FMPA #06


p3
Shit!
Where the hell is Adelina hiding?!

We're using the same type of Savage though!

There she is!

You won't get away from me this time!
I'm going to put into practice everything I've learned so far!

*Don't worry! I'll pay you a visit at the hospital!


p4
Chapter 06: I don't care if you end up in hell!


p5
What the hell?!

California, moutain area in the depth of Sierra Nevada.
Haa
Haa

How heavy is this damn equipment?!
This shouldn't be allowed to make us carry that!


p6
Haa
Haa

When will I reach the top of this hill?!

Can't stand it anymore... I wanna rest... even for a minute...

Or I'll die... for sure...
Haa !
Haa !

Don't even dream of it!


p7
Stay on your legs, Tatsuya!
Just one more mile!

*Who the hell appointed this girl as a trainer?!
Cough


p8
DOMS training center, California.
Hey, Yukari*, how are you doing? It's been a while I've been in America now.
*Note: The official italian volumes from which this translation comes from report a mistake in the first volume about the name of Tatsuya's sister, who is now called Yukari instead of Yurika.

As you know, DOMS CEO personnaly recommended me after seeing me piloting an AS.
I hope that my wage allows our family and company to catch their breathe a little.

For me, everything is fine, the weather is great and there are stunning landscapes here in Sierra Nevada.
I'm still doing my best. You'll get a gift when I'll come back. See you very soon, Tatsuya.


p9
*Bullshit!
I can't move anymore...

You fools!

Do you understand that these three minutes could have killed you?
Don't ever forget that! You could've been shot seven times! Heard me? Seven times!

I'm sorry, sir!
To hell your apologies! I don't give a shit if you end up in hell!
Show me that you've got some balls, dammit!


p10
Look at you... You seem like a sardine ready to get grilled.

The antiterrorism training of Sri Lanka's soldiers.
Does it interest you?
Next!
Absolutely not...

Got it.

First, you have to improve your physical strength.
Some recruits don't need it, but that's not your case.
Hey guys?
Hahahaha! [prolly already in English in the raws, but well]


p11
Tell me one thing...
Am I wrong or was I hired to pilot an AS?
Haa
Haa
Why do I need to run so much?

Listen well!
Physical strength is essential for a soldier...
and AS pilots are no exception!

Got it?
Keep moving or your muscles will be cold!
Yeah, yeah!

Lina! I see that you're not sensitive to cold...
Look at those legs!


p12
This is the official uniform of trainers, according the CEO!

She personally put me in charge of training this subject, and given my recent bad results...
I couldn't refuse!
I think that she made fun of you...

I won't accept any witticism about our boss!
At 7:30 sharp, piloting exercise. You'd better be on time!

Yes, ma'am...


p13
We're not training with the Shadow?
The CEO will answer your question tomorrow.

Oh? Mao is coming back tomorrow?


p14
Moreoever, all third generation AS are in maintenance today.
So we'll be using those.

I guess that even you know them!
They're Savage.
They even appeared in some movies.

Yes, I've seen them on TV! They're really huge!

Let me explain!
Those are customised models from the first Savage, RK-91M.
It's a unit deployed all over the world and used in many wars.

The RK-92 is basically a RK-91 with a gas turbine engine and is exported not only in communist countries but...
And there she goes again...


p15
In two words, Arm Slave act like an extension of the overtrain body of the pilot!
Is that clear enough, Tatsuya?!

Not really... Why is it so long?

Argh!

I won't accept insubordination!
Hurry up and get in this savage!
That damn bi...


p16
[nada]


p17
Phew...


p18
This movement was perfect!

It seems like you're in full harmony with your AS.
You've done well today.

Well...
it was nothing...

*Unlike the Shadow, this AS has a lot of commands and buttons...
*But somehow, it's closer to the Daidara.
*I like this Savage.


p19
If I'm not mistaking, it's time for our combat simulation.
I can't wait!

Oh...
You don't lack of confidence...

Up to now, you kept making fun of me...
But today, I feel like I can win!


p20
I'm ready.
Let us head to our start point for the simulation.

Come on, Savage, I feel like we'll get along, you and me!
And today, I'll make her pay for everything she did to me with interests!

I'm ready! Let's start whenever you want!


p21
You Taichi's Arm Slave Commentary:01
Savage
This is the unit that appears the most in Full Metal Panic! The RK-91M in this chapter is a customised imported model. For its design, I've taken inspiration of the RK-92. There are subtles differences, but I'd like you to take note of these little features, especially around the face. I apologise in advance for all the freedom I took to give a specific identity to my Savage.
