"That's exactly why I'm choosing her..." Shane replied.
They entered the huge chamber that housed one of AEGIS-04 "Bastion."
The mech was truly like a fortress… It had thick, plated armor wrapped around a reinforced spirit-alloy skeleton. Its shoulder-mounted auto-sentry guns were currently inactive, but they still looked as if they could activate anytime…
Shane observed them for a bit and confirmed that the deployable energy barrier emitters sat docked in the back, ready to activate.
The mech didn't look too aggressive, but it definitely looked tough and capable of enduring any form of attack.
It was certainly built to hold the line.
As Shane approached the lift that would carry him to the cockpit, a few engineers noticed and stood to the side with respectful nods. One of them whispered something excitedly to another.
They seemed to be excited seeing him testing the Mech.
"Boot up diagnostics," Shane ordered. "Link me to the pilot core."
