Directing A Monster

The monster had awoken.

It was clearly angry.

"Yuri! What has happened to you?! Are you still alive down there?! What has happened to your mech? It is no longer transmitting any telemetry! Please respond!"

The machine remained unresponsive. It completely ignored Commander Pellicky's transmissions and channeled all of its pain and rage towards its enemies!

At this point, it became completely unclear who was in control of the Ultimatum that had suddenly bulked up, grown a random collection of extra parts and looked a lot more dangerous for whatever reason.

If Yuri was still in control, then the mech should have at least made an attempt to communicate and coordinate with the Pellicky Praetorians.

However, its behavior at the moment indicated that whoever was in control was less than rational!
