As much as Jin did not want to jinx it, he felt it was going too smoothly and the private corpos would definitely not allow Old Fammet to do whatever he likes especially after they took such a huge loss.
If he was in their shoes, he too would commence a counterattack especially when their group had taken down vehicles that were worth millions of points. They would be too dangerous to allow to communicate with Old Fammet and come out alive.ƒ?ℯ???????e?. ???
So, even as Jin knew that this could possibly be the calm before the storm, he would be taking it in stride. There was no other better way to do this than to create his two new teammates that the Grey Bear Squad was missing out on. Surely, he could do a company sized unit or maybe a platoon with all the extra manpower that he had obtained from stealing from those private corpos but all his mind was filled with is the creation of someone knows.
As Jin returned to the workshop, he saw that Mount Sunn was producing smoke from its peak and Jin assumed that this entire mountain was basically his workshop. Nie was working double time as he was running around to make sure that all the systems were working as Old Fammet were giving out (Or more like shouting) instructions to not just Nie but to his Grey Bears as well.
With all the diagnostic systems pinging which Mechanoid part to scrap from the pile of corpses, the Grey Bear War Maidens were frenzy with their movements picking them out with whatever knowledge they had. (Thankfully, the tactical System was there to assist them as well and give them proper instructions rather than the ones Old Fammet gave.)
Jin was also called out as Old Fammet beckoned him to his main system console area. “I managed to retrieve all the Medic War Maiden information. Based on the logs, it seems like there was some big argument between you and her. Do you wish for me to wipe its memory? It will be easier for you to control if I do that.”
“No, keep it as it is. The old teammates will explain whatever information they need to her. I am more concerned with the close combat War Maiden that I wanted you to create.”
“Why? What other customisation do you need?” Old Fammet felt a bit pissed since he had already thought of the best parts and design for her already when he fired the forge up.
“Please follow these specifications instead,” Jin said as he took his wire and plugged it into the console area, allowing the Tactical System to produce the War Maiden specifications.
“Huh? That is all old technology that you are asking me to make. The only good thing about this old design is the customisation portion. It technically allows growth and has compatibility with various parts very easily.” Old Fammet pondered.
“But I will admit that older designs have sturdier frames and significantly better core structures. Especially if you wish to increase the number of cores or change the processing cores, it is no doubt the best foundation a War Maiden has…” Old Fammet then looked towards Jin with a curious look.
“Why would you want a Mechanoid with a high number of core processors on a close combat War Maiden? It does not make sense when scientists and researchers had already proven that multiple core synchronisation is not just an impossibility but a huge waste of resources. I understand if you want a tactician that does parallel processing but this is a close combat unit where sensory devices are a priority compared to those cores.”
“Are you able to create it or not?” Jin did not budge from his request.
“The only improvement I will make is that the mechanoid frames would be made with the latest fusion metal material but because of its design, I would need blood. Lots of blood because, unlike the modern War Maidens that used biosynthetic fibres.” Before Old Fammet said that there was no way they could have such ‘blood’ around, Jin folded his sleeves up further and showed him his arm.
“Even from a human, it would not be enough.” Old Fammet furrowed his eyebrows.
“It’s alright, try me. I am stronger and more resilient than any human you have met.” Jin was confident in his analysis especially after he learnt that the gunshots that he had previously were already healed. Even though he technically does not have his physical body, apparently the traits of having a set of vampiric bones implanted on him as well as the disgustingly painful regrowth charm was in him, they were still working as intended.
“Are you crazy?!” Old Fammet said as it would defy logic for him to provide blood continuously to create the close combat mechanoid which needed blood fused fibres to work so that it could regrow with nanomachines which the current models had abandoned its uses.
Why waste time growing wounded parts when you can replace parts easily? As long as the data is intact, a new body is always better since you can buy a new body easily with the current model of marketing that the private corporations are doing.
There was no need to use for nanomachine based War Maidens when everything was replaceable. However, Jin knows that this War Maiden he was making was not replaceable. She was someone that he loved even though he do not show his love that open to people and had always been too busy to accommodate her.
“Master Fammet, please trust our commander. He is eccentric and had always broken the norms of our a commander should work. If he said to take his blood because he was confident of himself and as absurd as it sounded, I asked that you trust his words.” Yinn voiced out.
“Master Fammet! Take as much as you can from him for making us work like crazy asses!” Diaz shouted and for once Tellie even supported Diaz’s comment.
“You ladies are such asses,” Jin said as he grinned and stared with absolute determination towards Old Fammet.
The Mecha Smith sighed and shook his head for a while thinking that if he wants crazy, then he will make something equally magnificent that can match such crazy.
“Alright, let’s do it before other people come knocking in.”
