That doesn't sound like my supervisor...what is going on here?  Bailey decided to play along, just in case this was real.  "Slight problem with that.  My mech is temorarily out of commission.  Another Imperial agent is currently scouting for parts.  Unless you're able to send a repair team, it'll be about a day before we make it back in."  She paused, wondering if that sounded too insubordinate.  She decides to soften up a little.  "I'll report the moment I get back to base."  Then, deciding the information would be worth the risk, she decides to ask a question.  "And if I may ask...how the heck did you get this frequency?"

ERIN was not happy.  The one her files indicated as Curtis was not standing down as she had hoped.  Instead, it seemed he had a plan of some kind to damage or even destroy the mechs.  That was unacceptable.  Although their would not harm her, Mistress Bailey had specifically instructed that these mechs were to be obtained to further her plan.

However, no plan was unassailable...and the Mistress always was good at improvising.

ERIN paused for a full quarter of a second, considering her charge and the role her current assignment would play in the protection of that charge.  She could only command both mechs simultaneously to perform very simple actions, like moving individual limbs, firing from a stationary position at a single target, or walking slowly to a common destination.  More complex actions like true combat or even retreat would require her to alternate her attention between the two mechs, leaving one of them vulnerable while she controlled the other.  Assessing the mechs' strengths and weaknesses, she determined that the Rebel mech's durability would give it a greater chance of survival, while the Blitz' stealth capabilities would allow her to hide it nearby and return for it later--now that she has been in contact with it, it will be child's play to locate it again.

ERIN has the Blitz race away and hide inside the entrance to a different nearby canyon.  She activates its stealth mode, then returns her attention to the Rebel Mech.

For tactical purposes, this mech needs a designation.  From now on, this mech will be...The Revenant.
