MiniPato

The officers of Special Vehicle Section 2 put their Labors aside long enough to explain the strange machinery and stranger bureaucracy behind Patlabor. One discussion examines the Ingram's weapons and why they were designed the way they were; another digs into the AV-98's construction, maintenance, and the commercial thinking surrounding it.

A final question turns from mechanics to money: how does SV2 actually afford any of this? Technical explanations, institutional absurdity, and self-aware jokes mix together as the unit dissects its own equipment and working life with far less dignity than a giant police robot might suggest.
