General Alkari was rather excited to be in the Longma, back home the armies vehicles were often poorly maintained and just reconditioned utility vehicles, often with whatever weaponary could be acquired strapped to them. Improvisation was a key part of the Waddan military, any new equipment they had soon became bogged down with issues of maintainence and spare parts and that in turn lead to the mechanics taking parts from one machine to put in another until the numbers just dwindled. Alkari was determined that would change. Then Chang offered the chance to drive a tank. "I believe that I may then become the first Waddanite to drive a tank." he chuckled half with excitement and half with genuine enjoyment of the thought. He was also intrigued by the dinner and a chance to speak with others of a more modern military. "All I need Lord is a chance to review the tanks and perhaps some discussion if possible about arrangements for their operation." The green countryside was a radical change from the dusty lands he was used to back home and he enjoyed the ride, the lumps and bumps being just what he was accustomed to. He was impressed by the training going on and couldn't wait to get to see the tank.
Pulling up alongside it he began to walk a lap of the metal beast. "If possible Lord Chang I'd like to perhaps have a ride in one, perhaps I could sit instead of the gunner, after all we are not going into combat." He chuckled again and was already keen to get inside.
