[x] Go talk it over with your friends in the civil mecha shop: see what advice they have for you. Your trip to Mexico dug up some black magic in the hydraulics department, and someone there has to have a sound understanding of how to make it all jive together. Sage wisdom might not help when it comes from the same hidebound fools who make the issues to start with (Uses Exotics, replaces traditional mechanical transmission w/ hydrostatic model. You may find yourself working with things beyond your understanding.)
 
Likely wont win, but..

[x] To hell with it all: you will go back there and beat the transmission around the head until the metal bends to your whims. You can see the starstuff leaking out the seams in the diagrams, that little spark of magic all mecha designers have- and yours will not be denied. (Uses Madness, makes the transmission work well enough to finish the prototype. Risks the costs of Madness, and makes a production model more difficult to engineer.)

YOLO!

[X] Go to church in the morning, ask with a clear head and clear heart for advice, and then knuckle down to peeling apart the onion of failure here. The math lines up: something else is what is wrong. Find it and drive it out. Standard troubleshooting hasn't failed you yet: you just need the patience of a saint to handle this many moving issues. (Uses Time, explores transmission issues deeply. You may need to change your plans.)

Remember, we own this mecha, not Hotchkiss, so if it does actually sell, it's going to get us an independant revenue stream.

I really don't want to spend unique resources on this.

Probably not the case but this almost makes me think divine intervention or something.

Wasn't the option that involved machine spirits as an exotic option passed over....Pretty sure that was mentioned before.

Power it with a sacrificed monkey and some wine. Troops in the field will do it anyway. :)

For me its this or madness, Because I am that kind of person.

We did cross the Atlantic just for this, it's high time we use it.

We're a mecha designer. If we can't invoke powers beyond mortal ken to see our nightmares given life, who can?

Ah yes, the eldritch knowledge of how to get machines working, reminds me of my engineering and robotic classes already. Given what engineers are capable of, I have no doubt this will somehow drive some random person mad, maybe two or three if we are lucky. But who needs sanity in this world anyhow, is it nothing but a bother in a world gone mad? At the very least we are somewhat sane and in control of our faculties... for now.

C'mon guys, we spent an entire story arc to get this tech, we should at least try to use it...

Normally I'd be uncertain or uncomfortable using hydrodynamics in sensitive mechanical components, but hydrostatic transmission is just the right blend of unorthodox orthodoxy that makes me feel like it could work.

Are we using generic water, or do we have access to dedicated hydraulic fluid?
