She’s taken it very well all things considered, your shared life was already rife with lurking Zabi shaped dangers, but this kind of focused attention has never really happened before. The closest were Kycilia’s threats when you first came to Zeon. “Sometimes mistakes are going to be made, we both knew it was going to get harder at some point. It’s okay… Just need to focus on what we can still control, and each other. We’ll make it through this. Speaking of which, we’ve gotten beam weapons working… uh, sort of. It was just last week, but we got it working with a backpack mounted reactor and improvements to the power conduits in the K’s firing arms. All the capacitors are still in the weapon, they’re too bulky, but we’re finally starting to scale things down…”
>”If the K’s secondary reactor got running, could it power the weapons without a backpack?” She’s shifting the subject away from the Zabis - and Vivima’s proposed plan - but that doesn’t need to be talked about. And beam weapons *are* important.>”That’s good. Very good… But we really do need to talk through this Gihren business.” …That means discussing Vivima’s proposal as well. You know Elena trusts you completely, but you’re married now - you act together. It doesn’t have to happen right now, but it can’t wait forever.>”Think the Federation is still ahead with their research? Never quite cracked that capacitor system in those design documents… They’re making mobile suits now as well, they’re not much more than guntanks with legs and thrusters though.” …The data recorder Vivima got at Luna II had information on more mobile suit research, some of which is happening *here*, on Side Seven. >Write-in.
