Russia to develop serious spy and sabotage skills. In fact when America learned that Soviet Union was stealing American echnology and stamping their flag on it, they embed maleware into their own software that was designed to regulate oil pipes that would go off after so many cycles with out receiving a key command to be disabled. Time passes and an major oil pipeline in Russia that used the stolen software Explored with enough force to be seen from space. Back to Remnant, maybe Atlas will hire or give reduced sentences to black hat hackers that where caught the same way America did to some major hackers to improve it's cyber security.
