Perhaps, but A: Jal's in a bitchy mood, B: She got transferred with no warning, and thus has no familiarization with the interior layout of the base, C; She tried to hack the lift pad to override the emergency stop, not just punch the button, and, It's generally safe to assume that the hangar is Four (or More) 'Floors' high so the larger Bipedal 'mechs, Aka. Aren's and Max's don't have to squat-walk out of the thing.<br/><br/>Plus, despite her background and history of being a greasemonkey, Jal is also a creature of convenience, especially when she's covered in dust and grease from having to climb around inside her 'Mech's not-cockpit areas.<br/><br/>So, It's less 'the only lift in the base' as it is more 'the only lift in the base that anyone's bothered to show me, and because it's a military base, there's no maps in case of hostile incursion' Yadda Yadda Yadda. End Result though is that Jal was still being bitchy.
