At that moment, the hatch above Samael's head opened as well. The Imperial Titan's only remaining half mechanical arm reached into the cockpit and lifted its pilot. Its self-operating electronic eye flickered at high frequency, crazily calculating the trajectory of the meteor overhead amid the sparks flying from the instruments.
