I swear if that thing turn one of the women on base into mecha piloting magical girl.
I dunno man, if he's a magical girl artifact we could be dealing with a Kyubey-analogue. Make sure we get the exact details of what he's doing.

Possibly Kamen Rider or Symphogear (sans singing maybe). Either way, improvements over the normal K-Suits.
EDIT:
What are the chances if Captain Sasaki being verrrrrrry skeptical of Regent, due to both paranoia AND Genre Savvyness? I wouldn't put it past her to watch other anime besides mecha shows.

Honestly I'm more interested in studying whatever science he can provide us with than having him be bonded to anyone. I'd advise being incredibly cautious with going along with anything that is offered and making sure to get all of the facts and risks before agreeing to anything.
Judging by the previous interlude about Reggie and how he's outlining his goals it's obvious that he's only considering helping us so that we can in turn help him with his problems, and that means that he has no loyalty to us. If the Westphalians had picked him up he may have just as well chosen one of them to "empower".
One thing to consider is that even if we help him get back to Varulne and save his people they may not be too friendly. He specifically mentioned that they were great warriors and orators and that they were ruled by a prince. That to me screams of a class system ruled by elite noble "champions" who hoard all the tech and historically that kind of nation isn't really the best at external diplomacy.

Actually based on his dialogue? 70% certain his compatibility list MUST be based on descent from their royal line.
I.e. the crash was probably centuries ago and our pilot is a lost 3/4 human space princess

Crazy speculation: somebody drops the box (this one or any next one) into a vat of K-tissue.
... And the speakers are playing blues. Or jazz.
But isn't a Beautiful Foreing Prince one of the typical Teenage Romance Fantasies? Don't girls (usually) dream of being/becoming/being treated like a princess?
Like so.
On a somewhat unrelated tangent, what's up with Carlson playing nothing but metal in his labs? If he never tried any other music genre, it would be completely uncientific. Is he secretly a metalhead (or whatever the proper term is)? Even then, I did personally know a metalhead, who had a tremendous appreciacion for all kinds of music, even some ridiculous genres. Or is his staff still fighting over what to play, and metal is the only compromise they all can agree on?
Yeah, that was a useless rant. Having said that, if the artifact IS a Symphogear, I would not be opposed to singing. Not opposed at all.

Don't the TMus have an air-robot form? One not very good at the moment though. The Tertius I mean.
Thankfully with less obnoxious pilots. And more useful.
Well drat, no MEgaman for me.
She's not glad about having made 1d4 physicians cry this time?
Poor Devin was subjected to see "mature" Magical Girl shows and now he can't trust any of them ever.
You mean Rockman.
In before Sasaki goes Sailor Moon.
That's a good idea! We must experiment for science! As well as having these brain-computers already.
IIRC they tried different music already, metal worked better. Still, I wonder what would happen if they played Jazz and classic music if only to see the results.

She has mixed opinions when someone else does it to her.
Pretty much this.
Edit: Though now I'm planning to write a fun Carlson report about it at some point.

I have moral objections to sticking an AI that is so close to human into a war machine. Maybe instead we just build him a smaller more human like avatar and make it so he wares or pilots the super robot. I don't want to make a person and force them into being a soldier. I think that that kind of thing must be a personal choice.
Put the AI in a Steed. Then its basically a pilot.
Dunno how well it does for computing power.

Well, Blues/Protoman was the first one created by Light and he is the first AI of the mech line.

Not this shit again...
This is a quest based in a good Super Robot show. The AI/s will totally be okay to be warriors of the human race, and will not complain about doing so. Why waste time whining about social issues when there's rocket-punching to be done?
Besides, the other AIs so far have been doing fine with little issue.
Beowulf (seriously, it needs a better Roman-themed name) will gladly step up to fight for humanity instead of ranting about how "he shouldn't run away".

Why roman?
The whole theme was international, mythical heroes for various lines for our flagship, Core Units.
Beowulf was first, Perseus was second.
The dropship is called the Pegasus because that's the first mythical mount we could come up with. I'd probably be okay with a second one being the Sleipnir.

Step one of creating an AI: Ensure that by design it will enjoy its job
Step two: Make sure said job is either endlessly repeatable without harm or make sure theres a retirement plan it'd enjoy too.

Any other good mythological hero names we can use? The Union is suppose to be international so would love to include other myths from various cultures from all over.
D'arc
Nobunaga (Totally counts because of the amount of time after he died in this quest)
Heracles
Achilles
Gilgamesh
Sigurd
Cu Chulainn (possible just Chulainn)
Human history has a lot of mythology to pull from. These are just off the top of my head.
Really liking the quest, It nails tone perfectly and is really fun to read as a result.

If we do a Nobunaga it has to be our ranged specialist unit with the nickname "Nobunagun".

If we want a serious ranged unit I would recommend turning a self-propelled artillery vehicle into a mecha.

@hcvquizibo, @HeavyBane
It's fine to raise concerns like that. I don't promise I will always be able to act on them, but I'll at least listen and address them as best I can.
This is not a setting that dives into logical ramifications, but I understand where @hcvquizibo is coming from. I just advise in the future that you keep in mind the tone of this quest and the setting it draws inspiration from.
All the same, never feel like you can't raise any concerns you have.

As Max found out, anti-gravity doesn't really do the whole 'float above the ground' deal that sci-fi tends to see it as. At least, not the version you and the Legion have. It works more to lower the weight of existing metal.
Could you push it that way? Sure. But you'll have to invest effort to replicating that specific result.

Will we even have the chance to develop true Anti Gravity? I don't mean lowering mass but actually standing on a floor in space and not floating away.
