Amidst all of the people bringing their mechs to base, here's someone who isn't! An enormous woman approaches on foot, by way of the seedy cover hotel on top of the base proper. Slung over one shoulder is a backpack containing most of her worldly possessions, and on the other shoulder is what appears to be an authentic medieval claymore.
Once she's on the campus, Suma gives the scenery a critical look. "Not exactly what you'd expect a haven for heroes of battle to look like, is it?"

Later the same day, her things now stashed in her spartan bedroom, Suma has found the real point of interest of Sakihama Base: The hangar. Let's have a look at what we have to look forward to, yes?
Not having even it up the mess hall yet, Suma goes from mech to mech at a leisurely stroll spending a couple minutes taking each one in. Without any engineering knowhow, she doesn't have much to go on besides intuition to get an idea for how each one fights, but even so, she can't help but imagine each one in action, as an ally or an enemy. For the first time in years, she's feeling the thrill of diving into a new kind of battle, surrounded by cutting-edge weapons the likes of which the world has scarcely seen.
Between mechs, she scans the hangar for people, but the engineers and technicians going to and fro don't hold any interest for her - the pilots of these mechs, however, may prove a different story.
[[After she finishes with Sakihama Base, she'll be checking out the hangars at Alhambra and Star Rose, just in case anyone wants a thread but isn't stationed at this base!]]

I don't think something that would be a toothpick to most robots would scare them.
Is it just an heirloom?
From:

Not exactly. [Her parents died before the claymore was invented.] More of an old trophy, I suppose.

"I know it's pretty posh a bit too much if you want to keep warriors on their toes but then again who am I to say perhaps my experience is too limited in some things. Also don't see many people who'd take the time to put to use such a weapon, a you have there."

Sounds like it's more the action than the machines you're interested in, though.

I should warn you, though, not to speak ill of my hands, but I think pretty highly of my sword too. Suppose we'll see how both hold up soon enough, anyway.

Appreciating the Scaraber, are we? I would lie if I said I am not even a bit proud of it.
