Nekovalkyrja Upgrade Order
The last time Yui pulled something like this in such a manner was with the YE 28 Species Restriction Order. When that was announced it caused a backlash, including many officers and soldiers leaving the SAoY over it due to being forced to upgrade. So, I've come to question the logic behind this newest order and if it is a repeat of the YE 28 SRO.
While I understand a Military's need to upgrade its weapons to stay competitive, we're not merely talking about guns. We're talking about people as well. With this Order, Yui has essentially stated thus:
1: If you die, you're not going to be re-spawned in that body. Chances are you're going to be forcefully respawned in a newer body.
2: You'll be punished for not switching your body to the 33. Won't receive promotions, rewards or pay increases as such. So in other words, if you had done something worthy of praise, you wouldn't receive it. Unless you upgrade. If you don't, chances are they'll strap you down and do it. Discharge you, or prison time.
3: Yui's done it, so you should to.
Looking at it from an IC Standpoint, not all Neko, despite how the wiki article is worded would likely want to transfer to another body this includes other species. Reasons can vary widely in this. OOCly, one also has to question what are the advantages of the NH-33 bodies over the older counterparts beyond forced OOC obsolesce? When looking at the Comparison Chart between the NH-27/29, and NH-33 (Tennyo/Eihei) are non-existent.
From the wording of the NH-29/33 pages themselves the 33 seems to be an attempt to try to 'integrate' itself into society. This is accomplished through compulsory "De-weaponization", removal of the SACN Nodule, and their body converted to NH-31 Mikan strength levels. The timeframe is one hour.
This however seems to contradict the "Nekovalkyrja are weapons" topic that was so flush in the Senate earlier in the year. They are still Nekovalkyrja, they have all the Nekovalkyrja abilities still save for strength and PANTHEON access. So in reality they are still a very real threat to others of their kind and Yamataians alike.
Their bodies also contain more rudimentary circulatory systems in that a heart is included. Kidneys are also included. I believe the NH-29 had neither of these things, instead relying on a full-bodied arterial layout making it highly resistant to cardiovascular damage or shutdown.
Detoxification also seemed to be handled in different manner in that alcohol and toxins were broken down on the spot rather than be filtered to kidneys. Which can also be further damaged and decrease the Nekovalkyrja's effectiveness.
The only marked differences are the above, including a spleen which releases femtomachines to repair damage the 33 sustains. The parasitic contingency, and ability to breed with Yamataian, Neko, Nepleslian and so on. (However I think the 29 could also become pregnant from them as well. But don't quote me.)
Energy expenditure would also be increased due to the utilization of solid waste disposal, the growth of additional hair (Body hair), and fingernails.
Moving on, the NH-27 and NH-33 Eihei, incorporating some of the above into this. The 27 and Eihei share markedly similar characteristics with almost tacked on 'upgrades'. The 27 could accomplish the Subdermal or Epidermal armor in a similar fashion through Hemosynthesis and 'Penny-eater' abilities. So again the only difference is the Parasitic Contingency.
So I am left wondering how it is advantageous for a warrior to do this. To go from an effective form to one with likely more vulnerabilities (Tennyo) just because they were ordered to.
Not only that, but Yui is effectively telling Nepleslian, and Geshrin soldiers their bodies are no longer good enough (YE 28 SRO again) to be a part of the SAoY. So they must upgrade or get out.
