Ariin stood up looking over the group, speaking up to them all. "It's a test, they want to single out better fighters, cowards, and those who would take advantage. This isn't about combat it's social experiment." He told his eyes looking between them all. "What they want is to see who here would be willing to work together and stand against those who want their own personal glory." He reached to his pockets, playing nervously with the coin he kept in it at all times. "If they have us fight each other, I say we don't do it." He wait a beat gauging the response from the group before he kept going. "I'm not much in the way of experience but I grew up on Mars fighting over scraps and the right to sleep on street corner. First thing you learn if a guy beat you up and took your stuff, you never trusted him. So if their asking us to go out their and shoot each other whether it's about testing us, learning how we react, or just because they want to see how we handle combat I'm not doing it." The Martian finished shrugging. "Honestly our best bet if they order us to attack one another, we refuse. I want to trust you people, I do but I find it difficult to trust any one who would attack because a mad man in a lab coat said to do it." He drew his coin and and flipped his natural eye focus on that while his robotic one pulled back to keep an eye on the others. "I'll defend myself and work with little Elora over there if you really think fighting is the best idea. Personally though? I say we don't budge an inch, were supposed to be able to work together and fight Cruxi not other pilots. Anyone else think this is bull shit let me know, if we all stand down when this starts then they can't touch us. They can't remove nine pilots from the program and we don't need to be treated like lab rats, were human. Well mostly." He smiled a little pointing to his robotic eye.
