Mech Pilot who has a console of unconnected switches just to have something to fiddle around with.
Neuralink tech has advanced to the point these days where the pilot doesn't even need to be touching anything in the mech to pilot it, just have to be inside it. Many bolt down couches or beds and install safety restraints, and one notorious pilot is reported to have a full suspension bondage rig. Kinky.
Our pilot is different. See, shi's a bit older than a lot of hir fellow pilots. Shi grew up piloting older mechs, hitting the arcades, training before Neuralink was practical, much less ubiquitous. Shi is a fan of Kistral-series mechs, considered in their heyday the pinnacle of perfection, and used by anyone who could afford them. Iconic look, iconic skill, iconic cockpit. So iconic, in fact, that shi has reconstructed it to scale inside of hir current mech. Are the controls even connected? No, but they could be. And shi'd still be the deadliest pilot in the galaxy.
What the other pilots don't realize, shi tells us, is immersion's not just about being linked through the mind, or sensory deprivation. Why does shi have the edge? Body. matches. mind. Shi's done hir homework. 94% of researchers say that physical as well as mental locomotion leads to higher syncronicity rates. Shi's living proof. Hir ability to match movements to controls gives hir the edge. It's made hir a legend in the stars. And shi's got the medals to prove it.
How famous is shi? You know exactly who we're talking about, and we haven't even said hir name.
Now, for a limited time, Shi's offering you the chance to touch the magic. Approved by the sunstar herself and the Milky Way Space Battle League, Sunset Mechanical is proud to bring you the Officially Licensed Ursula Ket Vernguin Cockpit Replica! We worked closely with the Ace of Hands, and shi left no switch unflipped, no button unpressed, no handle unslammed.
