Luckily for him, the training yard was near the testing range, separated by a wall.
As he got closer, he heard voices, and after getting a good view, he saw a figure in powered armor, standing a bit over 7"1. Scientists and a sergeant where standing around as well, equipment hooked up to the armor, wires and the like as a scientist bent over a computer was watching the screen give readouts.

[i]It soon occured to the 5'11" Adrien that he was a midget compared to most people. The armour looked familiar to those he wore, probably since most manufacturers typically had a few things that made all their armours looks similar in his knowledge. He decided to keep an eye on the person, as he wandered the yard. [/i]
-
For the most part the people in Rubicon where normal height for the most part, aside from the odd giant soldiers. The armor was sleek, plating seen, painted a dull yellow. The soldier shifted their arm up, the left one and then the right, calibrating it
-
[i]Powered armour, probably. Adrien had seen the likes of it in movies before, but never in person, not even in the streets of the cities on Tatakai. He studied and observed the armour closely, keeping a watchful eye on it as he analyzed all he could with his basic knowledge of science and things. [/i]

The armor most likely hid far more than what was seen on the exterior, as he saw four jets flair, two on the shins and two on the upper back. The soldier rotated their head then, taking a few steps around while the scientists watched.
-
[i]Adrien was amazed that one person could wear something like that without getting crushed to death. [/i]
-
He deduced that most likely it had internal supports, along with an exoskeleton most likely. The soldier turned their head to face him then, catching a glimpse and then skimming by. Although after a second they turned back, and a familiar voice was heard. "Adrian?"
-
[i]Sadly Adrien hadn't even considered an exo, not knowing what it was at all. Though the voice he did know, and he gave a brief wave to the person. "Hey." [/i]
-
"Thought you would never show up." Minx chuckled then, her face hidden under the helmet as she planted her hands on her hips.
-
[i]"Well I needed a job, and i couldn't pass up more time with the only normal person in town," Adrien said to her with a light laugh, as he crossed his arms and leaned back on his left leg. [/i]
-
"Didn't intend for first impressions to be this mess, hooked up to wires and shit while the eddheads run tests." She shrugged, a few of the scientists rolling their eyes.
-
[i]"Couldn't be worse than one I'd get at the Dojo, right?" [/i]
-
"True enough. So, how are you liking it all so far? Not the best but its still good."
-
[i]"Better than I thought if I'm being honest. Didn't think I liked it, but I'll get used to the military lifestyle soon enough." [/i]
-
"Its rough at first, but gets better. Training will suck, but you need to be able to shoot straight and carry a hundred plus pounds of gear."
-
[i]"Just like the Romans, but with guns. If a bunch of skirt wearing gladiators can do it, I probably can." [/i]
-
"Its not too hard, yeah." She chuckled then, proceeding to do a little twirl and modeling. "Whatya think?"
-
[i]"I think that armour would look great in a fashion show. Rubicon's twenty-eighteen spring lineup?" Adrien smugly asked, tilting his head as a small smile crept onto his face. [/i]
-
She grinned, striking a pose, hand above hand and her right arm on her hip, turned towards him. "Hell yeah recently designed and everything." She giggled then, standing normal once more.
-
[i]"So are you guys testing it, or is that your suit?" [/i]
-
"This one specifically is mine, first of a new breed of armor."
-
[i]"Nice, what'll it be used for?" [/i]
-
"Combat, it is power armor after all." She chuckled then.
-
[i]"Well yeah, but surely there's other things too right? You could do a forklift's job with that suit at half the cost and twice the speed." [/i]
-
"I could, yeah. There's a lot of things the armor can do, but its mostly meant for combat."
