William raised a hand and rubbed his eyes before looking at the computer screen again.
There was no mistaking it now. This was a combination of a Gundam and an EVA.
The concept art was modeled after John's machine. The six diamond-shaped objects behind its left shoulder looked more and more like Nu Gundam's Remote Drones the longer he stared at them.
Combined with the Beam Saber held in the machine's right hand, it was a super-sized version of a Gundam.
At that moment.
Halsey had no intention of keeping him in suspense. She raised a hand and pointed at the computer screen, explaining to William:
"Didn't The Hive develop a new type of Battlecruiser last year? I found the ship's Beam Weapon system very interesting, so I used it to improve the 'god-body's' equipment.
"(Pointing at the six diamond-shaped objects) The 'Remote Drone' weapon system allows the Spartans operating the god-body to control these folded-up drones through a Neural Link.
"During intense combat, if the Spartans are too occupied to control them, the drones can also be handed over to Cortana for assistance.
"They can release Particle Beams no weaker than those of a cruiser, and form a 'Laser Net' to eliminate enemies the same size as the god-body, or even larger.
"The only drawback is that they consume energy too quickly. The power stored in each Remote Drone can provide no more than fourteen Particle Beam shots.
"Once their energy is depleted, they need to return to the god-body as quickly as possible to recharge.
"But each machine carries six Remote Drones, allowing it to unleash eighty-four Beam attacks. That should effectively make up for this shortcoming.
"After all, as one of your famous sayings goes, quantity is also a form of truth."
They really are Remote Drones.
