Chapter 128: Pilot Seat

Gillian had joined Hanna at the left foot of his Mover Mech. Hanna took a cautious step back and watched as Gillian reached up to twist a lock partway up on the mechs back leg. There was a slight hissing sound, and a heavy click noise came from higher up the Mech on its torso. A ladder had appeared from the source of the loud click and was now steadily sliding down towards the ground.

Hanna's gaze was glued to the seemingly simple action. Never before had she seen something automated move before. Even if it was just a ladder, it was still a new experience for her. She glanced at the rest of the widely structured Mech and wondered how else this machine would surprise her.

"I'll go up first and make sure you won't accidentally start it up." Gillian said looking down at the timid looking girl as he stepped up onto the first step. "Don't worry, it's not all that dangerous when turned off and won't move. You also don't need to be so afraid of me either. I am a friend of Lisa's."
