In the process of explaining his new vision for the Avatars, Commander Melkor started with the identities of the other mech forces of the clan.
"I believe the Penitent Sisters fulfill our original purpose much better than my Avatars." He began. "It's not your fault. They're just better than us in every measure except friendliness towards the male gender. The Hexers have many shortcomings, but training skilled and disciplined second-class mech pilots is not one of them. Even if some of their doctrines aren't tested in combat, they make up for it in unit cohesion and esprit de corps. The Penitent Sisters are strong, and they know it. Their results in the previous battle is hard proof of that."
