What was more, Sprite recognized him. She had worked on the smaller machine several times. It had started as one of many side projects, this one beginning as a purchase of extra junk and old parts, part of a buy Turtle made. He gave them to her to add to her collection, but as a surprise, she rebuilt the original minimecha for Turtle’s birthday.

The original makers had intended the product for kids, but Sprite saw the potential. She gave it a few upgrades in externals and a software mod to add battle strategy, weapons use, and an immature AI.
