[Video, Hangar]

[Calvina is currently ignoring the fancy new sounds the captain is providing and busily glaring at and focusing a camera on Bellzelute. The machine is currently lacking three limbs, a head, and most of its already minimal frontal armor. At least some of it was salvageable, but the mech is about as close to totaled as she'd ever seen something get while still staying functional.]

And that is why you do not charge unknowns in a lightly armored high-mobility mech. It's only by the grace of our enemies leaving a lot of usable salvage that Bellzelute or Coustwell are going to fly any time in the next six months. This has been your training for this month, unless I decide to bring people along when I'm getting used to the third unit in this series.

Katia was about as vocal as usual about the people we fought, but between the physical similarities to our mechs and how scared the girls were when they saw the enemy, I think we've finally run across the people who created Bellzelute, Coustwell, and Granteed.
