When Mhegan finally stopped dancing, she jumped off the mech to run to climb back into her's. "Spyder, Launch all the working drones and keep an eye and ear out. I'm going to pull the comp core and take it back in the drone bay. It's too valuable to leave out here for the weather to ruin. Army Intelligence will want to look it."<br/><br/>She moved the mech over onto the fallen machine. The front legs resting on the hips, the back on the ground, the head leaning down into the open cavity so the headlighhts could illuminate the opening. Once the mech was in place, she climbed out, with a portable toolkit and cutting torch in hand as she went back into the cratered mech's chest. It took nearly an hour of intense work for her to seperate the computer core from the mech's innards and the undamaged molycircuitry.<br/><br/>By the time it was done, the sun was definately going down. The core was stored away securely in the drone bay. Then climbing back into her  mech, Mhegan finsihed the battlefield  check, tagging the rest of the mech.<br/><br/>Back at the base, she settled her mech into it's hanger and popped her cockpit. "What the fu.. Spyder, where is everyone? Isn't anyone watchign the sensors?" She asked, seeing no one at all. The various damaged mech were parked, some in partially dismanteled for repair.<br/><br/><strong>The others are occupied in their quarters. Base defences are on automatic.</strong>Spyder replied,  as it switched off it's systems. Mhegan's AI, unlike Shizen's, was built into the mech. It was capable of handling an immense amount of battlefield data, but was large enough it was ackward to carry with it's own internal power source, EM shielding and communication apparatus.<br/><br/>Mhegan growled. "Fine. Keep the drones out, I'm going to use a towmech and drag in a few of the damaged enemy ones. SOMEONE needs to do a post battle check. This wasn't a random attack, they were after something and I don't want more to sneak up on us. The last thing we need is another attack." She slapped the side of her machine as she climbed down. Quickly she mounted the large mech they used for towing back battle damaged mech. It was idiot simple. A large plain mech, built for stength and steadiness, and not speed. It was strong enough to tow two of the largest mech in a heavy trailor.<br/><br/>She fired  the towmech up and headed out to start retrieving the ones she had decided where the most valuable, since she hadn't had any reply from anyone in the base.
