Not An Attack

The Amaranto Mark III and the Lamia Kailamassu warmed up. They flew in space and flared their Saint Kingdoms in an effort to get used to each other.

Ace pilots usually did not like to fight too close to each other. Their Saint Kingdoms worked best if they could completely claim dominion over the space around their ace mechs.

When two or more ace mechs fought in close proximity to each other, their Saint Kingdoms interfered with each other's operations.

One's version of reality often collided with another's version of reality.

There were ways to mitigate this conflict. If the ace pilots became more familiar with each other, they were able to tolerate each other's presence to a greater degree.

They could also make agreements with each other to cede ground at certain times in order to allow the ace pilot who could make the greatest difference give full play to his abilities.
