Shadow at Morning wrote: Why the hell would she be exiled in the first place? She's central to Atlesian doctrine and her development is probably a several hundred billion lien project. Her remaining in their possession is non-negotiable. More, she's part of their military. The loyalties deliberately inculcated in her are to Atlas, and to their government. She wouldn't want to leave.

Nor can the other nations force Atlas to discontinue the project or keep Penny from her rightful command. How could they possibly do so? Not "exiled", unclaimed because of the potential political fallback from whatever atrocities she has done or that made her. Think "Robocop" only the world makes more sense because criminals cannot amass that kind of power because eventually crooked cops would kill them. In this world Penny may be a leap forward, but she is only an asset with the same worth of use as a hunter, only a higher materials cost.

Remember Cinders motto? "It's not about overpowering an enemy. It's about taking away what power they have."
