Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 - The Generals...No That's too Corny

As the holographic displays shimmered to life before Aedhira, he took a moment to study each of the chosen units for his army. They were not just machines; they were beings crafted from his own essence, imbued with purpose and potential. Here are the descriptions and statistics for each unit:

He chuckled as he read Argos, harsh critique on the Vagrant. Then again, he couldn't exactly blame them either. As of the moment, the Vagrant is not different from all the other infantry, expendable. Apart from having a railgun, nothing set it apart, and even what it had was minor. Whether he had made a mistake or not, like Argos said, only time would tell.

As Aedhira reviewed the capabilities of his chosen units, a sense of pride swelled within him. These were not just machines, not anymore, they were, or rather, would be his 'people', his allies in the battles to come.

Although the first battle he'd have to take care of was called cleaning. And the battlefield was this facility. 

He couldn't help but grimace, his Generals.....

"No, I've though about it, but 'Generals' is too corny. Too cliche"

[Hm? It seems perfectly fine to me]

"That's cause you're a sheep. I'm a trendsetter"

[....]

"How about...."

He thought hard and well. Very hard actually. So hard, it could be seen on his face, which now wore a dark look. Then he suddenly lit up.

"I Got it!"

[Do tell]

"Maxim. They are the Maxims"

[Derived from truth or fundamental. Good choice]

"Thanks. NOW, LET'S GET TO WORK!"
