On his way back to the HQ the words of Ariel keep lingering in Maximilian's mind. The risk of nuclear warfare is high. And on top of it, it might take too long to become deployable too.
And while going over the alternatives he remembers this old - somewhat eccentric - scientist that was talking about nuclear powered robot suits. At that moment Maximilian and everybody else laughed the idea away. Maybe he should look him up again, and listen to what he has to say.
As could be expected the man in question - Ghuepecco - is ecstatic about Maximilian's visit. He explains the concept, and most of all stresses that it could be put into production at a relative short period.
Maximilian likes the idea and gives his go ahead. As soon as he is out of the door, Ghuepecco goes to his drawing board.
He is so excited that one after the other drawing flows from his fingers.
