ResearchDirector : Instead opt to make a military grade mech

ResearchDirector: The policy for unaccompanied visitors is: Get the hell out of my department, return any all stolen materials, and let my scientists do their jobs.
ResearchDirector: I do not care about your feuds with our security department or your economic grievances.
ResearchDirector: I'm certain they are tremendously motivating.
ResearchDirector: And I await debating your manifestos with all the respect they're due.
ResearchDirector: But get out of R&D.

This is not a military-grade mecha. You're not cleared for many of the materials, and if you'd built one, HeadOfSecurity would have taken it. Furthermore: The military wishes it had what you have. Your reinforced power loader will be enough, considering your expertise in maneuvering it.

ResearchDirector: Show these redsuited luddites the true power of a dedicated mind
