1 <B232D209> qq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, hello Shulk, Rex.
Nice of you to stop by.
2 <950B9430> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And a hearty "hello" to you, too.
You're looking very industrious.
3 <370EF6D7> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So, how's progress on the project?
4 <4A7C638E> qq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, um, progress?
Well, it's, uhhh...
5 <7DA359DA> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There's no issues with the basic locomotion,
but it's still a bit jerky.
6 <6BDA2A14> qq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh! Sis!
7 <D811CD94> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Who's "Sis"? When we're at work,
that's "Chief" to the likes of you.
8 <4476000D> qq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Y-yes, sorry... Forgot myself, Chief.
9 <7C65759C> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Don't think I've had the honor of meeting
your newest companions yet... Or, uh, have I?
Sorry, I've got a lot going on.
10 <18D6087A> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm Lucille. Mechanic for the Liberators.
11 <D3ADED8B> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You've already met my reedy
little brother, Hamill.
12 <38FE9E1F> qq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Pleasure...
13 <A6178E8F> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You're siblings! Neat!
Pleasure's all mine.
14 <D109956F> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So the vibe I've been getting is,
you're the ones who built this?
15 <BD5A0E1F> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, you got it in one.
16 <45BCF581> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's just a prototype, but we've been
trying to improve on the basic design
of the Armament.
17 <84D554E4> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Shulk and Riku did the groundwork
for us, but it wasn't really cost-effective
to manufacture at scale.
18 <907CAD4B> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So I tried to make it smaller, which also
made it more maneuverable.
19 <B85D6061> c1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hm, OK, but with this kind of size,
I don't see how you'd have enough
room for the pilot to sit inside...
20 <4FF2CA76> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I thought so too. But there's actually a little
hidden gimmick to this machine.
21 <65E023B8> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm listenin'.
22 <8539C33C> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 To put it simply, this little toy soldier
comes equipped for autonomous operation.
23 <DD00E21F> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It makes decisions by itself,
and can act independently...
just like a human would.
24 <28A9C23A> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Whoa. No jokes?
25 <33EF0E24> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We're calling it an "Automaton".
26 <BBE6158B> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If we manage to perfect it,
it would go a long way toward
solving our manpower shortage.
27 <B9BD5711> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Lucille and Hamill here are the resident
experts assigned to the task.
28 <558BB136> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And we've been working like bonkers.
Not every day you get a request like this,
straight from the top brass...
29 <EC2C49BE> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But this autonomous function thing
has really been a massive headache.
It flat-out refuses to cooperate.
30 <8C4C01BA> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It'll just stop what it's doing mid-battle,
or keep trying to walk through a wall...
Seriously, I've had it up to here.
31 <97FC3D94> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hrmm... I knew there would be hurdles...
32 <9A811511> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We've been running it through various drills
and it's acquired some basic patterns, but
that's really about it.
33 <E52E38BC> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 That sounds like a tough nut to crack...
Anything we can help you with?
34 <901B243F> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Well... Lemme think...
35 <13F09D5F> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, here's an idea. How 'bout we kill two
birds with one stone, and ask you to check
our progress by having a fight against it?
36 <3D7880F1> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I've been thinking for a while that it could
do with some extra combat data.
37 <E577BFE9> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You sure about that?
Isn't it still a work in progress?
38 <D42CBE39> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Eheheh, don't worry, it's not made of paper.
It's designed to be a fighting machine, so it's
gonna have to learn to take a beating.
39 <1A41B713> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 As for the location... Let's say under the
anti-air battery. That should be just right.
40 <0D8FCCCF> rq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hamill, prep the thing for data acquisition.
And don't forget to update the ballistics!
41 <E4DE03DE> qq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm on it, Si-...
Uh, I mean, Chief.
