A worthy goal.

[A large blond man faces him in the hangar. Aside from the blocky green tattoos that peek out from his hairline he appears to be an ordinary human.]

I assume you will be testing yourself with a mech duel then?

[mad_copycat]

(Tatsu nods.)

Tatsu no can fight on foot. Tatsu would be using Fury but...

(Tatsu motions to the Fury which is in the middle of repairs.)

So Tatsu will be using Strayed.

[So he's to be duelling a steel lizard. The Steel Vipers would flip their lids if they knew about this.]

Then I will power down my lasers and order the techs to load marker rounds. I will see you outside in an hour.

(Tatsu nods. She had gone through the process to make the Strayed safe for mock battles before she issued the challenge.)

Tatsu be here. Tell Tatsu when ready.

Be careful, Tatsu. Even a mock battle can be dangerous with an Armored Core. Don't get yourself too damaged before a critical mission.

[mad_copycat]

(Tatsu nods seriously.)

Tatsu try be careful. But Tatsu no can back down. Tatsu issued fight so Tatsu must see through. Tatsu want to grow strong and Tatsu think this first step.

[aprimeanswer]

[Prime nods back.]

It's a shame there's no simulation chambers onboard. Otherwise I'd take you up on your offer, and see how you've grown.

[mad_copycat]

Why we no have them? Wouldn't that make it easier to train?

Bernie entered the hangar. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go along with this, scratching his head. But he couldn't help but comment...

"Hey, cool glasses!"

[mad_copycat]

(Tatsu gives a fanged smirk.)

Tatsu found them lying around Chalice. Tatsu no know why but Tatsu feel manly spirit filling Tatsu when Tatsu wear them!

[zaku_for_xmas]

"Seriously?" Bernie paused, then shrugged, "Can't possibly be magical glasses."
