You drop a small piece of food on the floor, and decide to kick it under the oven/couch/whatever because you can’t be bothered to pick it up. As you’re walking away, you hear a very quiet “Thank you!” from under it.
“No problem,” I say, the words passing out of my mouth on autopilot, before my brain engages and I freeze.
I turn, and look at the fridge. It seems to be the same fridge that was here when I moved in.
I mean, I’m also kind of embarrassed. I never do that, I know that’s how you get roaches, but my back hurts so bad that getting up and down is next to impossible, much less bending over. “Um, you holding up okay down there?” I ask.
There was silence.
“I know that we’re probably the only apartment in the building that doesn’t have a bug problem. That’s, well, that’s you, right?”
Again, silence. But I know I heard it.
“Listen, I can’t really bend over right now, but if you’re down there and hungry, like, there’s half a rotisserie chicken in there that’s about to go bad. I was going to throw it away, but if you could use it-”
The Remington -or more grimly nicknamed by pilots: “the marching tomb” - was first deployed as a rough prototype. Cobbled together from unused frames, leftover weapons and systems mounted around a defunct 3D printer, the Remington was never intended for serious use and deployment, however the effectiveness of being able to print systems on the go, even if they were likely to fail, wasn’t lost on those who used it and Locksteel was convinced to manufacture and release a more stable pattern.
Though it is now less of a death trap, the name stuck with down on their luck pilots with nothing left to lose and a desire to not go quietly, arming themselves with as much as their frame could carry and bringing as many hostiles down with them.

The most important part of the Remington is it’s ability to constantly be using limited systems, with a chance to not consume limited systems it can keep the pressure on with powerful systems. The second most important factor is it’s Directed Force Canon, a weapon that gains uses from spent limited systems and weapons to unleash devastating Area of Effect attacks.
The tools the Remington license comes with are nothing to scoff at, with multi-target disposable missile launchers, explosive drones and
the devastating Thumper canon, the Remington Excels at blanketing the battlefield, while it’s vast amount of countermeasures prevent it from even being scratched.
