Still too close. The door... Yes, he could close it. But then he wouldn't be able to hear Utahoshi get up, and if, for some reason, Utahoshi decided to go into the testing room that adjoined the control room, Ryusei wouldn't know. He couldn't risk it.
Even if he could— According to Utahoshi himself, Ryusei would only have a few minutes, anyway. There's nothing I can do, he thought, annoyed, as he went back into the control room and began work on the Fourze Switches. He had to, now; otherwise Utahoshi would wonder why Ryusei wasn't in fact working on anything. He pulled out No. 38.
Looked like a leg part, he thought a moment later, becoming engrossed despite himself. Meteor system couldn't use the arm or leg parts because Meteor didn't have the modules for it.... He'd noticed when starting his work on Switch development that despite Meteor's and Fourze's differences, the Elek and Fire Switches seemed compatible with Meteor system, which he'd confirmed when he'd tested it live. It had been a risk, but even if it hadn't worked, he'd only needed to buy time. He'd been thoroughly confident that it would, in any case; the similarities had been overwhelming. Not that he wanted to use Fourze's Switches. Fourze was Fourze, Meteor was Meteor. Meteor was the more combat-oriented; Fourze's utility Switches wouldn't be overly helpful to Ryusei even if he could use them.
Which was why he wanted to take a look at Meteor himself, he thought, becoming annoyed again. If there was a way to maximize Meteor's strength, he wanted to take it. He couldn't allow himself to stagnate. Encouraging (for a given value of 'encourage') Zodiarts to become Horoscopes was fine and good, but the non-Aries Horoscopes had to be defeated. After all, he couldn't allow any of the Club members to be killed or hurt.
