Edison smiled, and lit his cigarette, which, although it violated base protocol, air cleanliness and all that, nobody was about to stop the cyborg with a whacking big knife from smoking. The Power Faction Engineer had asked a question, and the Space Faction woman had answered vaguely, not giving him a straight answer either way. Suspicious. Edison was of a mind that you'd have to keep an eye on all Space Faction people, especially on this mission. Smirking at the woman's non-answer, he smiled, and waving with his metal hand at the two, he said, "Well, I'm a combat engineer, and a fighter. Metal Faction trains us well, after all."
Looking around, and still smiling, he said, "However, there is one thing I have to address before we take on this job, otherwise, I'm fine. Can we talk about why there's a woman in full Space Faction dress, on a mission AGAINST SPACE FACTION?" He held his hands out, shaking his head, and taking a long drag on his cigarette, he continued.
"I mean, YEAH, she could be a salvager, or a smuggler, but c'mon. What are the chances that those are her real jobs?" Smiling, he looked the woman in the eyes and winked. "However, I really don't care if she is or not. I'm just reserving the 'called it' rights."
He really didn't care one way or another, his words weren't just all talk. He could handle the woman, he had taken out countless others like her. It's what he was trained to do, so he was completely ready. He would work with her, for now, unless she tried to interfere with the mission.
Ah, Space Faction. What do I remember about their W.A.R. Suits... Let's see. Light and maneuverable, with decent firepower (Space Faction's infantry weapons are pretty powerful, but with little defense, compared to my Bolter. ) Edison had fought against Space Faction forces on the polar cap, where they had tried to create a base planetside. Despite the fancy tech Space Faction had, the skill and power of the Metal Faction machines and pilots had overwhelmed the relatively few soldiers Space Faction had sent. It was a mistake they wouldn't make twice, after they tried to raze a Metal settlement, a large mine. They regretted that incursion as well, getting beaten back by one of the two Titans Metal Faction had built. Each Titan was equivalent to a small capital ship in terms of firepower, but they had relatively low mobility, as a trade-off for their obscene firepower and armor. It was one of the reasons that the two main Metal Faction mines hadn't been taken by anyone else, and also a reason Metal Faction couldn't threaten anyone with them.
Looking around the room, Edison asked, "So is there anything else we'd like to cover before we begin?"
