Mercuria: Yes. Very probable. But how probable is it we'll succeed?

@Oliver You put the coal into the boiler and let it beat the water to build up the proper pressure for the pistons to activate the turbines! Or in your case press the switch to activate the contact breaker!

Oliver: ...there's a switch? Where the heck is it, then?

-Starts clambering over the Titan to try and find the switch, like a robot monkey-

Mercuria: @Oliver ...Internal. Which means there should be a hidden switch to open its hatch unless the thing can somehow hear you and just let you inside.

@Lisa I think it might rather be a bit late.

@Ellen "Exciting"?

Oliver: Hmm...

-Oliver scrambles about for a few more moments, before he ends up finding and pulling out something large and green from some port on top of the mech-

Oliver: ...Huh. I... I think this is a Titan battery.

Idunno, I've never touched one.

Mercuria: @Oliver Plug it in when we're close then.

@Ellen That should not be exciting for many reasons.

Oliver: ...

-Fragantly disobeys Mercuria's advice, and plugs it in anyways-

-Nothing happens-

I don't know why I thought that'd do anything, but sure, whatever.

Oliver: I mean, it was in there already and nothing was happening. I don't know why I expect-

???: POWER SOURCE DETECTED. INITIATING BASIC SYSTEM STARTUP.

Oliver: ...Uh-oh.

Oliver: In my defense, I didn't think it was going to do anything. Like I said, it already had the thing in, why wouldn't it have just turned on?

???: PERFORMING BASIC POWER-ON SELF TEST.

CAUTION: CHASSIS MISMATCH. EXPECTED CHASSIS: MONARCH. CURRENT CHASSIS: RONIN. RE-EVALUATING TACTICAL DATABASE FOR MOBILITY WARFARE.

-The Titan jerks around erratically, almost like it's possessed-

-It isn't, though. It's just doing basic tests of all of its moving parts to make sure nothing's broken-

Mercuria: @Oliver Ah. It just needed confirmation of its operator. It's similar to the imprinting process for a warjack. Stubbs could tell you all about it.

@Ellen You are a necromancer, yes?

SELF-AWARE DATACORE DETECTED. BOOTING DATACORE...

Mercuria: @Oliver Don't look at me. I work with steamjacks.

@Ellen I can see why your life revolves around death then.

It must confuse you how some of us seem to defy the natural cycle of life and death though, like Oliver there or the strange goat girl brooding in the corner.

Mercuria: @Ellen Bleak.

...But you would get along well with the Thamarite cult, from the sounds of it.

@Stubbs When they say we're about an hour close to our target. You're REALLY eager to spar with him, aren't you?

Oliver: Fair enough.

???: DATACORE ONLINE. MEMORY TEST REPORTS NO ERRORS.

PASSING CONTROL TO DATACORE IN THREE... TWO... ONE...

-The various lights and cameras on the Titan activate as it looks around and takes a second to take everything in, before they all focus on Oliver-

???: ...Pilot?
