The melee character wouldn't be entirely useless, but they would be significantly weaker (except those I mentioned before). The Night Raid would indeed be surprised when confronted by an AI. They probably wouldn't believe it at first and assume it's a trick or diversion. I don't really think the Night Raid cares about democracy. The new nation is called a kingdom in the latest chapter.

You can decide yourself if the tech can be reverse engineerd. It is possible either way (I mean the Empire can implant advanced weaponary inside people's body, create humanoid dangerbeasts and develop powerful serums and drugs).

I (and many other apparently) find Louise to be a very annoying character. She is nearly always physically and verbally agressive, a hypocrite and screams constantly for no reason. I just wanted to strangle her to finally shut her up. Ocasionally she does show a loyal and more caring side, but it's not nearly enough to save her character for me. I haven't read the manga or the Light novel, so I wouldn't know. However, having her be even more annoying would be quite the challenge. I am totally fine with her showing up briefly only to be crushed mid sentence by a heavy object. That seems like loads of fun for many who have seen the show.
