The entire clan was truly shocked when Casella Ingvar won the contest to become the next Sentinel Commander!
No one actually expected that Ves and Major Verle would put an expert candidate in charge. Wasn't that counter to the Larkinson Clan's policy that expert candidates and expert pilots should shed their distractions?
Regardless, the announcement had immediate effect. While most clansmen were bewildered, the Living Sentinels were all ecstatic!
"We finally have a commander who understands our plight!"
"Casella is so good!"
"Will her brother be coming over as well?"
"Damn, I look up to every mech pilot that managed to break through in the last battle. We're the only mech force that is still led by a hero!"
