"This… is awful." Gloriana said as she grew more and more queasy. "When I designed the Riot Mark III, I never meant for this to happen. Living mechs are not supposed to be punished for the mistakes of their pilots. It is not the Riot's fault that Venerable Orfan has failed to break through up until this point. If she wants to become an ace pilot so badly, then she should first look into herself before obsessing over her mech."
Ves let out a sigh. "I get where you are coming from, honey, but I do not think this is a bad development. No matter who wins or loses, the fact that two spirits had to compete against each other in a ritualistic death match will only further imbue our work with chaos and conflict. I can tell that the living mech likes it. A long time ago, I let the mech frame absorb an Unstable Chaos Essence gem. This is the starting point of the Riot Mark III degeneration. Everything that has happened since that point has ultimately led to this situation."
