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!
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)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.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."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.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."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-
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Oliver: ...Huh. I wonder why it would need that?
-The Titan stops jerking around-
???: POWER-ON SELF TEST COMPLETE. ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL.
SELF-AWARE DATACORE DETECTED. BOOTING DATACORE...

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."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.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)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?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Oliver: Hey, Mercuria! How do you usually start a robot?
