The time has finally come fro Tasha to pilot her great machine, the TL2 Magi Class Titan 'Melchior.' In order to test her ability, Gabriel puts her through the ropes, first seeing if she can enter and connect to the machine without help. She does so, seeing her armor means more to the connection than she expected, as well feeling awe at the sensation of full immersion. Her nervous system fully in control of the machine now, Tasha takes control and performs a series of maneuvers through the arrayed supplies, dodging both the animate and inanimate objects once Gabriel decides to up the challenge. As she finishes her maneuvers, the woman brings her machine to stare out over the hellish landscape of Sheol. After a brief conversation, it's time for her to fly.

Flight proves to be an immensely terrifying experience at first, as differences in the machine and user's bodily configurations prompt Tasha to forget to extend Melchior's tail fan, causing the machine to nearly slam in to a crevase! Melchior's AI pulls through for the both of them, sensing Tasha's fear and the flight problem, and correcting. Soon she is soaring through the air, making a pass over the entire carrier before returning via lift. Gabriel meets her at the bottom, entering in time to see the great machine's pilot fall on her face, smelling of liquid fear! Great machine or no, she proves to still be a young and awkward mortal woman, after all.
