After chastising the soldiers under her command, Zoe Doukas turns to face you again. "I'm sure people are wondering why I would give such an impassioned defense to a corp I would rather do without," she says. If there was one person that spoke out against adopting walkers the most, it would be her. So hearing her defend the presence of pilots like you in today's joint exercise came as a surprise to just about everyone. "Make no mistake," she continues, "I would rather have spent the funds on more valuable things. A single walker could've bought us five more self-propelled howitzers. Or enough shells to bury any invading army." She sighs, turning her head back around to stare at your walker with barely concealed annoyance. "But the money has been spent. The machines made and the soldiers trained. So let's see if you will be of any use."
