*It's like a kid at Christmas getting the crazy Nerf gun he wanted but thought he'd never get.*

Alright! Finally the mech I deserve!

*Katina's in the hangar, walking around the Gespenst Mk II Kai. She already has a technician applying a fresh coat of red to it. Priorities, Katina has them.*

Everything good about a Gespenst in a package that isn't a decade old! Zoe, *she's yelling this across the hangar wherever you are* we gotta work on tweaking this thing to get it absolutely perfect!

What's this, an upgrade? The robot looks similar to your old one, but still different. It's a bit... hmm, bulkier?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

It's a whole new machine based off of the old Gespesnt frame. It may look bulky, but it outperforms the original Mk II M in every way.

[cantbeatnanoha.livejournal.com]

Aah. So you finally have a prototype to call your own, congratulations!

Is it a machine for close- or long-ranged combat? You strike me as someone who likes to make it close and personal.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

While it's a better close-ranged machine than the Huckebein, it's built for versatility. It's got Plasma Stakes built-in for melee, the F2W Cannon and Split Missiles for mid-to-long range, and plenty of room for other weapons.

[cantbeatnanoha.livejournal.com]

I guess it makes sense for a mass production prototype to be versatile. This thing is entering mass production, right?

I just realized, I ask so many questions, it's like if I was a corporate spy or something like that. Reminds me of when I talked with Subaru's older sister and she was very curious about my illusion abilities... only this way, it's the other way around.

Dammit, third time's the charm!

Awesome! This really calls for celebration!

[Have a depressed Shiro being all gloomy, running checks on the Gespenst.]

...I know I'm a newcomer...

But why do I still feel an arrow stabbing through my heart?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Limited production, most likely. The Huckebein and Lion lines are both more popular for wide-scale mass-production, while this is more likely to end up in the hands of special forces units and older pilots more used to the Gespenst.

>_<

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Oh? Whaddaya have in mind?

[[OOC: Aside from an orgy of course, that goes without saying.]]

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Ah, don't worry about it. You could probably get your hands on one of 'em in a few months if the GDF decides to order a few.

[cantbeatnanoha.livejournal.com]

That's a shame. If you ask me, Gespensts are way more cool than a Lion or a mass-produced Huckebein.

But I guess they're less cost-efficient if they're not as widely used as these other units.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

I'll say.

The Lion is really cheap and the easiest to learn to pilot, especially for fighter pilots. The Huckebein mostly just had good timing, stepping in at the right time to replace the older Gespensts.

*Did someone want a technician to paint there mecha? Here, have a Tasuku.*

Hey, Lieutenant! Cool that you got a new unit, but what exactly was wrong with the old color? The paint was still fresh and all.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Red's my color!

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Why the red? Is it your trademark or something?

[mechaotaku.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[She looks up from her work--going through the information they got from the defeated mech that the ARK fought not too long ago--toward the sound. She shouts back.]

TWEAK WHAT?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

EVERYTHING! The settings have to be perfect!

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Can't hold that against you. This looks nice. What'd you do to get it?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

It's one of the first of a special forces model Gespenst. Hauwsr got a hold of it for Silentium, but he's got some crazy new project in mind for his own personal mech so he gave it to me.

[mechaotaku.livejournal.com]

TWEAK WHAT?

[Sorry Katina, she's not fully paying attention.]

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Fun for everyone, right?

[mr-catshark.livejournal.com]

[He's just smirking.]

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Especially me.

And Hauwsr once he gets his thing made I guess.

[eyes-has-it.livejournal.com]

Good enough. *leafs through papers* I like this thing already. Can't blame you for looking like a sugar-high kid who forgot Easter's not for another couple days.
