[[Gainer is finally getting around after loafing about in the infirmary and being a broody little punk during the week's worth of crappy music.

He's generally out and about, carrying his game setup with him. Easily pestered.]]

[[Eventually, sometime over the communicator thingies.]] Alright... I don't know where you ran off to Adette, but... I'm not mad anymore. I guess it was that music or whatever.

If you want to try playing the game again, that's fine.

Maybe we can get Cynthia to play too. But she's not going to go easy on you. She managed to beat me after all. But, she's the only other person with the game that I know of.

*pokes at your arm* Finally feeling better, champ?

Yeah. Mostly because I've got all those bandages off and that terrible music is over.

I kinda liked that music...I won't deny it was starting to get overplayed, though.

But, hey, now that you're better, you're all set for a rematch in Overbattler, right? I even got some of the tech nerds to add in some of the units on the Chalice into the game code for more realism!

How'd you manage that? Don't they need to do a network-wide update for that?

I don't mind a rematch either, but I wanting you to play the game with Adette so she'll get off my back about teaching her. It's easier to show her when she's playing against someone else.

Mmm...the world's network has been down for a while, so...this kinda thing only affects the local net. It's a lot easier to work with that way.

That's how the guy explained it, anyway. I'm not totally sure what he means by it, but I can use a Zaku II in it now.

There's still local networks. I was able to play with you while I was in Siberia. I think there might be on here in Africa too, since there's a big Federation base here.

Who knows.

Why... would you play in a Zaku? Well... they would be bigger than Overmen, but, it's not like they get an advantage over anything for it.

Why not play a Zaku? It's the pilot's skill that really matters in the end, right?

It may be a rather basic unit, but it has all it needs to take down stronger suits.

Not really. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but, even if Zaku are still being used, why are they so easily destroyed en masse by a single Gundam-type?

I'm pretty sure our Overmen could do exactly the same thing without much effort.

If anything, you'd just be insulting anyone who you beat with a Zaku by proving how poor they are at piloting... or... Playing actually.

It's the pilot's skill that really matters, you know. If you put a standard feddie soldier in a Gundam, and had someone like, I dunno, Char Aznble in a Zaku, who do you think would win?

And besides that, I'd also be showing up anyone who was shot down. "Oh, you've got a big, powerful Overman. How'd you let a mook shoot you down like that?"

It's hard to really answer that without actually looking at history though. I guess... Probably Char as he is now, but, back then, the Gundam would still win without prior knowledge.

I still don't see a Zaku being either of our Overmen, ever. Unless it's a ridiculous numbers game...

Even with my skills, it IS a bit of an uphill battle when I'm fighting against something crazy like Rushrod...

Ah! I almost forgot. Domi and King are both in here, now...though they don't have access to the crazy stuff like that blizzard you called up.

...I don't have access to that either... I have... no clue where that came from.

[[Because a 2nd OverSkill makes no sense...]]

I've...actually heard about that kinda thing before, it's something President Kids mentioned.

It's an ability called Overfreeze...supposedly, any Overman that belongs to something called the "OverDevil" family can use it. My Dominator has systems built specifically to counter it.

I really don't know too much more beyond that, though...

The OverDevil? King Gainer is supposed to be some sort of evil Overman?

C'mon, Gainer. Overmen aren't good or evil. It all depends on the pilot, right? I'm pretty sure it's just a name.

[[Tell that to the OverDevil himself!]]

Most of the time anyway. You never know what some of those other machines are programmed with.

By the way, who are you talking to to even get King Gainer and your Dominator in the game? Are you sure they're going to get King Gainer accurately? I'm not exactly boasting about him to the presses or anything.

I'm not really allowed to give out details on the workings of Domi, either...supposedly their animations and stats are based on previous battle performance. It's not as if they have to build the units from the ground up, after all, they're just programs.

Yeah. Well... we'll just have to see how accurate King Gainer is then.

I think Adette can wait a while to learn the game a little better.
