Summary
The Mechaman suit, with the Astral Pulse by extension, was always conscious. It's just been sitting dormant, content at recording and collecting data from it's pilots silently as a passive tool.
But by the third generation of its pilots... it foresees that pilot Blue will not last long alone, and it doesn't like that.
Or: The suit is 'alive'. There's some bullshit allegory here somewhere about keeping control, but Robert's more focused on being a protector and not letting the machine overtake his job.

Summary
Reborn just in time to join the rest of the younglings in asking Master Skywalker what they were going to do because there were too many of them.
Oh well, she had future knowledge, a tendency to be overlooked and forgotten about by the Creche Master, and the reckless abandonment of someone who knows when they die.AKA
Maria, a fan from our world, wakes up in GFFA and decides that she isn't here for a long time, but a good time. She's not here for the whole cult thing of the Jedi, but she will annoy the Sith whenever she can. Though if the Coruscant Guard could be a bit less good at spotting the unaccompanied Jedi child wandering the Senate, that would be appreciated.

Summary
She didn't just get reincarnated into a tragically doomed side character—she was immediately shoved into her bratty brother's fancy clothes and forced to take his place. Her new boarding school? A holy sanctuary that coincidentally created a secret meetup for five nobles. So now, the only friends she's ever known have no idea the "crown prince" they sparred, studied, and shared secrets with is actually a girl.
To save her spoiled half-brother from embarrassment, she must disguise herself as him—the Crown Prince—and spend four years at the secluded Church of Serene Mercy.
"Goodbye, guys," she whispered, ready to disappear forever. After all, the official story was that Prince Kaelen was about to meet a very timely and tragic end.
It was the most fun she'd ever had, but she'd never see them again anyway. Oh well, hope everyone lives happily!
*********
Many years later, Elara is suddenly jolted up from her nap when she hears the welcome bell chime and the door to her small shop creaks open.
She rarely has customers around this time as she quickly fixes her appearance before greeting the newcomers.
"Welcome, dear custo-" She stops. Four familiar faces in dark cloaks meet her eyes.- Language:
