IC: Taia Sal - Drop Dials, screens, readouts, ammo counts...Taia made careful note of everything. Of course, she always made sure to do after battle maintenance, but it was always wise to make sure everything was in working order. Taia double checked to make sure her primary weapon was fully functional. Without it, she was effectively useless...so she always took extra care with it. And as always, the laser was in perfect working condition. She breathed out a sigh of relief. Sure, it hasn't failed her yet...but any mission could be her last. "This is Tiger Two, reporting in. Shadowrend is ready to tangle." She adjusted her controls, gripping the bulk of the massive laser in her Mech's free hand. She had to be able to move it at a moments notice, after all. Moving that amount of weight with only one arm on such a light Mech? Ridiculous.
