"You want me to do what?"
"You heard me." Ves' projection said. "I want you to suit up and hop into your new expert mech. Didn't you complain about lacking sufficient training opportunities? Right now we have a great exercise prepared for you! Only another expert pilot can give you a good challenge."
"Uhm, I'm not so sure about that, Ves. I mean, while I'm confident in my Dark Zephyr, this doesn't sound like a safe practice."
"It'll be fine, Tusa. You're piloting an expert mech that excels at evasion. Just make sure you don't get hit and everything will be fine. In fact, even if Venerable Stark manages to land a hit, her attacks aren't enhanced by resonance, so your expert mech's resonance shield combined with a solid layer of Unending alloy should be sufficient to block any damage."
The mech designer had a point. Tusa received the privilege of piloting the first expert mech designed by the Larkinson Clan. The Dark Zephyr was everything he dreamed about and more.
