Though it no longer had access to any wireless networks, he could at least start uploading the software he had intended to install in Tomo. Rio appeared to be thinking things over, though he couldn't tell, so he spoke to the Vickie. "Alright Tomo, since we've got a moment, I'm going to start installing your upgraded software.  You'll most likely be able to operate while this is uploading, though I might be wrong."<br/>Turning his attention back to Rio, he commented, "I was granted permission to modify this unit here, in the hopes of improving the combat Vickies as a whole. I was just picking her up from storage when we were transported here. I've been calling her Tomo to differentiate her from the other Vickies."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"I'm not so sure," Rio replied to his suggestion.  "Where we are is tactically unsound.  We've got our backs to the water, with absolutely no means of escape aside from swimming, which could prove hazardous in these waters, I don't know."  She paused and looked around.  "Perhaps if once the upload is finished, we could move to another location, one that is much more defensible than this one."  Some place with high ground, and limited avenues of approach, was her thinking.  Here, the only direction that they couldn't be approached from was the water and even that wasn't a sure thing.<br/><br/>"Why would you want to modify a Vicky, anyway?  They're mainly meant as support personnel, at best.  And Orpheus has probably had a whole team of people working on the best design for them for years...what's the point of doing it if you're not going to be able to convince them to change their design?"
