The request

"Shit! FightSaber was already lagging behind, and now that my sword is destroyed... I can't save anyone like this! To be able to protect my friends, to do that - I'll need to work hard to get my own, up to date machine."

"Yeah! It's time to do this! I'll show you guys what I can do yet."

[The actual post you can respond to:]

Something's not right with Unity Group bases. Resources distributed towards unit maintenance and repairs trickled to bare necessities, the quality of food served in mess halls took a noticeable hit, even water in the showers is measured now! What the heck is going on? The man responsible for support has the answers.


"Gavin requested a new unit for himself and somehow, the request was approved. The thing is, we're covering expenses related to its construction, and since it's supposed to roll out fast, it's not cheap. I'm cutting costs where I can just so UG stays afloat."

Logistics Specialist Dirchs looks exasperated. Not by this question, but by the situation.

"And before you ask, no I don't like it either. Just hang in there. This is not a permanent setup. It'll pass soon... I hope."

I SUPPOSE I SHOULD GO MAKE A BETTING POOL ON HOW THIS SHIT IS GOING TO END UP GOING WRONG NOW TO RECOUP LOSSES. I THINK I'LL PLACE FIFTY BUCKS ON "WE END FIGHTING THIS NEW MECH".

Dirchs ponders this statement.

"No bet."

SMART MAN.

NOW MORE SERIOUSLY. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT GAVIN'S SUPPORTERS? BECAUSE THIS SMELLS LIKE EITHER EXTREME IDIOCY OR DELIBERATE FUCKING WITH THIS ORGANIZATION.

"His uncle is the creator of FightSaber and ShotSaber... or rather, he founded the research. He is a politician and a businessman, not a scientist. But either way it looks like he plays the doting parent role."

THERE'S MORE GOING ON HERE THAN A DOTING IDIOT. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY GUT. SLAPDASH IS ONE THING, BUT THIS KIND OF SHIT SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAPPEN.

"Are you saying someone's trying to set us up, Major?"

I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING. JUST THINKING OUT LOUD.

[It's pretty clear that Kagura does have suspicions, but deniability is an important skill when you work for Graveyard.]
