MESS-S1aF-003 Underground Harbinger

Since its decommission, Harbinger was only armed with an Anti-Armor Knife. Its armor was practically all gone, with its legs, back, right arm, and part of the chest armor being all that remain. Its head armor was relatively intact, though it was missing its Assistive Targeting System. It still had the METACOM System that was built into all MESS-Type Garrisai.

Technology and Combat Characteristics
With many of its weapons and armor systems being lost to time, the Harbinger was only left with its right Anti-Armor knife. Thus, when Alex first piloted the Harbinger, he would use this knife to take down the approaching Mercury Legion Units. He would eventually find a 40mm ASU from a downed Garrisai and use it as well.

Armaments
- Anti-Armor Knife: Just like the Harbinger Units of the FGC, this unit has a pair of anti-armor knives stored inside the calves of the unit. However, only one of these knives remain, as the one in the left calf has gone missing. It is best used in close-quarters combat only.

Special Equipment and Features
The Harbinger's Thruster Kits and ATS were both broken over time, so Alexander was unable to use either of them until they were repaired by the LCR.

History
This was the second form of Harbinger. During the FGC, the Harbinger was presumably lost during a battle near the concluding events of the war. The pilot did escape, but the frame itself was never found. Years later, it was discovered by traders and brought to a market where it lost all of its parts and weapons. Being left with practically no combat capability, it was kept by a vendor to be used as a power generator for his shop. It wouldn’t be until Alex Baltimore accidentally activated the machine when Harbinger went back into service.
