Camp Epsilon

Tricticus, Emarl system

“It’s as Damus said. The entire force is being dedicated to finding out what they can do.” Charles sat down with Jess, Gomez, and Maxine, all from the design team, after their first inspection of the new recruits who were getting the Pluto-powered armor.

“We know how they need to be used. We don’t know all of the abilities of the suit, though, which makes me agree slightly with the senate’s ruling.” Gomez shrugged.

“From a practical standpoint, I agree with them, but the fact the Maraukians now have the A-drive, allowing them to hit us anywhere, means we need everything we’ve got to fight them. We need Elves to fight them where they land. Able to be the vanguard to clear out areas for us to drop legionnaires in.” Charles made a chopping motion for every point.

“Mark is about to start training his force on Tricticus,” Maxine said.

“Yes but we need a force, the size of a legion. He might have half of a century if he’s lucky and then he has to make the suits and who knows when they’ll be pulled off Tricticus to do anything. That doesn’t bring in the fact the senate will go apoplectic if they find out there’s a combat-ready group of Elves out there they didn’t know of.”

“Mark also sent some plans for a few toys,” Charles said.

Maxine grinned, tapping her chin in thought. “Well, we do have all of that production power and I don’t see us needing all of it for suits.”

“I’d say we need about twenty percent, at least, for further development,” Jess said thoughtfully. The corners of her mouth lifted upward.

“It’d only be right,” Gomez agreed.

“Plus there are all of those machine shops that are just sitting there. Plenty of automated machinery to work on ammunition blocks, too,” Charles added. His eyes danced as they brought up their interfaces.
