"Everyone settled?" A man's voice boomed as they entered their mechs, each and every one lined up before Fiona, Takashi and Elliot. Their sleek exosuits stuck to their skin, their bodies covered in a white rubbery material, their chest, forearms and legs overlaid with a thick black exoskeleton, only leaving the knee free.
The air tasted of ozone and metal, their boots squeaking against the pristine white Aluminum floors as they made it to their mechas.
"Takashi Kamina?"
"Online!" Takashi declared, watching as the machine around him started to buzz to life before his very eyes, the blue neon lights pristine against the machine's sleek black metal, humming under the soft light of the room around them.
"Elliot Graves?"
"Online…" The boy muttered, his fingers working upon the keyboard, watching as the HUDs started to appear before his eyes, tracking their next course.
"Fiona Fairglaze?"
"Online—" Fiona crossed her arms, a light roll to her eyes at this stupid routine.
