Inside the meeting room, the room was entirely black with a giant white pentagon shaped table that was vastly hollow in the centre. And in the hollow centre is an authentic black dais, which in reality was a hologram projector.

"I almost forgot to inform you all about your 4th and last member of your team." Rojin stopped in his tracks and adjusted his glasses, all the while with his back turned against us. "You may report in for duty, lieutenant Isa."

The familiar silky white pony tail, pale face, stormy grey eyes, and tall mature build. This time she wore a grey muscle shirt with camo pants and black combat boots.

"Sir!?!?!?" I stuttered for a moment. "But I thought you were instructing the students at the boot camp..."

"It is an emergency situation." Isa crossed her arms and said with a low hard edged voice. "And there is someone to take up my position while I am absent."

"I see sir..."

"Anyways, lets quickly get to the meeting. So everyone sit down." Rojin said with an authoritative voice as he took a seat at centre.
Isa and Hakuya took the seat beside him, while me and Kuro took the seat furthest from him.

"I would like to make a few pointers before I jump into the main topic. This operation, operation Dice is a level A secret operation. No info about the operation is to be given to family or even the closest of friends, mishandling info can directly lead to military court marshal." Rojin said with his hands knitted.

Silence.

"Good, moving on." Rojin tapped something on the desk and instantly the hologram in the centre came to life, displaying a screen:

"This morning we have received reports of mass spread riot across the city." The screen displayed a video of people mass crowding the street, as they were segregated by a wall of legion and police, with a couple Goliath behind, adding size to them.

"The legion and Goliath drones are currently deployed as a mob deterrent. The city borders are closed at the moment, no one gets in, no one gets out, until the culprit is captured."

"Our military experts suggest that this was am organized attack by a group. The current identity of Mr. Six is under investigation at the moment, as the military is still going through a list of highly potential suspects. Someone who understands how special forces operates, and psychological warfare."

"Currently Mr. Six has been rated a S rank threat by the Iron fist. There is a shortage of agents at this very moment, so we will have to do with the resource we have. Currently he has not shown himself again, so we shall remain in a standby position, until we resurfaces. As it is very unlikely this was all he was going for..."

Silence.

Seeing the silence as opportunity raised my hand like a school kid.

"Speak, sergeant Kardusenn." Rojin said and everyone in the room looked to me.

"When we are out there, would it be our job to stop the riot?" I asked.

"That will be none of your concern. That will be the police's job to handle it."

"Oh ok." My hand died down.

"Any more-" Rojin's voice was cut off by a blaring alarm, as the entire hologram screen turned red.

"Switch to the emergency channel." Rojin said in a composed manner.

The screen switched and what was shown next made my heart feel like it was balancing on a spike.

Blood.
Scream.
Bodies.

The Legion and Goliath began opening fire on the protestors. Its shots cut through the front line like it was red butter, leaving rows of body like fallen dominos.

It looks like the end of the world...

"Emergency deactivation code 1042-AJ!" Rojin shoot up from his chair at once.

"Access denied." Came a robotic female voice from the projector.

"Curses!" Rojin slammed his fist on the table, and a brief moment later, Rojin straightened his back again and spoke in a clear loud voice:

"All members of special task force, suit up!"

This was like my 2nd favourite part in an action movie, other then the action its self. The gearing up process.

"Wait a second." I spoke up. "Those drones are controlled by the hacker, right? If they are all controlled by the hacker, then wouldn't the ones here in this factory be controlled as well?"

The whole place was as silent as a tomb with the only audible thing being the screams and gunshots coming from the hologram video.

"There is no need to worry." Hakuya spoke up gently. "The ones here do not have their energy cores installed yet, so they couldn't be activated even if we wanted it to."

"I see." I rubbed my chin.

"All your MS is on their way of transportation and will be arriving on the first floor in 3 minutes. Now everyone to the elevator." Rojin said, his voice final.

The 4 of us followed him out of the mansion and back to the elevator we came from again, except this time there was no hover buggy to pick us up, and we all had to run for 1 minute straight before we could get to the elevator.

Once we all got inside and immediately after the door close, a relaxing elevator music came on for about a good 60 seconds straight, before we were released back into the harsh reality of the emergency.

4 unmanned carts, each holding a 10ft tall white cylinder came and stopped about 10ft away from us. As we approached, the cylinders opened up like white lotus blooming in cold mist. And once the mist evaporated the contents became clear.

Ah...

I marveled at my own mobile suit for a moment. It stood about 2 meters tall, with most of its steel body being grey, with occasional orange coating here and there.

My Iron angel...

A grin appeared from the corner of my mouth.

Curious I looked to the others MS:
Cyclops, Kuro's MS. It was coated in full black paint, with a laser dot red eye in the center of her helmet.

Freelancer, Isa's MS. It was coated mostly in white paint, with a red stripe around certain parts of the body.

Hakuya's MS was one I have not seen before. And it appeared very similar to mine, except its visor part was slightly different designed.

"What's you MS called?" I turned and asked Hakuya.

"Kazeno G5 type-B." She replied with smile, as she walked towards her MS, and at the last moment she turned her back to it. And then like magnet to another magnet, the parts of her MS began attaching themselves to her piece by piece.

I recall Dr. Cherrylove mentioning this type of "auto equip" feature was only available to 5th generation MS and beyond. So only and Hakuya can do it, and poor Isa and Kuro has to equip them manually...The best way to describe that process is like wearing a mascot costume, where you have to get inside the suit first and zip it up yourself. With no time to waste, I came up to my own MS, and procced to lay back and let my armor do its job. The whole equipping process took about 30 seconds. Once it was completed, I jumped off the cylinder, and procced to stretch and warm up.

"Emmmm~" I made a sound as I stretched.

"Stop making weird noises! Everyone is looking at you!" Rin's voice came through my helmet.

"I can't help it!" I argued back.

"Smh!" Rin's kaomoji face shook in the corner of my visor.

"Whatever." I said, dismissing her.

"Play time is over." Rojin snapped.

"The hover craft is waiting outside at gate 4. We will discuss plans during the flight. And as your superior, I wish you all good luck." He saluted us, and instinctively we all saluted back.
By that point, Isa and Kuro has finished suiting up as well. Then in an unsynchronized march, we began to head for the hovercraft.

Q: What would you do against a robot legion?
