Um. Thinking about this, it occurs to me...
- Cores were originally made by the Antagonists (we think??) - so the Antagonists at least knew (if not know) how to make cores.
- Core-babby Symbie.
- No, not quite. But she's a new "core" that none of the others have talked to before. Aren't assumptions grand?
- "Taylor" is very bad at humaning - to the extent of "Antagonists do not intentionally infiltrate."
- Symbie refers to her as "mommy".
This story is juggling so many wonderful kabooms that could so beautifully kaboom. =D
(edit: 'core-babby' vs 'babby-core'...which one flows best?
)

See, here's the fun part: would the other Cores bother to tell humans that Symbie isn't 'one of them' if they found out? I'm straddling the line between them not caring to talk to humans and not quite able to fully think the way humans do, hence the feelings Pilots often get rather than 'Hey, listen!' popups.
Also, I'm not sure Antagonists know how to make Cores, at least this version. It's implied earlier that the Cores were designed to evolve, and broke away on their own. And Symbie was an Antagonist-given design altered by space whale magic. So who knows?

Wasn't there a scene like that in canon? Where Taylor goes up to a bunch of impressionable grade-schoolers and tells them that drugs are fantastic... in the context of telling them why drugs ruin your life?

The two Valkyries cautiously opened the door to Maker's home and stared at the lurking form within. Honestly, it wasn't that impressive. It just looked like a creepy, pupilless dog with a head of brown human hair.
And then it opened its mouth.
"Big brother... Edward?"
"No. And fuck you," Elise replied, seemingly on reflex.

The girl in exile squinted at the haphazardly discarded needles surrounding the bed she'd awoken in, her vision still refusing to stabilize. There wasn't even a sharps container available.
"Wow. Symbie really did not do me any favors. And to think I'd thought she skipped all the rebellious phases."

Shapira suppressed all non-essential body functions as Sanchez and Hebert stared deeply into each other's eyes. Sure, they might be exchanging designs, but it was the principle of the thing!

Terror Drone #7, otherwise known as the Simurgh, turned to stare at the empty space where one of its wings used to be. How could her component shards have utterly failed to see anything? :MOTHER: was no longer around to override them.
By popular agreement, the components in question decided they didn't want to be forced to replay the moment over and over and over and over until That Song drove them all utterly mad.

"Why are the sims just throwing up an error for the mass value?" "Value overflow?" "That's ridiculous and you know it." "Do not question the works of the Great You–" "Don't make me put you back to bed." "Oooh, I can help!" "...Kaja, who hurt you?"

"Am I even a side character at this point? Have I just been demoted to background character?"
"Nobody cares, Koji!"

The two Valkyries stared at the girl who was so out of it that she couldn't even focus long enough to meet their gazes.
"I am Root."
"You're on roots, that's what you are."

Decimator stared atits her hands. Her five-fingered, squishy, fragile human hands, and the skirt-uniform beyond them. She now had a mouth and used it to scream.

"No."

"Do we even have the budget to keep doing these? They're basically extra scenes at this point."
"What's a budget?"

Did I miss something? Why is it a reflex? Is this some FMA reference I don't get?
Oh I know this one!!
I wonder what the Valkyries will think of this song?
She's on FLOWERS not roots!!
BIG DIFFERENCE!
Flowers are pretty and colourful and smell nice and roots are all wood-like and filled with sand and dirt an ugly.

Yes it is. It's a reference to a really heartbreaking scene in FMA that people like to meme on. "No, and fuck you" is more or less the canonical response to Nina-Posting and it's generally considered in really poor taste to spring Nina on people.
Naturally, it seems to be a biweekly occurrence in meme threads just because it pisses people off.

Is that a series, or just you saying you want 322 omakes total?
I don't think this has had any updates smaller than 800 words, and the next will be over 4K.
Unless you mean the scene-flashes, in which case I will point out that the Threadmark is labeled bloopers. #NoRegrets

There is a Takamachi Nanoha of 2814. I feel that's overkill though.

Okay, I've been wondering this for a while. We know an arcology requires a Core to operate...
...Is there a human down in the bowels of each of the damn things like the proverbial Child of Omelas to keep the place online and happy for everyone else?
If there is, I can't imagine they can ever leave...

The term is "mayor" and as far as I can tell their life situations are fine.
What seems to be the officer problem?
An arcology does have a Mayor Valkyrie who is synched up to the core of the facility, but they are able to desync if need be. Most don't because, you know, impeller n shit, but they can. Also, the Valkyrie Mayor is free to move around her arcology freely and presumably their living conditions are fine, because again pissing off the huge fuck-off fortress capable of withstanding a siege of Antagonists for months is a bad idea. if you do piss them off then have fun being passive aggressively ground to dust under the heel of bureaucracy for doing so, seeing as they are the highest form of command within their arcology barring an active combat situation or orders from on high. Also, the title of the mayor position seems to be Lord Mayor [Name].

I am trying to place the cultural significance the average citizen would have of learning that instead of a Lord Mayor some backasswards cult had a drugged up girl chained to a bed to maintain a decrepit and failing Arcology. Are they viewed as politicians? An environment as in abusing them akin to dumping 60 tons or so of oil into the ocean? Saviors and Guardians? Royalty? I read the quest a few months ago but I don't recall anything about Lord Mayors.
Is Taylor their version of Earth-chan?

I don't think there's a real-world equivalent, obviously, but I can imagine a few emotions and reactions...
It's a drugged up, abused teenager - Rage at the leaders there, disgust at the treatment, pity of the girl
Made to serve in a place that acts as their home and shield - All the emotions you'd expect from hearing of a slave, outrage in corrupting the purpose of an arcology (protection and safety)
Being used to further experiments in a place in the heart of the fighting - More abuse to incite disgust, outrage at inhuman experiments, outrage at making a Mayor's job that much harder
Who ultimately cracked so hard that even in her state she killed (nearly) everyone involved - Pity and fear about the girl, uncertainty, some vindication.
Yet remains coherent enough to assist (or not actively attack) UN forces - Pity? Respect? Confusion? Hard to pin down here.
Ultimately, I don't see this info getting out of ridiculous classification anytime soon.. but I'd predict a perfect storm of righteous outrage and call to action I'd usually reserve for wide-scale atrocities.
