So as she smiled at her new sempai, Makoto went over various systems. She could multitask after all.

"Reason weapon systems are locked?" inquired Makoto.
Ranma tried not to jump when a voice spoke from midair. This was being monitored and recorded, he belatedly remembered.
"Your weapon systems were locked because you are the first unit we've been able to activate and we don't entirely understand the process of your construction or awakening," said the voice of one of the old men in the control room.

"Building three, level two, room 34-A," indicated Makoto.
"You'll be spending more time with Makoto," said Doctor Saiga. "Though first we want to:"
