-AIF Weapons research facility-

Several AIF military officials have been called to a demonstration of a new weapon, an ion carbine. A miniaturized version of the ion cannons already in use, the MK-I Ion Carbine is intended to fry enemy electronic systems and weapons.

Weapons developer: "Gentlemen, welcome to the Roberts Proving Grounds. What we have here is a new type of weapon, designed to disable mechanical enemy units. It has a seven shot replaceable power supply, and can discharge all power in a single large shot. Allow me to demonstrate. Send them in!"

A group of Sentinel 1s walk in, and line up along a wall.

Developer: "Unit MF-127658, simulate attack against me."

One of the Sentinel 1s starts to lumber towards the developer, who promptly fires. A bright blue bolt lances out, arcing over the robot and causing it to collapse.

Developer: "All units, begin simulated attack."

All of the Sentinels then advance towards the developer, who guns them all down.

Developer: "These weapons are also effective against powered armor, and can even down a German Panzerhund at full power. Any questions or comments?"

One of the officials, General James Phillips of the IMG, speaks up.

General Phillips: "Job well done lad. Just one question, can disabled units be repaired?"

Developer: "Yes they can, General. Only minor repairs are needed. Mainly the sensitive circuitry needs repair, though servo motors can be damaged depending on power setting...."

The demonstration continued, and the weapon is approved for production....
