“Sound like it’s lots of fun outside.” Old Fammet said as he booted up his C-ARM scanner, basically, an X-Ray machine that had its x ray generator at the top and detector at the bottom all in one C shape.
“I would not exactly say its fun, but I cannot believe that you seem to be preparing for such a day,” Nie said as he booted up the diagnostics along with the X Ray machine. He then called Old Fammet to stand behind the lead shields so he do not get radiated by the scanner.
“Arrgh you are as old as I am, what does that bit of radiation harm you for?” Old Fammet grumbled as he was being dragged by Nie to the lead shield and they took the imagery scan of Tellie.
And a few more x ray scans of the torso and the legs were more than enough to see the entire Mechanoid’s full picture. Nie tried his best to remember how to operate the systems within his master’s workshop since they were rather old compared to the current technology they all had been using. However, he cannot blame him when he has been trying his best to maintain everything with scrap parts.
“Heh, it’s been a while since I see such a fucked up Mechanoid. Who is this guy?” Old Fammet asked and Nie shrugged his shoulders.
“I assumed he is some noble since he had been shoving gold bars in our faces. I thought you acknowledged him because he had decided to compete with you and have the money to back it up as well.”
“No, I will not acknowledge him because of such petty reasons. Of all the commanders I had disturbed at the Shopping Street, he was the only one willing to go into battle in recent years and he is tough.” Old Fammet said as he brought out his tools as if he was a surgeon going into a field operation.
“I thought you are the toughest of them all,” Nie said as he combined all the X Ray images and Old Fammet’s workshop system showing all the possible problems that had occurred for Tellie.
“I am and will always be in Town Gorgo. But that guy was skilled enough to use my strength against me. Yet, he was hiding his true strength as you can see via my security cameras.” Old Fammet said as he lit up the monitor consoles with the forest’s CCTVs.
Nie was astonished by the amount of decapitated Mechanoids in the field and it was obvious they were fresh ones considering the armament they were carrying as well as the cleanliness of those Mechanoids.
Then, Old Fammet switched the camera once more and it happened to be live capturing Jin running towards a tank. It was not uncommon for a Mechanoid to have such guts since they could be commanded to perform such an endeavour. However, for a commander to do that so willingly? It takes more than guts. It takes facing death in the face without fear.
“Then should we quickly fix his Mechanoid so that she could aid him in battle?”
“Heh, why should we?” Old Fammet said. Besides, the Mechanoid was merely suffering from overheating and the scans showed that there were no parts that needed any replacement.” Old Fammet said.
“Then why are we doing diagnostics to his Mechanoid?”
“Because I am interested in his link to the Royal Family or the nobles .” Old Fammet replied as he went to the console and pointed at one particular chip which was obviously imprinted with the number R10 on it.
“Royal Package Ten?! Isn’t that one of your past creations?” Nie understood that majors and above were able to receive Package Ten as part of their enhancement to their Mechanoids but for Jin to receive the Royal Package Ten was something Rocky did not inform. (And perhaps, Rocky had no idea that old Package Ten rotting within Archduke’s mobile inventory was a relic created by Old Fammet himself before he went bankrupt.)
“Whether it is through coincidences or not, the fact that he had access to a Package Ten is still something worth noting.” Old Fammet said
“Is that why you made such an uproar that day, compared to drinking yourself drunk like every other day? How did you even know that they were installed with the Royal Package?”
“If I cannot identify what I made, should I still be a Mecha Smith?!” Old Fammet shouted before he calmed down and told him to look at the frequency detector. “You might not be able to hear it but you should able to identify that the frequency of his Mechanoid is different from the average.
“You can hear the frequency it emits?”??ℯ??????ѵ?l. c??
“Somewhat? Like I said, how can I not know if it’s my own creation.”
“But still! Hearing frequency isn’t what a normal human would be able to do!” Nie complained and Old Fammet grunted, showing him his ears had been built with a frequency detector.
“Holy shit… I have been your apprentice for a few years previously and I never know such stuff.”
“You should be thankful, I still acknowledge you as my apprentice till now.”
“It’s because there is no one left at Town Gorgo to even take care of you.” Nie rolled his eyes and Old Fammet sighed while murmuring a rather soft thanks. Nie, even though he is of old age, could still him and kept quiet while working on the systems until they heard a loud boom from the CCTVs and they turned their heads to see what was going on.
However, by the time their eyes caught the scene, a modern battlefield tank was burning right in front of them. Old Fammet as eager as his apprentice quickly tried to rewind on another monitor the very same clip and could not believe their eyes.
Jin basically used a sword to slice the modern tank into two before casually activating a grenade and throwing it into the crevice as if it was just another day in the field for him.
“Unbelievable”
