When the White Whale was attacked, it was the Skell[ST:n ]team of the Special Operations Heavy Armor Training[ST:n ]Unit that overcame the xenoforms' military superiority.[ST:wait ] |

Colonel Elma and Irina fought like their very souls had[ST:n ]entered their Skells and were controlling them directly.[ST:n ]It was an awe-inspiring sight.[ST:wait ] |

They shot down one enemy after another until they[ST:n ]eventually chased them off entirely.[ST:wait ] |

That was when I became aware of the infinite amount[ST:n ]of untapped potential that Skells possess.[ST:wait ] |

|
tev021401_MSG0005 |
We mechanics do our part to make the machines—[ST:n ]all we ask in return is that the BLADEs who pilot them[ST:n ]exploit that untapped potential.[ST:wait ] |

If you do, then I can't imagine any obstacle we humans[ST:n ]won't be able to overcome.[ST:wait ] |

We're currently seeking a sparring partner for our test[ST:n ]pilot.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |

tev021401_MSG0010 |
But our pilot is a little bit...quirky, so we've had[ST:n ]problems filling the position.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev021401_MSG0011 |
As things stand, we aren't able to obtain any test data,[ST:n ]which means our new weapon cannot be put to use in[ST:n ]the actual field.[ST:wait ] |

We need to find a BLADE operative who's skilled[ST:n ]enough to face off against a Skell, and find them fast.[ST:wait ] |

If you find a schematic for a piece of equipment,[ST:n ]it won't be for any old thing that you can just[ST:n ]buy at a shop.[ST:wait ] |

Schematics allow an arms manufacturer to assemble[ST:n ]special \"nonstandard\" weapons and armor that aren't[ST:n ]available on the open market yet.[ST:wait ] |

If you find one, you should take it straight to[ST:n ]the AM terminal in Armory Alley to see what[ST:n ]sort of gear it's for.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev021401_MSG0048 |
Of course, you'll have to provide the materials before[ST:n ]it can be made for you, but it'll almost certainly be[ST:n ]something useful.[ST:wait ] |

When we fought off the xenoforms that attacked the[ST:n ]White Whale, a Skell that I'd never seen before played[ST:n ]a major role in our victory.[ST:wait ] |

I've always wondered what that Skell was,[ST:n ]so I've started looking into it.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev021401_MSG0056 |
Unfortunately, it's highly classified—all I was able to[ST:n ]learn is that it's called the Ares, and it's currently being[ST:n ]kept in the restricted hangar.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev021401_MSG0057 |
I wonder what sort of special power it possesses?[ST:n ]It must be something really incredible if they're keeping[ST:n ]such a tight lid on it.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev021401_MSG0058 |
The Skell that Lao took with him was a new model[ST:n ]known as the Prog Ares.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev021401_MSG0059 |
Apparently its design was based on the original Ares,[ST:n ]that top-secret Skell of unknown origin.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev021401_MSG0060 |
They say it's an incredible machine with a level of[ST:n ]power that even makes it a match for Team Elma.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev021401_MSG0061 |
Which begs the question—why has it been parked in[ST:n ]a hangar all this time instead of being out in the field?[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev021401_MSG0062 |
I'm sure there has to be some logical reason.[ST:n ]But as a mechanic, I'm just dying to get my hands[ST:n ]on that thing![ST:wait ] |

I've really started to question myself ever since that[ST:n ]prototype of mine performed so poorly.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
tev021401_MSG0014 |
I'm so obsessed with improving functionality that I have[ST:n ]a bad habit of neglecting to consider the costs of[ST:n ]production.[ST:wait ] |

I fall in love with schematics like they're my children,[ST:n ]and gradually make them stronger and stronger.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
tev021401_MSG0016 |
But if that ends up causing them to be mothballed,[ST:n ]it defeats the whole purpose.[ST:wait ] |

I make fun of Alexa for being so in love with Skells,[ST:n ]but it turns out that I'm no better.[ST:wait ] |

tev021401_MSG0018 |
You make it sound like loving Skells is such[ST:n ]a bad thing![ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
tev021401_MSG0019 |
But regardless, I like the weapons that you make.[ST:n ]I hope you'll make another prototype I can test soon.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |

tev021401_MSG0020 |
Thanks. Next time, I'll make sure it's something good[ST:n ]enough to use in actual combat![ST:wait ] |

I heard all the details about what happened.[ST:n ]So it was just a big misunderstanding after all.[ST:n ]And this time it wasn't a man, but a woman.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
tev021401_MSG0022 |
But I guess Alexa is always like that. Once she gets[ST:n ]involved with a Skell, she loses sight of everything[ST:n ]else around her.[ST:wait ] |

tev021401_MSG0023 |
I can't even count the number of male mechanics and[ST:n ]pilots that made the same mistake. Poor bastards...[ST:wait ] |

tev021401_MSG0024 |
But no matter how often I warn her about that sort[ST:n ]of thing, she never seems to understand what I am[ST:n ]talking about.[ST:wait ] |

|
tev021401_MSG0025 |
I guess that's a sign the Skell obsession's gone a little[ST:n ]too far.[ST:wait ] |

But what am I supposed to do?[ST:n ]You know I don't care about things like that![ST:wait ] |

All I need in my life is Skells![ST:n ]I'd marry one if I could![ST:wait ] |

tev021401_MSG0029 |
Yes, I know. And I don't blame you for that.[ST:n ]I just wish we could head off these tragedies[ST:n ]before another poor fool goes over that cliff.[ST:wait ] |

That was great work, how you recovered the data from[ST:n ]Camber's fight with the Ganglion.[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
tev021401_MSG0031 |
I can't even tell you how valuable it is to have data[ST:n ]on how our new weapon fares in battle![ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
tev021401_MSG0032 |
Of course, the data makes it clear that our current[ST:n ]design isn't enough to stop the Ganglion, but even[ST:n ]that is incredibly valuable to know.[ST:wait ] |
| 62 |

tev021401_MSG0033 |
Now I'm going to use a revised plan that incorporates[ST:n ]new xenoform technology to make it even better![ST:wait ] |

I'm going to work so hard on this thing, it'll even put[ST:n ]Little Miss Skell Nut to shame. It is gonna blow the[ST:n ]Ganglion away...literally![ST:wait ] |

Good luck, Tika! I can't wait to try it out once[ST:n ]you're finished![ST:wait ] |

Sure! But this time it won't be a prototype—I'll make[ST:n ]sure it goes into production so you'll actually be able[ST:n ]to buy one for yourself![ST:wait ] |
