3622 A Talk with Commander Chancy

"Let me put it this way." Ves tried to explain his new mech in an understandable fashion. "Imagine you are holding a gun and you're trying to shoot a pesky bird in the air. You have a 20 percent chance to hit the bird with every shot, but then someone else comes along and secretly puts a distorted glass in front of your eyes. You keep aiming and firing your gun, but your aim is always off no matter how much you concentrate on your target! The problem was never with your skill or judgment, but rather the glass that someone placed before you. Unless you become aware of its existence and actively compensate for its distortive effects, you won't be able to fight as effectively as before!"

Although the exact mechanisms were a bit difficult to explain in full, the simplified analogy was enough for even the slowest Vandals to comprehend the actual effect of the Deceptor Project.

The mech directly distorted the perception of the enemy mech pilot!
