A Cleansing

As Joshua hastily adjusted the Purgatory Envoy's movements in response to its malfunctioning left flamethrower, he momentarily lost his composure.

While he wasn't a mech designer, he still knew a thing or two about the physical properties of mechs.

According to the internal diagnostics of his mech, its flamethrower had been quite far from reaching a critical damage state.

Mechs were complex machines. Millions of parts had to work in unison to keep it running.

Even for a brand-new mech that had recently rolled off the production line and passed MTA certification, there was still a chance for one of its parts to malfunction!

The best the mech company could do was to make as little mistakes as possible during the fabrication process. Yet even if the LMC invested ten times as much in quality control, the odds of delivering a bad mech could never be ruled out.

This was simply how machines worked. Total reliability was an unattainable goal!
