[i]“It doesn’t matter to me if ya see it and the Turn-XCEED isn’t something you can just defeat just by knowing about it. I’ll take ya up on that offer, but the Turn-XCEED’s builder’s currently a three times Mejin Cup winner, think ya can handle it?”[/i]

Riku narrowed his eyes a bit, detecting a bit of a challenge to those words, "I built the Yamato, didn't I?" he asked Kai, tilting his gaze over to where the flagship was currently resting, "Trust me, I can handle it." he hadn't noticed until now that Naoki was walking in along with one of the two mercs from the other day. Looked like he only managed to snag one of them.

[i]"May I have everyones attention!!! I'd like to introduce the 6th member of Team Imagine Victory, Ryoichi Seiten!"[/i]

[i]"...As for everyone else, its nice to meet you," he greeted, bowing slightly. "It'll be a rollcoaster battling alongside you all."[/i]

"I'm Riku." he said to the new guy with a bit of a lazy wave, "I guess you could say I'm the resident engineer around here. You know, if for some reason you need help with builds or repairs. The Yamato over there is my pride and joy, so try not to get it destroyed, yeah?" he said this with a quick point of his thumb over the direction of the resting flagship.

"Oh yeah, and speaking of..." he pulled out his smartphone, "...I've made some adjustments to her, Naoki. Here's the updated specs for you." he sent over a text file containing the Yamato's latest specs. Most of the improvements were minor, but there were two notable changes. Firstly, the GN Drive/Condenser setup had been replaced by a more energy efficient Twin Drive System. This allowed for the second notable change to the specs. The Wave Motion Cannon's 60 second charging time had been reduced to approximately 58.5 seconds. 1.5 seconds didn't seem like much to an untrained eye, but was a significant difference in battles where every second or fraction of a second could count.

"And on that subject, I need to give the cannon a new test run. If anyone's interested in lending a hand on that front." he had a test in mind, but running it would be much less tedious with an extra set of hands or two helping him. If he did his math right, the ship's new Twin Drive System might have also increased the actual power of the cannon as well, and this was what needed to be tested.
