As the enemy machine finally succumbed to the combined assault and gave up the ghost, Gideon felt his body tense as he immediately flipped his senses to the various sensors of the Mavors. The black Armored Core turned a quick three-sixty as it held the KARASAWA leveled up into firing position still, the red cameras focusing on the devastation all around the two remaining machines. Threat assessment of the area was a priority; since a lot of enemies he was familiar with from back on Mars liked to spring ambushes while a person was basking in the glow of victory.
Thankfully, the paranoid physical-and-sensor search came up negative, and the Mavors lowered the rifle as it completed the rotation to properly face the ARGYROS. The red glow to the cameras and face section dimmed as Gideon lowered the systems to a less energy-intensive mode.
"..Phwoo," Liam would likely hear over the comm line as Gideon exhaled deeply and took a moment to close his eyes in an effort to overcome the vertigo in his skull. "Well, that was certainly a hell of a wake-up workout.." He slowly approached the other machine in a gesture of camaraderie and extended the left hand for either a friendly bump or a handshake, depending on how the other pilot felt. "Good work out here. The timing was wonderful."
