Broken hunger
"Captain! Captain!" Emma and Felix are excited calling you from far away, at the other side of the dock, using your Cougar speed, you gallop and reach them before they could even wink.
"Guys are you okay?" You say looking at them worried.
"Yeah, they have given us some kind of med to makes us forget the last two days." Emma brags clearly angry
Meanwhile, Felix is looking around fascinated at the tech, he seems to be reluctant to talk about all that happened since your departure; you don't get why, but you don't pry at him.
But you forget all about them when you see your baby, your Pantera which has been seriously overhauled. It is far better than new with several technical improvements, docked with Ariana's mecha.
Ariana smiles at you looking excited both mecha "Have you seen our two babies? They have included the best of the best tech into them."
" Damn, will we have time for practice?"
Felix finally breaks his silence: "Yeah, You will have one hour of practice previous the final liftoff."
There's also tech info with the improvements added to your mecha. I recommend you study it, as you will be in practice range in about one hour from now
One hour! you rust towards the tablet and rush to learn the new specifications.
SILVERMAN'S PANTERA
Modifications Increased Speed, Upgrading the hull to adamantium, added 4 additional thrusters and an additional dark matter battery.
"Holy shit!" you squeal excitedly like you were a kid in a candy shop. This is big. Clearly, you have now the best mecha in the Feline army by far, with the cost of only one of these upgrades you could buy five cruisers.
But there are even more specialized upgrades. They added a lithe force field generator to your hull is not as effective as the gigantic versions of the heaviest mecha model, the dreadnought. In mechas, there are two ways to go or big and slow or small and fast, both have limitations and advantages that make the balance of power pretty close. This extra force field will be a nice complement for your agility and your thrusters.
And the coolest thing Adamantium claws!!, retractable same as your ones. And they can be electrified, your mecha nows really looks like a Cougar warrior.
You still remember your first training with the medium size training models used to learn the ropes and also to figure out what models will be more suited to the combat style of each pilot. As both, mecha and human has to be one; In your case, no one needed more than five minutes to notice that you were a speed pilot. those training models were so slow... and clunky. You don't even want to imagine how it should be piloting a dreadnought.
Ariana is as enthusiastic as you with her mecha, Medusa. "It is pretty, doesn't it? They enhanced her invisibility and now it is almost as faster as yours, and I got a nanowire net and disruptive fire."
Thankfully, Ariana mecha is similar to your main difference between both is combat style, she is totally focused on stealth and distance. Meanwhile, yours is a melee mecha with medium combat based on grenades and tactical bombardment.
A great combo if we trust each other. That's the key: Trust; Clearly, you have worked really well so far.
The sensation of entering a mecha cockpit is unique in the Galaxy, the neural connection makes the pilot experience each texture, the solar breeze, as a real sensation in your own skin. The small caressing of the space while flying full throttle, the thrust of your weapon in your hands and the vibration that comes from the energy field; piloting a mecha it is certainly stimulant.
The adjust to the new Pantera controls are faster than you thought it will be feasible. Probably the upgrade neural connection makes Pantera be a second skin.
The claws destroy the training dummies without any issues, it reminds your own claws what it makes fighting with them easy and organic. You are pretty confident that Pantera will do great in the real duelling.
23:40 Still twenty minutes to go
"Damn, Captain. Stop moving and looking at your watch. Time won't start to move faster magically." Emma says sounding pretty annoyed by your nervous behaviour.
"It's just my way to make my mind out of this fucking waiting, It also exorcises my doubts."
Soon, Medusa appears nearby. Her sight is one you are not used to, of course, you have hundreds of Krakens and different Octopus mechas. Still, it is weird having one as a comrade, the sleek design and the weird translucent quality of the stealth invisible coating that covers Medusa hull makes her vision alien, you also chuckle when to notice that she has put a metallic ribbon in Medusa's braids to look exactly as Ariana.
She comes to you saying: "Are you ready, Silverman? I am the same time, excited and terrified. I just want to lift off and start this finally. But, first of all, I want to say that I am really looking forward to fighting at your side. We kick ass together"
You hug her and notice down in the docking station how Emma and Felix look at both of you weird. However, you understand that suddenly working with your enemies must be difficult to understand. Maybe, you see it easier due to both of you have the same goal. Become nobles.
"Pilots go to the launch platform." The alarm system finally sounds.
You just say goodbye and walking the small distance to the launch platform. In this type of duelling is widespread to make a pirouette to conquest the fan's hearts. You pass the few minutes remaining thinking about what a stunt realise.
