That was a hilarious reaction from him.. of all things to think of a captured soldier.
I'm not sure I like the current Rygart, but it's definitely different from your normal hero's learning curve that involves coming to grips with the morals of battle and not just the techniques. So he believes he killed Lee last time, but not the guy who saved him.. I'm really not sure if this is just his dishonest lying again..
It does piss me off a bit that Rygart's getting his ass saved by autopilot though. Everybody else learns by falling down. Ah well, guess it's a perk that comes with the mech.. :S
The new enemy mechs better not lose their badassery once they strip their cloak. That'd be a shame. At least Sigyn doesn't.
