[ Good thing she's interested, because Gaelio is ready with all the technical specifications she Arilanna could ever want. He keeps it simple though... mostly. ]
Ah. [ He nods in confirmation.] Most of the firepower comes from the lance- [ Gaelio points to an absurdly sized lance stored a little out of the way, which looks nearly as tall as the Gundam itself. ] It is equipped with special KEP bullets- the launchers are electromagnetic; [ That is, basically a railgun. ] -as well as a drill, and two two-hundred millimeter guns. I am better suited to close combat as a pilot, but there are other suits with longer ranged armaments. The openings you see at the top of the knees are pile bunkers. The other ports are gas vents. If the lance is inoperable or the opponent is too close, Kimaris also has a sword that mounts behind the left side armor. You can't really see it when it's put away.
[ As for how it's powered and how it flies, hoo boy. ] Gundams are unique among mobile suits - aside from their frames - in that they have two Ahab Reactors. [ Oh right, he had met the other woman who didn't know what that was, so best explain: ] Ahab Reactors utilize the transformation of artificially created vacuum elements. This creates a great amount of energy. They're virtually indestructible as well. The particle emissions from the reaction allows for gravity and inertia control, but there are also thermal phase transition thrusters as well.
[ Gaelio smiles, almost apologetic. ] I'm a pilot, not an engineer, so I can't tell you much more than that about the Ahab Reactors.
