-AIF Heavy Vehicle Factory-

Lumbering out of an AIF research factory is a vehicle straight out of Star Wars. It is called the MK-1 Assault Platform, and strides upon four armored legs. Today is it's first test outside the factory, and, with IMG officials watching, begins to lumber across the field destroying old tanks set up as targets. Everything goes well until the terrain tests begin, then all hell breaks loose. As it begins to ascend a hill, it's stability computers kick in as it starts to stumble on the slope. The computers work, and it continues up, but inside the command section an over pressure warning is beeping. Before the crew can identify the problem, a pipe in the left rear leg bursts, quickly rendering that leg inoperable. As the beta model computer detects a loss of pressure, it first shuts off that leg, stabilizes the vehicle, then proceeds to try and restore pressure. The computer's means of doing this is to pump all available hydraulic fluid to that leg, effectively bleeding the walker to death, and causing it to topple over. In the observation tower the military officials watch in shock as the walker slowly topples over, amazed at the spectacular failure of the new and complex machine. However they were impressed by what they saw before, and continue to support Colonel Veers' new project.

OOC: new tech, a few hiccups should be expected. This is actually my third model, with the others being too advanced for a prototype.
