That was right. This machine was only a complete frame—no, it should have been called a half-finished product. It basically had everything it needed. Its wiring and pipelines might have already been fully connected and calibrated. It had skirt armor, corresponding heat vents, thruster modules, and even twin Gatling gun ports on its head and shoulders.
