The mech turned its head and looked around the room. The eyes started glowing a bright green and a female-sounding-voice spoke out. The language was unrecognizable and simply sounded like jumbled up words. Then, the eyes glowed yellow and flashed on and off.
A few seconds went by before Arche got the nerve to speak up, "What do you think it's doing right now?"
LANGUAGE DETECTED. Translation status: English, its grand voice suddenly bellowed out.
Arche stood there speechless as the behemoth made a whirring sound and a beam of white light projected from its eyes, cascading upon each individual in the room, one by one.
"I don't like this..." Phi timidly said, but tried to stay calm.
"That makes two of us!" Arche responded, the mech's eyes continuing to scan everyone.
Incompatible subject - Error The mechanical voice called out as it scanned Zeta. It continued to scan more people, Incompatible subject -Error, Incompatible subject - Error It echoed over and over again like a broken record. That is, until it scanned Phi.
The mech made a strange deep groaning noise, almost sounding like a rumbling hungry stomach, finally followed by a click.
COMPATIBLE SUBJECT DETECTED - 3026, it cried out, finally facing Arche for last.
"I'm... compatible? For what?" Phi said with a trailing voice.

COMPATIBLE SUBJECT DETECTED - 6870
"Wha..." Was all Arche could manage to muster at the awe of this machine.
The eyes turned back to a bright green, which seemed to be the default color.
"Why are Arche and I the only ones compatible...? It... couldn't be...." Phi audibly speculated amongst herself.
ONLY ONE USER PER UNIT MAY COMANDEER THE GST. THAT USER'S DATA WILL BE CONFIGURED INTO THE GST, MAKING IT INOPERABLE TO ANY OTHER COMPATIBLE SUBJECT, it proclaimed very loudly.
