Gone Wild (after Oriental Sentinels)

[sixteenthgun]

[Once the Wildschwein is safely docked, Cobray exits it and descends to the hangar floor. He doesn't immediately behave like there's anything wrong. However, he does take one good look at the machine he just piloted.

The Wildschwein, like some other units using the TC-OS, uses preset patterns for maneuvers. Somehow, he couldn't help but feel some familiarity with the ones programmed into this unit...

Even more mysterious was how confident he felt about it, and then there was the biometric lock...]

Ingram...was it...?

Mr Gordon? You found a different unit to pilot, I see.

[sixteenthgun]

...I did.

After what happened as of late, I can't afford to stand around idly, even if piloting the Werkbau isn't an option.

[star_of_sad]

I understand. And... I really know that feeling. I'm happy that you decided to help. Your assistance didn't extend to being only an informant.

But, umm...

[Setsuko glances at the Wildschwein. She is not the first to ask this, for sure, but...]

What do you know of this unit?

[sixteenthgun]

It was piloted by one Ingram Plisken.

There is a lock in place that prevents anyone from using it.

[star_of_sad]

Prevents anyone from using it...

But you just did nevertheless.

[sixteenthgun]

I was just as surprised as anyone else. But, there was no time to think about that.

[star_of_sad]

No, there wasn't. And I don't think anyone will blame you for using a machine that was physically supposed to be impossible for anyone to use.

But... you need to understand that a lot of people will be really curious, now. I'd lie if I said I wasn't curious, either.
