interesting I wonder if those were actual changelings or if this was part of some equipment they are wearing?

Sorry for the delay in response, been a crazy month! As will become more clear as you read on, Swift definitely has a bit of an impulsive nature to her. And prone to letting her emotions get the better of her. She definitely took a major gamble with this, especially with how little was known about this particular strain and infection at the time. One on hand she incredibly lucked out, but there’s another reason why things turned out the way they did. Which has been hinted at but won’t be explicitly stated until far later. So I won’t get into that potential spoiler territory at the moment. As far as Handy, definitely. Brain damage has a tendency to have long term repercussions. Scarlet’s mistrust is multi-fold, but a demonstrably dangerous stranger she’d just met is definitely in the mix.

There’s a bit more going on than MoM just coming calling, with their intrusions. But that won’t come up until waaaaay later. Rest assured, that’s not the last that will be heard from them. As for the Steel Rangers and Enclave, there is an old saying that you can learn things by what HASN’T been said, about as well as from what HAS been said. This is one of those cases. There’s a reason why the Steel Rangers were explicitly named, while the Enclave [ and who they really are ] was omitted. Planting seeds of doubt and mistrust early can bare fruit far later. While creating an instant sense of desired suspicion.

LOL! Yes you did. +1 clever pony? Or was I just not being that clever and too preDICtable? XD
And as far as the Stable AI’s personality, you are definitely knocking on the right door. But the exact answer to what’s going on is a BIT different / probably not what you’d be expecting at this point in time. And as far as getting led around by his sheath, this is actually one of the first hints of his personal views regarding sexual interactions. The more observant reader might be able to figure it out from this chapter and this hint ^, but it’ll be explained in detail much later on.

Ohhh you caught that did you? Yes. Yes she was. She WAS a flesh and blood mare at one point in her life. And her personality is still of that. In fact she didn’t even bring Handy into it until she started to get concerned about the old Stable’s systems overloading. As far as 68’s AI goes… you could say there’s an EMERGING personality…? And, yes, that’s a hint / foreshadow for something far off that hasn’t even been released yet ;)
As far as Handy’s situation goes, that actually touches on a large segment of this story as a whole. Probably way more than you intended. And is, actually, one of the main reasons why this story isn’t being told in first person POV like Kkat’s original Fallout Equestria [LittlePip’s] or Somber’s Project Horizons [Blackjack’s] had been done. In this format I can give information to the reader, so that they have more of a glance of the bigger picture, while the characters themselves do NOT. And, as such, it allows the readers to see the mistakes that are being made by each and every one of the characters in the stories as they work with limited information. Like in this instance you’ve brought up, Handy went down a train of thought and landed at an answer that made sense to him given what HE knew. Though, as you’re suspecting, and I can confirm, he’s wrong. As far as Gearing’s concerned at this point in time, this is something new that he’s dealing with. It’s not HIS intention for him to stay there with his special somepony that's been stuck there since the war. But that’s the way it looks to Handy. [ Also, I’ve given another foreshadow / hint in this response for something that’ll come up much later. Enjoy puzzling over the puzzle of puzzleness ;)]

I can confirm that, at the point of Gearing joining, Stormfront has/had no less than three Changlings counted among their number. So it wasn't merely a matter of equipment.
