Internal power brings your awareness up slowly. Finally! The fusion reactor must be installed!
Running some checks shows that your internal temperatures are a little bit above simulator normal, but still well within tolerances.
Limbs and legs read as intact and ready, if locked in place into gantries. An attempt to assert control is stymied by a lack of a synced pilot.
No main gun, nor ammunition.
Armor reads as patchwork, not yet fully complete. There’s several dead zones on the right rear torso and the left leg that you can’t detect if there’s damage or the plates are simply not there.
Yi accelerators are ready to go, however the Predator is still locked out from you. You can’t even check outside signals right now.
Your internal camera blinks on, focusing on a figure in the pilot’s seat. They’re flipping through the displays with a casual speed, and wearing the neurohelmet, though clearly haven’t actually tried to initiate a sync yet. It’s another human, female, wearing a blue pilot suit, but not Sophie.
Audio reads them as mumbling quietly under their breath.
“Come on, come on, come on….they said this was easy.”
External visual sensors flicker online, feeding you the data you desire. No one is outside, the hangar is empty of people. Panning over the cameras, the one thing you’re apparently allowed to control, you perform a visual inspection of the ‘dead zones’ on your armor. The armor is physically there, it’s just a lack of sensor feedback, like being numb. Annoying. If you suffer damage there, you’ll need to physically check it or the first you’ll realize that you have a hole in your leg is when it gives out.
You feel a faint vibration, which rattles through the hangar, knocking tools and parts to the ground. A bit of dust faintly falls down from the ceiling, which your cameras capture in exquisite detail. Seismic sensors aren’t quite working properly, unfortunately, or else you’d be able to find the source of the rumbling.
Your attention turns back to the one in the pilot’s seat. Reaching out, it seems that the internal speakers have finally been installed.
With a crackle, they come to life. The speakers seem to have the same limiters as the one back in the sim-pods, so you can’t make too loud or painful of a noise.
“Who are you?”
