Lead by Example [Kyla]

Nyke nodded silently as Kyla provided more ideas. The trip was proving to be very beneficial as they could parse out their idea together and keep suggesting things. Playing off each other was helpful and having examples close by even more so. As for the gun sword, it was weird, but that was what made it interesting. It was unexpected and unconventional, so it would be useful in helping others prepare for just that kind of thing. Nyke took a step back. She shifted the majority of her weight on to that leg and placed her hand on her hip as she looked over the weapons that were on display on the racks and in the cases. There was a lot here in terms of offensive, but what about defense. Sure, she was planning to develop the robots with the intention of them being destroyed. But if they feel apart like paper, they weren't any more useful than the cardboard they had now. Like Kyla was saying, crafting the machines to deal with the quirks present at the school was very useful. Making it so that they could withstand the attacks of even the stronger students in the class was a good idea as well.

"Shields."

Nyke spoke simply and clearly once again to bring up the fact that some of the machines could defend as well. It wasn't like villains were always the attackers and heroes always the defenders. If they were going to root out a villain nest or take down a fortress, then learning how to break through a mighty defense was important. Things like gunfire and fists were easy enough but did the army have the power to deal with stronger quirks. What would that even look like? Nyke looked at the weapons again and then to Kyla.

"Protection too."

She pointe dup to Kyla's Core as an example. Nyke didn't know the ins and outs of Kyla's quirk or the core, but she knew it was technology based. Surely it needed protection from quirks that used technology. They could even split the machines into categories with Kyla's line of logic. Between offensive machines, defensive ones, and the utility ones with the lights, they could create a useful scenario for every class. But they also had to be careful not to overload a machine with too much of everything. They wanted them to be light, disposable, and easily rebuildable. At least, that was Nyke's goal. Loading a robot up with too many things would only hinder the process.

"Interchangeable parts..."

That was it. The best way they could get all of this and put it together. Making the robots with interchangeable parts would do everything they wanted so far. They could have different methods of movement or even be stationary. Some could have ranged attacks or melee attacks. Others could be outfitted with utility or weapons and they could reuse parts and frames on destroyed machines many times. It was a perfect solution provided they could a system like that going. It was something to discuss with the robotics club for sure.

Nyke thought for a moment about the annoying combinations that Kyla brought up. Nyke knew how easily she got annoyed with bothersome things. She had a habit of overreacting to them, like with the fly in the computer lab not too long ago. And while the whole event got her a member of the robotic's club, she also ended up destroying a keyboard. It was a problem that she never really experienced since she always had money and came from a rich household. So the idea of annoying robots concerned her. She didn't want to frustrate the machines too much. But at the same time, it would encourage them to be defeated. And if she built them to be easily repaired, them getting wrecked wasn't a real problem and, in fact, the intention.

"Okay."

She let Kyla go off to get another pamphlet so they had a point of reference after the military base closed back up. They had a whole lot of information and ideas to work with now. Even with just the few things they mentioned they could put together a great number of different machines to start with. Now came the hard parts of it all. While Nyke was confident they could get the resources and technical expertise they needed to make these machines a reality, she had to ask the person she least wanted to speak with. Bringing this subject up with her father was going to make it seem like she was going along with what he wanted. The man wanted Nyke to be the face of his business and the hero to promote the new line of products that were made for the hero market. She didn't want his brand on the things she made, but if she was going to use his capital, his workers, and his facilities, she didn't have much choice Until the time came that she could manage it herself Nyke had to rely on her father. And knowing his, he'd ask for bothersome things in return. The girl visibly shook a moment as she thought about it before turning her attention to Kyla. Walking over to where the girl was, Nyke saw that she was able to get the thing she wanted.

"Let's go."

It was quick and quiet, but the girls were done here. It was going to be the starting point of their foray into the world of robotics and who knew how it was going to turn out. Just outside the building's front was the tour group they had come to the armory with. They were finishing their loop and heading back to the vehicle to return to the front of the base. From there they could either exit or take another truck to a different portion of the base. With the opportunity in front of them, Nyke lightly tugged on Kyla's wrist to show that they ride was starting to load up. It was time to go, but this wasn't going to be the last that Nyke saw of the base.
