"It's done." Nadia threw the kunai to - no, AT her brother.
He caught it, observing the new circuitry. "You really are a genius."
She took off her glasses and put them in her coat pocket. "Oh please. Anyone who fancies themself a M/ECA head should've been able to see that issue. I'm sorry I didn't pick it up sooner. If you look at how I modified the..."
"Whoa whoa, sis. Don't get all techie on me. You know I don't understand that stuff. Piloting's my forte; gizmos are yours."
She huffed. "Fine. But you should probably know that it's more power efficient than it was before. It'll do more damage and last longer before it fizzles out."
Flynn looked up. "Awesome, you're the best. Any new upgrades?"
She smiled. "Nah, not today. Anyway, why don't you tell me about that remote M/ECA you encountered? I'm not footing the bill for your hobby so you can go blasting things all willy nilly for nothing."
"Whatever you pulled from Valek's sensor array is all I could gather. I was about to get the jump on a pair of M/ECA to gather sentient combat data when that other one fired at us. I briefly teamed up with one of them to take it down because its shielding was too strong."
"So you only got a little combat data from the other two?" She sighed, a little disappointed.
Flynn smirked, withdrawing an optical disk from inside his coat. "Sister dear, you know I'd never disappoint you."
She blinked. "What's that?"
"This is the AI algorithm I downloaded from the remote control M/ECA, along with detailed analyses of three other M/ECAs that were there at the time. Weapons, technologies, shields and frame models, you name it, it's on there. You can cross reference everything on it with The Network and probably find out where these pilots had breakfast last week." He handed it over. "All for you."
Nadia smiled to herself. That's my brother for ya. Too damn smart for his own good.
