Even with all of the shouting by Old Fammet, all of the Grey Bear War Maidens contributed to ensuring the creation of the War Maidens. However, instead of concentrating on the hardest task at hand, the Mecha Smith had decided to create the Medic War Maiden first so that he could have one more pair of hands on deck.
Nie did try to question within all this chaos why not use the Mechanoids they had obtained from the helicarriers to assist with the process and Old Fammet smiled. “Because creating your very own family member should not be done with the help of other people.”
“But…” Nie really does want the assistance of the other Mechanoids and even if he felt nostalgic doing all of this again as well as the busyness that he experienced rather than the boring task of guarding the shopping street against the thieves, he felt that more hands on deck would definitely be easier. Still, Old Fammet had a point even though it was super far fetch in this situation where they were rushing to create just two War Maidens from scratch before any other interferences.???e???n?ν?l. ???
However, because the forge was already up and parts were ‘premade’ after all the salvaging, there was not much needed to tinker with the exception of linking all the various parts together and making sure they could work. After all, the private corpos had purposely put restrictions on their War Maidens to ensure that their companies do not mix parts and had exclusivity.
So, when you have a Mecha Smith that was skilled to the point that he had once achieved fame, it was easy for him to circumvent such restrictions and redo some of the existing parts so that they could be attached together.
The tactical System had also scanned all of the Mechanoids available and that allowed Jin to order Yinn to pick the best processor and drivers among all of them. This allowed Old Fammet to concentrate on installing his own customised OS into the War Maiden and converting the old data into the processor with much ease.
“Don’t worry. When we have time, I will install my own OS versions into all of you as well so that you guys do not need to worry about being deactivated. For the time being, Package Ten would be a good deterrence against the schemes of the private corpos.” Old Fammet said as he was waiting for the data to be transferred into the ready made War Maiden.
“Private Corpo schemes?” Jin asked as Nie was already hooking him up to a haemoflow blood collection machine which would collect the donated blood and prevent the blood from coagulating which can be used for the close combat War Maiden.
“Private Corporations are scared that customised Mechanoids created by Mecha Smiths are untraceable. This is because they are not under their radar. They cannot collect data etc from these Mechanoids and thus are not able to improve their latest models. In fact, from what I heard, they have a so called elite line for the highest payers based on the collection of data.” Nie said this was one of the reasons why Old Fammet continued to persist from oppression.
“But most Mecha Smiths especially the Masters had been bought by all the points they could never get in their lifetime,” Nie said and Jin knew that in this world, the only matters were points, not morals.
“Do not worry User. The System had ensured that there was no transmission of such combat logs to such databases. Even the logs that Rocky had taken were only taking a small portion of the bigger picture which does not make sense unless they extrapolated the data wildly to the extent of absurdity.”
“Looks like you did your homework,” Jin said to himself as he read the words the System portrayed.
“It’s the System duty to do so and has always been. Also to inform you, the System had also infiltrated into Mecha Smith Fammet’s database and would ensure that the Medic War Maiden and our Close Combat War Maiden would be created without a hitch… software wise.” the System said nonchalantly through its words but the System was actually rather amazed by the customised operating system that Old Fammet was using.
If Jin were to be able to contract Old Fammet, it would no doubt be a great asset to him, especially when building up their own Super Robots in the future when they returned to the Mecha World.
Still, this was all whims and wishes until Jin could officially emerge out of the Synthesis World unharmed.
“OS installed. I will be putting the head back on now. Good luck to you Commander. I do not know how you are going to solve your previous problems with her. Will start on the close combat War Maiden right now.” Old Fammet said as he stood up, placed his hand on the activating War Maiden and hoped all the best for his creation even though it was a standard model.
“Don’t worry, Captain. We will explain to Page what is happening.” Yinn said as the leading War Maiden for the Grey Bear Squad went up to wait for her to wait up. (Obviously, it’s good that Jin was lying far away from her to get his blood out. Else, no one would know what Page, the Medic War Maiden would do to throw a punch at him.)
In the meantime, the other Grey Bears were still working their asses off for Old Fammet to produce the close combat War Maiden. Jin thought that it would take at least a few days or maybe weeks to get it done considering his thinking of smithing was the same as medieval ages.
But Nie choked on his laughter when Jin voiced it out. “Do not worry, Old Fammet had a collection of Mechanoids in his storage room. You should have known by now how much of a hoarder he is or else do you think his workshop could be as heavily armed as a military base? He did not keep all those defensive systems for show. So! As much as he disagreed with you, it was with reason that he felt necessary to voice it out because he was the one who thought of such designs before. Heheheh, if you asked me, for you to choose this design is as if Fate was calling out to him.”
“So, he already has a ready made model in his erm storage?” Jin had no idea how to reply to his comments and decided to ask the questions that needed to be ask.
“Hmm, somewhat similar if my memory served me right. Else, he could probably create one for you just as easily too and in a short span of time. Granted we are really short of manpower. Maybe short is stretching it. In any case, just get us your blood and rest for the day…. Next few days. Those private corpos won’t come that fast either.” Nie said as he told Jin to lie down properly so that the machine can do its work.
The captain quietly listened and waited for his blood to be taken by the machine as he watched the new War Maiden being activated from afar.
