The brief 'service interruption' that happened on Bentheim confounded many people.
It couldn't be helped. The auras that seemed to be perpetually active had gone dark all of a sudden.
The consequences were drastic. Mech pilots who became used to the reassuring duty-focused auras of the Desolate Soldiers suddenly felt as if they were missing something essential.
Bystanders who felt reassured in the comfort of the emotions evoked by the mechs all experienced a gaping void in their hearts.
The repercussions of this two-minute interruption was incredibly shocking!
Even though the mechs quickly came back to normal, panic continued to run rife for a few days.
The LMC received lots of calls despite publishing a notification that purportedly explained the phenomenon.
Though many people bought the excuse, many more had begun to spread conspiracy theories.
What if the LMC implemented a backdoor in their mechs?
