Prof. Eldform: *After finishing storing the acquired data gained from comparing the previous AI Program Models onto his pocket databank, he turns to Leowen as he arrives with his Tech Assistant.*
Oh! Leowen Dravon! You've finally arrived! We are in dire need of your assistance immediately! We must install the AI Program in one of your mechs and test it fast. We must flush out any bugs from these programs before we mass produce them to the Mythril Legion. You do remember the three states to look out for, yes?
*Before he could even respond, he would display the data from his pocket databank, showing the three caution states the AI Program may have.*AI Data1 1. Close Range Combat - May lose target, leaving faulty actions. 2. Short Life Span - Currently only works for 30 consecutive minutes. Testing will help increase this stat after more beta tuning. 3. EN = 40% - When the mech's EN is 40% of it's max EN capacity, some sort of glitch causes it to malfunction. Results include mid-combat freezing, loss of ally-unit refference, and uncontrolled flight.

Leowen rolled his eyes, "You dont think I know all of this sh*t allready? The Mechs are on my moving platform outside. Lets get this thing over with so I can get paid." Leowen turned and walked out the door, yelling over his shoulder "tell your daughter to get her a** down to the front of the lab, I'll meet her there"

Yuri: *Arriving from the teleporter in a quick, dimmed flash within the machine, she steps out, still in her pilot suit. Under one arm, her helmet reflecting the bright, neon colors of the Beams from rifles in the weaponry research facility, in the other, was the AI Program's Prototype Model. It read, "AI-05" on the sides, as well as the Prototype labeling. She had spotted Leowen almost immediately as she had arrived, and went to greet him.*
You must be Leowen Dravon. I'm Yuri Eldform. Father has told me about your mission, and I am here to help you install this AI Program in your mech. Lead the way to your mech so that we can test out this prototype.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prof. Eldform: *Transmission to Kujaviak.*
Hello, General Kujaviak. The AAMCI ( Advanced Artificial Mechanical Combat Intelligence ) Project will take a little longer. We currently have one man beta testing the Program. If the Legion is in need of more men in the battle field, perhaps Leowen Dravon may help.

She sounds like a friggin machine..
Not saying anything, Leowen just walk off in the direction of the Mech Carrier. Opening a controll panel on the side of the vehicle, leowen punched in the password and the cover of the mechs retracted. Heaving himself up onto the carrier Leowen walked over to the the Valkyrie model, Freyja, and opened its copit hatch.
"Here, lets get that peice of s**t in here so we can get the show on the road"

Yuri: *She steps into the cockpit, and sets the AI Program on the pilot seat. After strapping the AI Program onto the chair with a special seatbelt, she pulls out many wires that was stored in a compartment on the side. Connecting the wires to countless outputs and devices on the controls of the mech, the cockpit began to look like a mess, but with each connection made, the AI Program began to download all information about Freyja. Moments later, Yuri would then uncover the machinery around the walls of the cockpit, using a special, precise tool, where more wires were connected. By the time she had finished, the pilot seat looked like a tree in a jungle that had ingrained itself on it's surroundings.*
Alright, it's done installing. After we let it manuver itself to maintain it's proficiency, it will be ready to be tested. Good luck, Mr. Dravon.

Leowen uttered a "Sure whatever" as he covered the Mechs again. He climbed into the Cab of the carrier and pulled up the on-board computer and the Map of the City. Hm, the closest Dock is through the stadium he thought as he selected the Stadium Icon. The Carrier heaved itself into motion and "sped" off in the direction of the stadium.
Soon the Vanguardian Stadiums Shadow Loomed over Leowen I have a feeling Im going to be seeing a lot of this place.. he smirked to himself as he contacted the official working the Stadium Entrance.
"Leowen Dravon here, I need access to the Stadium Docking Port, heres my ID Confirmation" he said swiping the card through the carrier's Com-Unit. "Access Granted Mr. Dravon, Please Proceed through entrace 9 and onto the Lift there. Switiching to Manual control, Leowen turned the Carrier into the opening doors marked with a blue 9. Once inside the magnetic clamps seized the carrier and the lift lowered to the Docking port level where the carrier was wisked off to the actual port.
After confirming with the Tech at the dock, The Mechanicle arms lifted the Mechs into position to be boarded. Leowen Strolled out onto the Docking Platform and slid into Viator. THe airlock sealed and seperated from the dock and Viator floated slowly backwards. A smile crept across Leowen's face Ah, back home at last
Looking over at the AI Controll Screen, Leowen told the AI to release its hold on the Airlock and proceed to outside the station. Moments later Leowen and the AI were floating outside the station in the designated testing area.
"This is Leowen, Im ready, now what?" he radioed to the Lab.

Prof. Eldform: *Transmission*
Good. You must first let the Program pilot the mech on it's own. It may be wise to set it on "Formation" to keep it following you out there in space. After that, you should try setting a target such as an asteroid. See how the AI Program responds with given commands. They should theoretically work fine. It might also be wise to make sure that nothing is at the other side. The targetting system could use a few more tuning on the next upgrade.
Yuri: Dad, I'm back.
Welcome back, Yuri. I need you to do something for me later. I'll tell you later since I'm talking to Mr. Dravon right now.
*Turning back to the camera.*
Now where were we? Yes. As long as the target that you have selected doesn't move too much, close combat shouldn't be too much of a problem. That much has been tested already. But if you can test on a couple of different asteroids, and see how frequent it would miss it's target, that will also help on improving close combat.
I see that you are ready to leave the hangar now. Good luck, Mr. Dravon. The colony depends on this AI Program.
*End Transmission.*
Yuri, Governor Trufeld has called earlier. The White Phantom is in need of combat capable units, and he will be arriving soon to pick up the racers' mechs soon. Seeing as how we have started the AI testing with Mr. Dravon, I am sure we can start testing our new project.
New project? You mean the more compact prototype of the new Tesla Drive Engines?
Yes. I would like you to go with Governor Trufeld to give the Alterion a test drive.
You want me to fight in the war.. ?
Not necessarily to fight. You are a full fledged pilot and a mechanic. We all trust Governor Trufeld for his past successes. He is a great leader, and is also experienced in leading battles. He would not let you get into any difficult situations. Infact, you will be of great help to them. Perhaps more than here. We will be waiting for the test results on the Compact Tesla Drive.
Okay, Dad. I'll have the Alterion transported to the hangars.

"Fine" as the screen clicked off and returned to the Mech's Outside Camera. Leowen's fingers slid across the AI's screen
Targeting.....Targeting...... it buzzed as Freyja locked onto a small asteroid floating away from the station. "Fire at will" murmured the old Mech Pilot into the mic. The tip of Freyja's Beam rifle glowed for a brief moment before fireing a thin energy beam towards the peice of rock, missing by a long shot. The AI's screen beeped Recalibrating...... It fired another shot, again missing. Finally it fired a shot that managed to clip the edge of the asteroid, the AI beeped in approval of its "hit".
Its too damn slow "Watch" Leowen commanded into the mic. Raiseing his rifle he leveled it at the clump of trash and pulled the trigger. The blast hit the asteroid dead on, sending shrapnel flying in all directions.
"Thats how its done..."

Jeln: *Moments later, the black ship arrives in the space where Leowen is optimizing the AI Program's synchronization to the mech's movements. The ship closes in with the cloaking device.*
That's the one that the sensor's telling us.
Pirate G: The hell are they doing? There's a war in this government, and they're out shooting asteroids.. that doesn't even have much materials at all.
Pirate E: Who cares! The other one sucks! Look at him! Can't even hit an asteroid! Let's take'em right now!
What, for fun? It's not even a cargo ship! What would they have for us?
Nah, we're going to sell the scraps we get after make scraps out of them! Sed, back me up!
*He runs to the hangar, hops into his mech, and launches himself out of the ship.*
Sed: Uuugh! Scrap ain't worth much! Arrrgh!
*He chases after him in his mech as well.*
God.. He's not gonna make it..
*A smooth stream of beam particles rushes through asteroids, past Leowen's Viator and Freyja, missing by a few feet.*
Hah! You two are mine!!

Leowen turned in the direction of the beam, two mechs came up on his sensor screen.
"You picked the wrong person to mess with on the wrong day" Leowen sneered as he brought his mech around to face the oncoming enemies. Rapidly tapping buttons on the AI's controll panel, Freyja came to life again.
With that last remark, Leowens mechanicle arm and hand locked into place as the fingers on the metal hand upened up to release a few connection wires that quickly dove into the mech's controlls giving Leowen's mental arm a direct link to the Mech. Leowen reached over and hit "Attack" on the AI's controll panel "Class is over, time for recess, lets have some fun" Leowen smirked.

The Scan information came back of the two enemy Mechs.
heh, idiots "Freyja, target the ship" Leowen barked into the mic as he fired his boosters and rushed one of the Mechs. A surge of emotion and fire erupted in Leowen's heart as he twisted Viator around, bringing the massive metal blade attached to the Machine's right forarm. The proximity light flashed as Leowen jerked to the side of the controlls as the Enemy Ship darted in front of him but the attack continued just the same as the blade lodged into the side of the ship before sickeningly screeching as it slid from the hull of the ship, sparks flew from the damaged hull. Leowen Pushed off of the ship but at that very moment a blast from Freyja.
Damnit! At least it hit it but it needs to figure out not to hit its allies...

Pirate E: Hah ha! Not a bad mech! It should be enough to pay off our last debt!
*Backing away from Viator to maintain his distance, he fires another round of beams at him. The beam skims past Viator's leg, the heat causing a small portion of the metal frame to warp a bit where there was what little contact it had.*
Sed: *He rushes in on the battle with two machine guns in the Hyper Half's hands, unleashing it's shots towards the direction of Viator, however, misses due to him dodging the beams.*
Dan, keep that guy still, you're making him jump everywhere!
Dan: Then why don't you cover for me, huh?!
Fine! Go for it!
*He raises his Dual Machine Guns, ready to support.*
Jeln: More fire power coming.
*He positions the ship towards Viator, aiming the vulcans at him.*
Now's your chance, Dan. Move it or lose it.
Dan: Alright, blast them!
*He pulls out the beam saber from his arm unit, and charges at Leowen's Viator, as streams of bullets are fired from Hyper Half's Dual Machine Guns and Sky Darkness's Vulcans. Although Hyper Half's attack misses, the Jeln succeeds in getting a hit on Viator, as well as setting up nicely for Dan. He would then charge up at Viator and strike at him, just as he would raise his shield to nullify the attack. Sparks fly from the shield on impact.*
Too slow! You're mine!
*He turns from Viator to Freyja, after supporting for Dan, and starts to fire at the mech that floats there in space.*
And have some of this!
*He launches the Spread Missiles from Sky Darkness at Freyja. However, in a failed attempt to dodge the bullets from Hyper Half's clutters of bullets from his two machine guns, it had managed to successfully dodge past the missiles.*

Leowen fired his aft burners and pulled back around the enemy formation. Looking up at the above visual screen, Leowen saw that Freyja was also moving to a new Point of attack though the target mech seemed to be tracking Freyja's movements. Ok you peice of crap show me if you can do anything useful Jets fired as Leowen charged the enemy Mech. Leowen closed his eyes and felt the power behind the Mech flow through his mind as the blade came swinging down, missing the enemy Mech who pulled back.
Hah! Missed!
"...Fire." The tip of Freyja's Rifle glowed with a bright light before the blast erupted from its barrel. The shot landed a devistating blow in the middle of the enemy Mech's chest, bits of metal and debris floated through space as Leowen smirked and brought himself back up into attack pose.
