So far the FOILs have gotten a lot of love in this gallery (and more are pending) at the expense of showing more of the sendai, the FOILs much, much smaller kin. Sendai will appear more and more in future postings as their population numbers are rather large in the SOL system.

As the war escalates to alarming proportions on Polemos stability begins to erode on Indus as well. The sendai population, now gaining a spiritual inclination their human owners have abandoned long ago, begin to mobilize politically, and socially for more freedoms. In doing so many turn to violent means as one such revolutionary minded S.A.D.U.S. (Self Aware Defense Utility System) takes the path of blood.

This one is a Jiendel manufactured SADUS with likely multiple brains that may not always agree on who's in charge. Clearly this can lead to problems. The small bio-mechanical fella (this one aprox 5 feet in height) is wielding a Geind Machine Stein Shettier (Stein being rifle variant Shette weapons).

The scene is on Indus, hence Theos ke Basilea as the Indus storyline dovetails into conclusion of the entire arc.

Slight edit: suggested adding some additional highlights from the muzzle flash, something I had planned to do. Sneaky Photoshop buggered my Spyder color profile with a crash so I had to fix it. I did want to do that highlight addition so I tweaked the colors back to the punchier orange the file was supposed to have and booya, we have edit with muzzle flash highlight! I can see doing a few more tweaks but later it shall be. Damn crash has me wanting to give it a rest O_o Nothing major, just a typical Photoshop freeze.
