"Hm..." Xerox heard the price and started to make estimates in his head about the cost of the raw material from there. The fact that the armor was probably constituting to a good million or so, meant that the materials itself constituted somewhere upwards of half a million. That was just for armor material, any mounted guns, equipment, gear, engine and everything else ... Xerox sighed at the figures. It would take a long time to earn the money to just get the raw materials, unfortunately.

With another student transferring in suddenly and entering the test, falling over at Duncan's feet, Xerox looked on curiously. After a moment, he entered the airship. Rue followed with him and sat on his lap, to take up one seat less. Taking a corner seat, Xerox unstrapped his giant spanner and leaned it on the airship corner. He wouldn't be able to sit down, with the sheer size of the giant spanner. 

The airship took off, and Duncan could be heard instructing the group over the built in radio. [i]Ninjutsu? Hm...[/i] he pondered for a moment. Seeing as though Xerox ended up in the 'other' airship, he turned to face the newcomer. "Hey, I'm Xerox, and this here is Rue. I'm something like an inventor? A mechanic? Something like that. I only transferred here a month and a half ago. Nice to meet you Riella." He smiled friendlily to her.

As a hologram appeared on the floor, Xerox listened intently to the instructions. [i]Neutralization of the facility huh ... I would prefer taking over than that, but it would be easier. Hm... I know![/i] Opening up his tool box, he quickly made some modifications to the gauntlet from before. Xerox was modifying one of the parts he had finished, to make it able to inject something. He would probably need to access his [b]ESS[/b] later.

Once Duncan asked if there were any questions, he spoke up. "Well, this is the Galbadian army right? So we will fight the Galbadian mechas then, right? That means they will most likely use the X-ATM092 and the GIM47N. Hm.... From what I know, these mechas are particularly weak against thunder type attacks. If they were to make a formation with them ... It would probably have X-ATM092s at the front with GIM47N shooting the chain gun or the lasers. Well ... only if they use them to defend it, which is likely. I would like to request that, if there is a chance, not to destroy all of the mechas. I should be able to override the controls and modify it for a good shrapnel explosion to destroy the power substation, due to it's decent size. That is only if the chance of this were to reveal itself. Charlotte, do you mind, if I get the chance to make the modification, to use thunder on the mecha? I would like to make it a remote or timed explosion, but don't have the equipment to do that with me, so would like your thunder to activate it, if you don't mind."

Realizing that he was just taking command with out anything solid, and being relatively new, Xerox went on to apologize. "Um... Sorry. I went ahead of myself. Taking command like that for no reason. It's just a plan I thought. If there are other plans, then please ignore my suggestion. I would like to ask though, is it possible for me to use some time after the mission, before we leave, to take some scraps back? There could be some useful parts is all." He was a bit timid during his apology and while asking about the scraps.
