Just as the swordmaster predicted, Gloriana did not take the latest announcement too well.
"THE MECHERS LIED! THEY DELIBERATELY CRIPPLED OUR MECHS! WHY ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO DESIGN TRUE MECHS? WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED TO PUT COMPLETE NEURAL INTERFACES IN MY MECHS? I AM NOT A CHILD THAT NEEDS TO BE CODDLED! WHY ARE THE MECHERS REFUSING TO GIVE US THIS TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY HAVE HELD BACK ALL OF THIS TIME!?"
"Big sister, why is mama so angry?"
"Mama is angry because a group of bad guys refused to give her a toy."
"Oh. That makes sense."
Other mech designers showed a little more understanding.
