#bt-7274

Just like people, a machine that needs to learn about its surroundings is going to learn about the people surrounding it. And you really only see two titans during cut scenes in game, but those two titans are BT and MOB, and we all know and love BT but if you pay attention to MOB during the cutscene where BT grabs Cooper like a hot dog and shoves him into his cockpit like a dog chewing on something its not supposed to, MOB is in the background just kind of. Doing his own thing. Looking around. Scanning the perimeter.

I think part of the reason Briggs folded (subjectively) so easily is because she knew. She Fucking Knew.

Yeah, she could force BT to swap to a different pilot. An actual pilot. But fuck, man, if there wasn't going to be a titans version of sulking and bitching. Would he put his pilot at risk? No, that goes against protocol 3, but he wasn't going to be happy. He wasn't going to make it easy on his new pilot. Titans have their own ways of being petty and if she and MOB have been partners for any length of time beyond one mission, Briggs probably knows that first hand.

Not only are they low on pilots, but they're low enough they have to take a machine's words into consideration because if they don't, he's not going to be cooperative. He's not going to be helpful or useful in the next mission. And she knows this.
