Well, if Crystallis isn't objecting, there is certainly nothing stopping the soft shell from clambering up to give it a try! Sore arms be damned, nothing is stopping him from trying to pilot an actual mech!!

...but of course they can't be happy around here it seems. All chipper one second and deflating the next. "Oh come on!" he huffs. Not that he's going to let a dying engine stop him, much less one in a mech!

"Guess we're not meant to have nice things here," he grumbles as he looks around for a panel he can open or something.
