" Now, Sione see you in a bit. Race could you see Sione off. I have to get everything ready for the two mechs that Master has planned to give us for the mission".
" Wait, we are getting mechs of our own ?", A excited Race spoke
" Wait, you guys are getting mechs", Sione spoke with a hint of jealousy. " This is not fair, I am gonna make master give me one as well".
A notification suddenly popped up on the hologram panel. " Its look like Sione's ride home has docked. Race see him off will you. See you in a bit Sione. Don't cause master any trouble, Ok."
" You are the one who is causing trouble", Sione left the command deck with Race.
And just after they left another beep was heard, a notification about the two mechs that Race and Magnus was supposed to pilot in this mission. " Oh, That was fast, Initiate docking procedure", Magnus gave the permission for the AI.
" Initiating Biometric Scanning of the initiator in progress", A robotic voice sounded as probe flew out from a previously hidden compartment. The probe then proceeded to fly around Magnus as it scanned him. " Scanning completed. Initiator passed the authority check. Docking procedures commencing".
A personal with sufficient authority was needed to pass the security check otherwise no one will be allowed to dock with the minotaur. A safety measure specially implemented by Master Selia. Magnus watched as two huge metallic cylinders being loaded into a cargo hall on the minotaur.
After making sure that magnetic coupling were firmly holding the 2 containers in place Magnus immediately turned on the feed from the hangar from where his little brother was leaving. As he watched the little one man spacecraft leaving the minotaur's hangar Magnus said to himself, " Sione, I promise I will make the one who made your life hell Pay the Price".
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Magnus took in a long breath, calming himself down. He waved his arm summoning a new holographic panel on to which he merged the visual feed he was watching. He then pressed on a an option and spoke to Race.
In the Hangar, Race was closing the blast doors sealing the Hangar from which Sione left. When a holographic screen was accurately projected directly before his face. In the Hologram was Magnus with a face that made him appear more serious than what Race had seen so far.
" Race, I will be waiting for you at Cargo Hall-203. Our mechs have arrived. They are waiting for you there. Follow the light path on the floor. it will lead you directly to the cargo hall".
Before Race was even able to respond, The holographic panel disintegrated to nothing and a new light path began at Race's feet leading to the Cargo Hall.
" Yeah, I better talk to him in person", Race felt awkward about being ordered around like that, but still decided to go to the cargo hall.
Following the light path, Race was able to reach the cargo hall in no time to find a Magnus who was deep in thought.
" Hey!", Race tried to snap Magnus out of his thoughts.
" Oh yeah", Magnus was a bit startled but quickly regained his composure. " Race, I am sorry for being rude to you earlier, Its just that the thought of having a chance at finding Sione's torturer made me a bit, jumpy".
" OK, Apology accepted. I understand. Whoever he is, we will find him. But don't be too emotional, you need to be focused because the Person you are trying to find is a genius himself. Not being at your full potential will only help the mastermind." Race tried to calm Magnus down, " Now, tell me about our new toys." Race tried to change the subject.
" Oh these bad boys, They are custom mechs made by master. Each of them fitting according to our fighting style. The first storage unit contains my mech, while the second one is your's."
" What is my mech's color". Race asked like a little boy who is excited about his toy.
" The Mechs are layered with an omni-chromatic plating, essentially letting them have the ability to camouflage. Which also means we can chose it's color out of combat or missions. Now let's see these bad boys, shall we". Saying so Magnus made a peculiar hand motion, causing the containers to slowly open.
It was dramatic scene, the hatches on the front of the containers slowly opened to the sides. There was a bit steam caused by the sudden release of pressure from the storage unit.
When the hatches were completely opened and the steam became scarce the magnificent machines came into view. Race gasped at the sight of the majestic mech that was his to pilot.
