Key skilfully settled the massive Chashmal onto the ground with the others, its small back legs and massive arms giving it a gorilla-like posture, something she ever-so-slightly exaggerated by having it walk on its knuckles, it just seemed the natural way such a thing should move to her, and her thoughts influenced its reality.<br/><br/>The inside was quite different however, far more like a dragon than a gorilla, the Ashcroft techs had warned her that Chashmals tended to be proud and ferocious. But that turned out to be a understatement and after spending so long in a container, its fury was a constant rumble in the back of her mind, distant thunder. She also got the vague impression that it thought her unit-mates would be more worthy opponents than the near-stationary target drones, but that was neither here nor there.<br/><br/>Sitting in the fluid filled pod, Key relaxed, letting her body drift away the way shed been taught, and assuming direct control over the Engel's. Its four crimson eyes flashed and its head lifted to the heavens with a heavy deep growl, with the kind of bass you feel as much as you hear. The head swung sideways to regard the watchers for a moment, then out to the field, Key mentally painting a target that no one else was shooting at. “Winter, Firing.” She announced, and outside the massive Chashmal a roiling angry ball of red-orange energy crackled into life at the tip of the ridge jutting out from its chest, and after a moment, fired. At the same time, its linked laser cannons fired from their perches on either side of its collar, the twin laser beams and the charge beam all lancing into the same target and slagging it.<br/><br/>Personally, she was caught between conflicting feelings about all this, on the one hand, were there not better uses for a bunch of engels and mecha than putting on a show? On the other, she did like to perform. Finally, she sighed, and marked one of the closer drones that was still standing. “Winter.... Charging, watch your shots please.”<br/><br/>Whatever those fancy govt types were expecting from the demo, it probably wasnt a 55 foot armoured gorilla charging across the firing range, which is exactly what they got. The Chashmals hands were massive, a good 16 feet wide, tipped with acid laced talons. The Engel lifted one hand at the end of its charge and slammed the drone, open handed, across its head and shoulders, smashing it to the ground as it unbalanced. Looming over it,<em>Key</em>unsheathed her talons, letting them sink into its armoured torso for a better grip, then wrapped her other hand around its legs, kicking feebly as they tried  to continue walking, the AI too stupid to realize its pathetic existence was about to end. She lifted the drone over her head, and with a bass growl,<strong>ripped it in half</strong>. She held them over her head in triumph for a moment, falling bits of sheared metal bouncing off her armoured form, then she-<em>then the Chashmal</em>slammed the two halves into the ground, done with them.<br/><br/>
