1st [action] - Hangar Bay

[plotblackhole]

Shu was in the one place that was easiest to find him. That is to say, he wass not treating his life here any differently than he would anywhere else. He was in the hangar bay, attending to his own machine, the Granzon.

In terms of giant robots, it's not exactly massive. If only compared by size, it's about the average size of a real robot. But from the way Shu treats it and the way he keeps others from messing with his machine, one would think it was something special. Frankly, it was. The engine in itself could possibly be considered a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. The name "Anti-Matter Annihilation Engine" would have been enough to set plenty of people on edge. Shu, however, was proud of it as it was an invention of his own. It was perfectly efficient and didn't require refueling, like other mechs did.

He held a pad in his hand and it was was hooked up to his machine. The lowered gravity in the area made it simple for him to traverse to the various parts of his machine, hooking up his datapad to each section and running diagnostics. A ladder also helped but he didn't need to move it since he could jump across various pieces of armor plating.

Finally, he settled down on the floor, by the legs. A computer was located there and Shu was uploading all the information into it for a final check. If the fleet obtained and researched the information about his machine, that was their business. He'd find out eventually and do something about it. For now, he simply pressed the buttons on the console.

"Everything seems to check out. All that remains is a test flight but, hm. I wonder if the commander here would approve it."

A few more button presses and he started to leave. Of course, anyone was free to interrupt him in the meantime. Shu isn't exactly pressed for time or in a rush to get this done. As a matter of fact, anyone with (gasp) intelligent questions will get intelligent answers. As for everything else, who knows.

"Do or do not, there is no try," she mutters, taking a step closer to the mech, critically evaluating the metal of the casings. It doesn't look like anything she's seen before- definitely not durasteel, at the very least, "Are these common where you're...from?"

"The military uses them frequently, yes. Most of them aren't on the same level as the Granzon." By most, he really meant all but one or two. But he reached down on his pad, hit a few buttons and a hologram floated above it. "This is more standard to what people from my world use."

"Were you at war?" It seems like an obvious reason as to why they would commission such developed fighters.

[plotblackhole]

"Not personally. But Earth itself was under attack quite frequently. And when not being targeted by outside sources, it was often ripped apart from the various factions on the planet fighting over power." In short, yes.

[greatone]

Earth. The name is unfamiliar to her, and if the strange fighter didn't convince her that he was from another universe, the name certainly did. Unless it was one of those obscure Outer Rim territories.

"It must kill you to be here, then." Jaina could relate. Already she was itching to get back into the effort against the Yuuzhang Vong.

"Hardly. I'm still young and my only enemy is an immortal. I have plenty of time to hunt him down."

That enemy being what some would call a god though Shu had no such delusions. Just a being of supernatural origins. He wasn't one for religious drivel.

[greatone]

"...and that doesn't worry you that your enemy is an immortal?" It was hard to keep the skepticism free from her tone.

[plotblackhole]

"Immortality doesn't equate to invulnerability so, no, it doesn't worry me." Everything could be killed, regardless of what it was.

Jaina shrugs, "Either way, you're on a chrono, and they're not."
