While on routine trip from Earth to a near by resource satellite, an odd figure approaches. The metal clad entity is obviously inorganic, due to a lack of an oxygen mask. Drawing his blades he rushes at Ota, only to meet the larger end of another sword. As the two struggled to gain an upper hand through brute force, Ota had been trying to study his adversary. From his movements, to his wicked grin each time the swords clashed, to his sleek metal body that didn't so much as get a scratch from getting hit. During another fateful cross of blades Ota asked the deranged being "who and what are you?"

The enemy laughed in response before talking "i'm nothing but a hired gun for Teravas. Shailin, a man that through everything away for power!" kicking Ota away he continued, "my body! my family! my soul! all of it, for this indestructible robotic shell! you are nothing compared to me, nothing!"

Ota had recovered from the blow and charged back, his weapon meeting only unyielding metal before yelling back. "is this some sort of game to you?!"

Shailin laughed again before responding. "this body makes it like one"
