Had she not been able to anticipate his eagerness Sona surely would have flown off the mech’s shoulder. Her own heels dug in, mentally and physically grounding herself as the speed whipped her long, pale hair violently around.
The annoying thing about “common” machines - tanks, drones, planes, mechs - was the inability to control them or perceive their automated movements. Without a real brain there was nothing for Sona to connect with. No psychic mind-hacking to be had there. No seeing them before they were a threat. Only the more specialized psycho-AI machines the BRG employed in specific circumstances had any chance of being effected that way, if barely. So taking over Draven’s mech was out of the question.
The flip side, of course, is all such war machines were little more than toys anyway. Things to be cast aside if they got in her way. This one just happened to be useful right now. And its pilot, who very much had a brain that she could very much read, was very accommodating. She found that quite curious.
A thrill seeker? Ah. This one thrives on trouble. That could be a problem. That could be useful. It would likely be both.
She could feel a familiar vibration as they rapidly approached Sona’s target location. Her GEIST unit was near. Of all psycho-AI capable machines it was perhaps one of the most advanced - and especially tuned to Sona.
<We are approaching the target> she alerted Draven, <You may leave me here. It’s me they ultimately want.>
