September 13, above the Sunset Sea.
Second Support Fleet, Xuanse Cangqiong transport ship.
"Approaching the silent airspace. Beginning descent." A pilot reported as he pulled down on the control stick.
The black transport ship sank into the clouds like a giant whale diving beneath the waves.

Even though he'd become a body of steel, he still wasn't used to making a dramatic drop from the sky, so he could only try to distract himself by chatting with Bai Ying.
"Not yet..." Bai Ying had only just come out of her thoughts about last night. Besides, she wasn't very good at naming things, so she hadn't settled on anything. "I'll send you my mech's information. You can just call her by her designation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Xiao received an encrypted data packet from Bai Ying's mech, and his system immediately logged it.
[Mech Designation: MS-03] [Model: Experimental First-Generation MS Mech] [Pilot: Bai Ying] [Performance: Fourth-Generation Dual-Core Powered Armor, Height: 77 meters, Weight: 11,200 tons] [Equipment Modules: "Deep Scar" Biometric Interface System, "Flame" High-Frequency Thermal Cutting Sword, X-1 Full-Joint Turbine Acceleration System, "Cocoon" Liquid-Steel Memory Armor, "Firefly" Micro Cluster Missiles] [Combat Rating: Class C (7,500 points)]
Yu Xiao had known the experimental mech would surely be stronger than the third-generation models currently in service, but he hadn't expected their combat ratings to differ by a full two thousand points!
He'd heard long ago that Omega had access to a lot of cutting-edge technology. But due to budget and practicality concerns, most of it couldn't
