What did expert pilots do when they weren't performing their duties?
Venerable Joshua Larkinson didn't really have a clue. He supposed that dedicated warriors spent all of their remaining time on one productive activity or another, but he didn't really feel as if he counted among their number.
He asked his fellow expert pilots what they spent their off-hours on. The answers weren't encouraging.
"I keep my Shield of Samar company." Venerable Jannzi responded to her ex-boyfriend. "My life is tied to my mech, so it's foolish to neglect it. Don't you feel the same?"
The hangar where the Shield of Samar currently resided was closed off and empty. Ever since it had been converted into a prime mech, the pressure exerted by the mech was too much to bear to the maintenance crews.
Only expert pilots such as Joshua and Jannzi were able to remain at ease while in close proximity to the huge and massive space knight.
