What Captain Jenkins thought were problems with the control panel, what it really meant was that the combat mecha could not fly with manual control, it could only be controlled through the neural link.
Nothing on the console worked as it should, nor was there any way for the mecha to respond to any command, in the cargo hold of the battle cruiser Jenkins was talking to Gundam while the boy dismantled the entire central panel.
"Some problems? Come on Thomas, I don't know how you dared to use that thing again"
"Don't complain so much, you're getting paid well for it, and the mecha really serves more to intimidate than anything else"
Mouse went down with the pieces and after dismantling everything he began to review circuit by circuit, the board was fine, or with only some minor damage or so it seemed, the problem must be at a deeper level. In the end after many tests the fault was with the main processor of the board.
