Alright. Like Hayato said last week, everyone who plans to fight in Zero-G needs particular training. So far we've only run into trouble with people stupid enough to fight inside colonies, but there's always a chance we'll have to engage someone in an orbital battlefield as well.

Anyone who plans to fight while we're in space, report to the hangar for training. This goes for our new Mobile Suit pilots, too. Those are designed to fight in space, but you still have to get used to the lack of gravity. Make sure you've got proper oxygen seals and install some of the Thruster Modules we bartered from Nergal if your unit isn't normally spacefaring.

[Unlike her few training sessions on the surface, of course, Calvina's assembling the crew inside the hangar. She's also going over final adjustments on Bellzelute for training - she might as well get some of her own practice in instead of just watching the kids play. It was a fairly simple task to turn the limiters up to the point where the energy weapons became simply tracers and to load the missile pods and rifle with paint rounds...]

Beauty, ain't she? I call her the Reinheit Jr. It's small, mobile, and incorporates all the elements of the NEXT it's based off of: bullet spam, heavy impact, and it even came with its own high munitions deployment device. I can't wait to try it out in Zero-G.

...I...suppose I could have paid more attention when I was building it. But I'm a pilot, not a mechanic. Keeping a machine together isn't my job, as much as breaking those of my enemies.

[He frowns]

I couldn't get the damn thing to listen to me, anyway. Wouldn't move an inch no matter how much I told the stubborn thing to.

...You mean it uses a hand-guided control system? How inefficent...and here I thought I'd found a king of space units that no one was using...

...besides that, that's how weapons on NEXTs work. You can mix and match them fairly easilly...I'm even working on some alternate weapon layouts to send for when we get back to Earth. Surely Reinheart Jr. works on the same principle?

...You arm your construction mechs with cannons?

The One Year War. I wasn't alive during that time, but I've been informed of it. But really, what was the Federation thinking? Weapons should stick to being weapons, and tools should stick to being tools.

...on the other hand, I can see the potential use for this thing in a war. A small target with high mobility is the basis behind a NEXT, after all.

Any tool can double as a weapon, I suppose.

...I've been meaning to ask you about a couple things...

First off, what can you tell me about YOUR tool? Just what's up with that blue mech...Bellezute, or sommin like that. It's unlike anything I've ever seen...are those weaponized Kojima Particles it uses?

Generic green energy, huh?

[Shakes his head. It's always either green energy or pink energy.]

It's interesting enough to catch my attention. With your permission, I'd like to poke around it a bit when I get a chance.
