[Backdated to just before "War of Myths"]
Sometime in the wee hours of the evening, a large, unmarked flatbed trailer rolls it's way into grounds of Saikhama base, parking itself in the hanger bay by an unused mech gantry. The moment the trailer stops, orange suited technicians rush out of the side doors and pull the tarp off of Solaris's latest creation:

As they begin to hoist the mech up to a standing position with cranes, one of the technicians takes a step away, looks around, and sees some familiar faces.
She waves with her clipboard. "YO! Mizuki my girl! Miss Harper! Look what I brought for you guys!

[After "The War of Myths Mission"]
In the wake of the battle with ancient gods, the senior Solaris technician looks up at the fearsome ScarleTiger, newly baptized in battle.
Specifically, she's staring slack-jawed at the various bit's of damage it's suffered.
Finally, she groans and turns away.
"Nope. NoNoNope. Screw it; I'll fix it tomorrow."

"Wellllll...if you can move fast, I was thinking that you could work fast too. And that if you could work fast, I could dragoon you into helping me get this job done quicker, so I could pop off early for a drink."

She pumps her fists up and down as she marches in place like a marching band leader.
"–These fighting robots and their organization members are hanging out in a building together and going on joint maneuvers: look how unified we are!"
She shrugs. "Before the year's out, we'll probably be disbanded after some border skirmish or trade embargo gets the politicians all upset."

Indeed. But you do see what amount and type of damage they suffer, when they return back home. Surely some kind of pattern does show up?

Less "angels" and more "Saviors". Mizuki decided we're the 'Savior Team'.
I like the term and I feel it's appropriate. And yes; Ken, Sara, and myself have gotten into a couple of battles, though we've done well enough so far.
Ken's going to appreciate this new machine to. The-

She notes Mizuki's comment about ScarleTiger. "Well, it's not exactly the most stealthy thing out there, but otherwise, it's got everything a growing ninja needs: stabbiness, whippiness, speed, and a face-mounted flame cannon!"
She pumps a fist, then frowns in thought. "Do you think this Ken guy has the jets to pilot it?"

And that's also two of the three we're going to be having for 'SolSavior'...
What's the situation on mine then?
