A strange, fluid beam poured out of Asteria's repair nozzle, coating the broken pod in a green glow.  The pod regaiend it's original structure and shape, cracks mended, and entire missing chunks reformed.  Claire could notice a meter in her HUD slowly decreasing, showing expenditure of the nanomaterial being used to repair the pod.

"That's...amazing..." Maya said, slightly dumbstruck, "I looked over the specifications of Asteria, but I almost didn't believe that something like this could exist."

"Repair technology like this alone would make the the entire Cadmus project worth it, more-so than even the cogs themselves," Sion added.  For the most part, the other cogs were simply glorified weapons platforms, and did not really add new technology, they simply had unique ways of using what already existed.

Solomon secretly glared at Asteria for having stolen Legion's thunder.  Maya however, soon changed the pods t ochange behavior and start moving so the pilots could start training on hitting moving targets, giving Solomon another chance to show off.  "Ha! Feast your eyes on this!"  Legion threw its arms outwards as 18 bits detached from it.  Each bit flew about independently, circling Legion like a swarm of hornets.  He then sic'ed the bits after the moving pods.  The bits flew very quickly and fired at a target from multiple angles, making a deadly, inescapable net of beams.  Solomon felt a severe strain in his temples as he realized the cog's control system was somehow getting inside his head, which was the only way he could have been able to control all 18 bits simultaneously and with such precision.  However as the strain intensified, the bits became increasingly harder to control, but Solomon would never admit that; he was too busy trying to show off.

""That's incredible!" Israfil spoke up.  This unfortunately got Solomon's attention, and as he turned his focus on Orpheus, so too did the bits.  Without warning, some of the bits started firing on Orpheus, while others simply rammed into it mindlessly.  It was all Israfil could do to make Orpheus close its shields around itself, but it had already sustained considerable damage.  The bits continued the attack.
