"Leiutenant Moonfang, because your comrades already issued you an MS that is ideal for your role as a rapid assault specialist, your upgraded MS only has a couple of changes, based on SMC reccommendations.", Grosvenor explained as Arcturus stepped up to take a closer look at the hologram depicting his MS unit.

"In keeping with standard Silver Moon Clan helmet design, the head of your MS has an wolf mask for a face, though the ears that would traditionally go with it have been ommitted in favor of the base model's normal monocular crest and V-fin comms array. The head-mounted vulcans, clavicle-mounted machine guns, chest-mounted search eye, the larger integrated leg thrusters, and the Valkyrie's back-mounted 4-wing thruster array are also carried over. The magnetic actuator coating developed by the SMC is also present.", the engineer said, pointing out what they'd kept. Arcturus nodded, noting these himself.

"The wings themselves have had the outer sides heavily reinforced, giving them the ability to work as a shield. The only major change to your armaments is the heavily modified forearms, which no longer accmodate modular hardpoints. Instead, they now incorporate two integrated weapons involving the altered forearm armor, which shifts downward to form a three-fingered gauntlet when either one is activated. The first of these are your MS' hands, which incorporate thermal weapon technology, so they can heat up and essentially crush and tear enemy MS apart by softening the metal. The new hand protection also serves to focus the heat back to the inside of the hands, making them more effective. The other weapon is a pair of forearm mounted Dust-infused Heat Blades. Though they function as standard Heat weapons, the multi-action Dust chamber built into the forearms permits the use of elemental attacks. We have pre-loaded the MADCs with Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Ice Dust. Unfortunately, the nature of the mechanism prevents reloading in the field.". Grosvenor continued. Arcturus smirked as he looked over to where his new MS had been berthed. It retained the basic SMC color scheme, with a silver base and his personal brown trim, on the limbs and head, and the standard UEG olive drab on the torso. The shoulder guards retained his SMC heraldry and designation, SABR-1, on the right, and the UEG symbol and his Sigma designation on the left.
