You're asking the wrong person. I read the story, I didn't pay any attention to the game mechanics.

Yes, due to our training session with Koujirou.

We Shall Wake to Sanity
Legion of One came up after we looked at an empty, puppeted frame, thought of Gate, and the possible strategic implications of that combination.
The skill description is woefully bare.
As for Wave Force, the reason why it takes a body part is that it requires massive Impeller density to cast. And Impeller density is higher in expressed components (more so the more complex they are seems like), but is the absolute highest in the single most important (and possibly complex?) part of a Valkyrie, which is her body.
Thus, you have to form the Wave Form either right next to your body, or in it.
If the Impeller remains that dense when the body part is separated... no idea.

Not true according to very old WoG

-5 world also receive a huge boost to the cast's combat abilities, using them as a basis on what Valks can normally do is not a good idea.

Which was based off the quest running on dice, and doesn't say anything about them being able to do things that would be impossible.

Ohwait, I misread what the argument is about.
Yeah, we hope that Anna can take the "cost half an arm" part of WF, but other than that we're not exactly sure how it'll go.
Also, "Dual Cast" is a -5 only iirc.
apparently. Impelle
I just found this:
Also, on Valkyrie battleships and arcologies:

[X] Wait. STRATNET's assessment appears correct. You will hold, unless something goes seriously awry. You should do your best to not place your squadron in danger, the drones are quickly replaceable and expendable. Keeping your ability, or that of your Heavy Particle Projectors to make such long range attacks through terrain secret will be strategically significant in the medium term future.
-[X] Specify by what 'previous combat.' Follow directive to the letter.
Anna here is a soldier and right now its more important to follow orders in the field than personal opinions. She can still work on to say no when she's not in combat. Not being by Sandra's side is bad but disobaying military orders is way worse.

Such paranoia! That's right. Maybe we should follow the AI's description to the letter? Also did an Addendum.

I expect Durga telling them off.
Ugh need to time travel forward yearsss.

I disagree. Anna is actually more comfortable challenging orders in combat than out of it. And she has a good chance of being better than the system meant to guide her. Tamping down on her urge and judgement now makes it harder for her to question the orders she gets when she has less expertise on the subject.
She can go off like a loose cannon now and submit an 800 page paper about why STRATNET was being dumb later.
Oh, it's just the usual Thread Madness as the withdrawal really start to set in and the posters become desperate to keep the thread going for a little longer.

On the other hand if she doesn't immediately show herself she might be able to bag a good kill when the Antags are sure she isn't their.

If she has better judgement than the system then it would be better to follow her insticts then. However for me its that we don't know her privileges and authority that makes this messed up. We don't know if she has the authority to make her own decision on the battlefield. In Part 7 she had "United Nations Air Force Lieutenant (OF-1)" on her own profile. Meaning that if she would go against a higher ranked officer, nevermind an AI, it would still be strict punishment or something others could hold over her later.

Keep in mind we have also been informed that as Valkyrie #1 she still has the effective rank of "superior=yes".
Which would probably mean that as long as it is not abused and its Annas instincts are good so any use of Rank is validated by good results, then it'll probably be excused. Especially if Anna remains humble about it and doesn't accidentally steamroll any ambitious up and coming officers with more pull than Sandra, the collective corps of Valkyrie Instructors of Perth and any other sympathetic movers and shakers who've taken notice of Anna Sanchez.

People have been contemplating that and the answer thus far is: Who knows?

Spoken word too ambiguous, Anna needs to feed a graph into the algorithm and then walk through it. Output is still several hours worth of densly polysyllabic jargon.
For efficiency it is compressed, so it sounds like modem noises, and gives non-Ace valks headaches trying to process it.
The question i have to ask is what exactly could they do to meaningfully punish her with out out right alienating her.

Ask her to run a dozen laps without her impeller replacing her autonomic functions such as her cardiovascular system.
Though, to be fair, that's more of a 'cool and unusual' punishment, and might turn her away from the concept, however vague, that might be there in regards to allowing her autonomic functions to, you know, actually function when in a non-combat situation.

Stall her promotions. Give her lectures on how disappointed they are. Take away her chance to even get this close to the fighting in the future. Remove her from the list of persons eligible for relief work in the Line 3 areas. Lots of things, really.

Issue with that is that they're just crippling themselves without really punishing Anna.
Stall promotions? Why would she care?
Lectures? Most likely to work, but it's either gonna be responded to with "But I killed the Antagonists really well" and alienate her, or whatever psychological trauma that results from causing human deaths will outweigh any sort of lecture and it would just become "try and comfort her and keep her from going apeshit."
Stop her from fighting or doing relief work? You're, again, just crippling yourself. Anna's such a valuable piece that she basically allowed the (re)construction of an entire fucking arcology, and STRATNET previously determined she'd have the best effect on the war being on a 24/7 posting in the most brutal front. And if you go "well here's an exception to your punishment", then it's a worthless punishment because you're still letting her do the thing you're preventing her from doing.
