The players reached a consensus at the last moment, and this smart decision made Murphy very satisfied, fully proving that his little players could also be a bunch of brainy sages when necessary.
When he announced that the Power Armor would be gifted to the God Slayers, he deliberately didn't mention the energy issue, which was basically him digging a not-too-big, not-too-small pit for his players.
The built-in Energy Battery of this vanguard-grade Power Armor had been completely destroyed by that penetrating shot earlier; to repair it, they'd have to find a new military-grade energy module in the Sanghai Empire, and right now the only standard-type Energy Batteries that could charge it were in his hands.
In other words, if the players wanted to suit up in Power Armor and go full musou mode on the battlefield, they'd have to get Murphy's permission first.
