[i]Adrien was amazed that one person could wear something like that without getting crushed to death. [/i]

He deduced that most likely it had internal supports, along with an exoskeleton most likely. The soldier turned their head to face him then, catching a glimpse and then skimming by. Although after a second they turned back, and a familiar voice was heard. "Adrian?"
-
[i]Sadly Adrien hadn't even considered an exo, not knowing what it was at all. Though the voice he did know, and he gave a brief wave to the person. "Hey." [/i]
-
"Thought you would never show up." Minx chuckled then, her face hidden under the helmet as she planted her hands on her hips.
-
[i]"Well I needed a job, and i couldn't pass up more time with the only normal person in town," Adrien said to her with a light laugh, as he crossed his arms and leaned back on his left leg. [/i]
-
"Didn't intend for first impressions to be this mess, hooked up to wires and shit while the eddheads run tests." She shrugged, a few of the scientists rolling their eyes.
-
[i]"Couldn't be worse than one I'd get at the Dojo, right?" [/i]
-
"True enough. So, how are you liking it all so far? Not the best but its still good."
-
[i]"Better than I thought if I'm being honest. Didn't think I liked it, but I'll get used to the military lifestyle soon enough." [/i]
-
"Its rough at first, but gets better. Training will suck, but you need to be able to shoot straight and carry a hundred plus pounds of gear."
-
[i]"Just like the Romans, but with guns. If a bunch of skirt wearing gladiators can do it, I probably can." [/i]
-
"Its not too hard, yeah." She chuckled then, proceeding to do a little twirl and modeling. "Whatya think?"
-
[i]"I think that armour would look great in a fashion show. Rubicon's twenty-eighteen spring lineup?" Adrien smugly asked, tilting his head as a small smile crept onto his face. [/i]
-
She grinned, striking a pose, hand above hand and her right arm on her hip, turned towards him. "Hell yeah recently designed and everything." She giggled then, standing normal once more.
-
[i]"So are you guys testing it, or is that your suit?" [/i]
-
"This one specifically is mine, first of a new breed of armor."
-
[i]"Nice, what'll it be used for?" [/i]
-
"Combat, it is power armor after all." She chuckled then.
-
[i]"Well yeah, but surely there's other things too right? You could do a forklift's job with that suit at half the cost and twice the speed." [/i]
-
"I could, yeah. There's a lot of things the armor can do, but its mostly meant for combat."
-
[i]"Gotcha. Do yo- We, see much of it out here?" [/i]
-
"Mostly on Valkyrie, such as myself. Valkyrie are super soldiers, stronger, faster, one man armies. I am one, and its easy to tell because of the height."
-
[i]"A Valkyrie, aren't you supposed to bring me to Valhalla?" Adrien jokingly questioned to her, not knowing that was the deck where people actually slept. [/i]
-
She grinned. "Sadly not that kind of Valkyrie, there's men too. " She flexed her shoulders then. "So, want to see what this tech can do?"
-
[i]"Yeah, got any ideas as to how you'll show it off?" [/i]
-
She remained silent then, grinning under the helmet. Outreaching her left arm to the side and planting her right on her hip, a black fluid seeped from her gauntlet, pooling in her hand, then began forming a long staff, topping out with three long, sharp blades, making a trident.
