The suit had the thin profile of other interceptors, a design
built primarily for speed. It was a little shorter than the suits
the ODF and SAC used, and it looked a little lighter. The head
had a smooth face with only a slight hint of features. There were
two eyes, hidden in the shadow cast by a helmet like brow.
It's obvious armament was the plasma rifle it held cradled in
both arms. On the left arm was a buckler like shield.
"What do you think?" Ree asked Tess. They stood in the crowd below
the new suit, looking up at it.
"Looks fast."
"No obvious missile racks."
"I don't think it is carrying much in the way of missiles, like
the rest of us. The shows about to start."
Ree craned her neck, looking where Tess was. Dr. Roberts was circling
around the main group, making for a raised platform at the foot
of her suit design. The talking died down as people watched her.
She climbed the steps and turned to face everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen," she called out, quieting the last pockets
of conversation. "Thank you for coming today. I would like to
introduce you to the Loviatar." She made a grand gesture, indicating
the suit behind her.
"As you have no doubt noticed, it is armed with a standard plasma
rifle. I hope to replace that with a Mark 2 version I am working
on right now. It will have a bit more power and range, but that
is for later.
"Within the shoulders are a set of simple counter missiles, they
will augment the laser pod in the head when necessary. Also, there
are 5 missiles within the torso which should serve when it is
facing other suits.
"For in close fighting, I have tried something new."
There was a sound, metal sliding over metal, and from the inside
of the Loviatar's right wrist a steel whip slid out.
That brought some laughter from the crowd, a little of it sounding
uncomfortable.
"What's up?" Ree asked Tess, sure something was going on that
she was missing.
"Rumor has it that Dr. Roberts is a bit of a sadist in the bedroom."
"Oh," Ree said, smiling. "At least she has a sense of humor about
it."
On the platform Emila gave her audience a little time to talk
amongst themselves, letting them have a little fun, and letting
a few have extra time to feel nervous.
"While certainly not a standard weapon, you should not discount
it. It will cut right through the armour of a Vigen, and it can
be used for entangling attacks. If you don't realize the value
of that, my test pilot ripped the rifle out of a Draken's hands
when it went by at speed."
The sense of amusement died down at the people on the floor considered
what she had just said.
"Added to that, the whip is connected to the suits power plant.
It can deliver an electrical shock directly into opposing suits
and more importantly their pilots. If it does not kill them, it
will probably leave them unable to act for several seconds. I'm
sure you can appreciate the effect that will have," she smiled
at the assembled crowd.
"It is faster than both the Vigen and the Zephry, and can match
the Vogel. It also matches the maneuverability of both the aforementioned
interceptors.
"With Miss Belin's armour and control system, it should be more
than a match for the other interceptors, and will perform admirably
inits role".
"Mr. Shiva," Ree said, "what do you think of the new suit?"
He turned his attention to Ree. "I have no opinion as a pilot
as I have not flown it yet. As a businessman, it is a promising
design. As for the name, if my encyclopedia database is correct,
Loviatar was the Finnish goddess of pain. Good day ladies. Miss
Belin, I'll be looking forward to seeing the Arrow unveiled."
He nodded to them, sort of a bow, then turned and walked away.
"I think Dr. Roberts is slightly insane," Ree said.
"At least she didn't call it the Sade, or something like that."
