Cold air filled the Echo 54 base located in Neighpon. The soldiers continued their usual nights of patrolling or resting. Boots made the metal floors clanked throughout the dimly lit, empty halls. From inside the mech docking area, the machines were standing in their own docked spots, where wires and clamps held them upright. The room was dark, and not a peep came. The entire room was almost like an industrialized child's room, where lifeless dolls were displayed, rather than a docking area of killing machines. Among them, Kiryu had its own space in the corner to compensate for its significantly larger size. The machine's armor was buffed up recently, bearing a few quickly replaced metal panels to make up for its last battle and save on expenses. Its once destroyed optic was replaced and hidden behind the glass visor, which was completely dark.
Outside of the base, a mist began to flow through the grass, slithering onto the grounds of the base. The mist passed the boots of any soldier standing guard for the night, and seeped its way under the metal doors of the base. It continued to flow through the dimly lit base, navigating through the halls as if it had a mind of its own.
The mist then stopped flowing and turned down another hall, where it seeped through the mech docking bay. Here, the mist proceeded to flow passed the mechs that remained inactive in their lifeless state. However, it surrounded the feet of Kiryu and flowed into the gaps of the machine.
The Arrogance of Man Chapter 70, coming very soon....
