Max was about to respond to the idea of equipping the Line Mecha for large-scale research projects when the creatures which were attacking the Galen fleet finally noticed that they weren't alone.
They split off a group toward the Cutter, and in an instant, the creatures seemed to cover half the distance between them and Max.
"It's not the distance that's messed up here. It's the flow of time. I recorded that event much more precisely, and I can tell exactly where they entered the time dilation and when they exited.
Until we can isolate where they are happening, it could be a problem for ranged combat, but melee should be just fine." Nico explained after the creatures reappeared.
"Alright, I'm heading outside. Wish me luck." Max sighed, still not sure what to expect from the surface of a battlefield that logic dictated should not exist.
