Bab 5213: First Activation of the Carmine Conscript

Based on the experiences of the inaugural test of the Carmine Troopers, Ves and the Masters decided to tweak the settings of the next activation.

They disabled and locked many mech systems that would have otherwise become active once a mech pilot engaged his machine for the first time.

As Lieutenant Leon Di Maggio carefully descended onto his seat and allowed the piloting chair to tap into his vascular system, Ves performed another check of all of the settings and modifications.

"Carmine mechs do not fall in our area of expertise, but I am concerned that we have not gone far enough in reducing the load for an untrained candidate pilot." Master Vayro Goldstein said with concern. "Although we have made sure to disable its movement systems, its sensors and much of its internals will still remain fully active once the candidate interfaces with his mech. There is a significant chance that Leon or his Blood Pact will get overwhelmed."
