Description

The Studium's engineers are currently developing a machine capable of operating in freezing temperatures, and have requested the procurement of a certain warmachina to aid in their project─Minerva.
Don't be fooled by the familiar name─this is a cold and unfeeling magitek avenger prototype that we are discussing. From what I understand, the machine was affectionately named after its creator's daughter.
Which gives rise to the question─what kind of parent gives a magitek weapon modeled after the sasquatch the same name as their daughter!? Perhaps there is some manner of Garlean tradition here to which I am not privy...but I daresay dismantling the thing would be doing the poor child a favor.

Lore

Parts harvested from the warmachina Minerva would be of great help in Studium engineers' mission to develop a machine capable of operating in freezing temperatures. Those tasked with the acquisition would do well to note, however, that although th emachine was affectionately named after its creator's daughter, it is in fact an advanced model of magitek avenger, and thus significantly more murderous than the average lass.
