"The company’s #ALITA system will consist of 16 launch pads, equipped with 64 drones. It will be ready by October and capable of watching for incoming drones, automatically launching and travelling towards the target at 450 kilometres per hour before taking out everything from small drones to helicopters."
So there is a #scifi inspiration
But it's not the #Terminator
it's the classic Japanese #cyberpunk #manga "Battle Angel Alita" with its cyborg anime teenager. later a Robert Rodriguez movie

#QuestionOfTheDay #FavCharacterAtoZ
Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "C"?
Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favorite.
Note: Captain/Commander/etc only count if that's a proper name & not just a rank. Captain America/Marvel, Captain N are their proper hero names so they count, but Captain Picard/Kirk do not.
Include the hashtag #FavCharacterAtoZ also, so we can easily group the answers.
Also add the hashtag #FavCharacterC so we can sub-sort the answers too.

The girls also have a booth where they're selling custom hand-made plushies! It's hard to tell what some of them are, but at least some of the students tried (unlike a Tomo).

While welcoming students to the fairy tale class, Osaka runs into a foreigner! She's having a little trouble understanding him though, but luckily Yukari arrives just in time to help out!
