In spite of the presence of a wizard’s workbench, the computer science station to Rivet’s left was where most of the “magic” would happen. It was occupied by Rainy Creek, an earth pony mare of such generic appearance nopony could ever remember the specifics of her looks. Try as anypony might, anypony trying to describe her could only ever come up with terms like “generic” or “normal”. Ironically it made her stand out quite a bit, but only when thought about later on, never while she was present in a room where she could be seen.
Well that's paranoia inducing
“That’s a good point, March. I’m certain everypony here is familiar with the theory of Embodied Cognition.” Rivet said just to make absolutely sure his other two team members knew it as well.

She huffed and sat back down with a bitter grunt. “Besides. What if the war is over during this thing’s operational lifespan? Do we really want to make a machine that can only ever be for war when that machine is also a person? Or at least functionally a person? Shouldn’t we do what we can to ensure that whatever it eventually comes to enjoy, it can at least try and pursue it?”
A very good point
Balanced stood up and stretched his hindlegs as much as the small lab permitted. “Just say the word, Rivet, and I’ll pop home and grab it. We slap it on our robot and it would be able to use telekinesis. That’s a major tactical advantage that’s in the spirit of the robot’s main design.”
Now that would be quite useful
Rainy shook her head immediately and gave Rivet a terrified look. Her eyes caught Lab J’s dim light and glinted green as she looked into Rivet’s eyes.
Rivet frowned, nodded slowly, then rubbed the side of his head. “Uh… okay. Sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude. You can stay.”
I feel like my paranoia just got justified
If she wasn’t the very image of a patriotic Equestrian computer-scientist with a brilliant life ahead of her, then what was she?
Holycrap! Having seen your videos, I think I found the part where we learn why the enemy is evil... Of course, there are also hints that their own side is doing some pretty sketchy stuff as well, but at least in theory it's to win the war against that.
I wonder if the robot will be one of the characters or if the design team even survives that boot I can hear whistling down...

The look was so similar to the comic book’s general aesthetic Rivet decided to paint the armor plates the same dark emerald green as the main character’s armor, as seen on the book’s cover. White, dark emerald, amber, and black. It fit well.
Sadly the reference has escaped me.
The mare was above suspicion. Her small tweaks here and there went unquestioned. Nopony had any reason to suspect Rainy had her own agenda. Why would they?
Oh crapbaskets... Never seen Evangelion, but I'm nonetheless reminded of NERV's sabotage of the alternate robot that company was building...
