A mother shook with concern as she observed the unfolding battle from the relative safety of the Tarrasque's design lab.
She and her fellow Larkinson mech designers could do little to assist the battle from this location.
That was why a number of bolder and more daring mech designers had volunteered to work as mech technicians down at the hangar bay.
The crews over there certainly needed all of the help they could get. As the battle dragged down, more and more first-class mechs limped back to their mothership. The fact that they could still fly back under their own power meant that they still had value on the battlefield, but their extensive battle damage made it difficult to bring them up to a reasonable condition.
Mech technicians possessed enough book learning hands-on experience to apply quick and crude fixes, but their lack of understanding limited their possibilities.
