CODENAME: TOAD
0101001011949191 – –3-9 .feberb.,ever expected them to go nuclear, but here we are. We need a VNM that can operate in the most extreme conditions, and Toad should do well. Field tests should confirm, but recent advances in crystalline ablative formations have us projecting that Toad should be able to withstand a direct strike from orbit, not to speak of anything a VNM ground soldier could carry.
Recent reports have given me the feeling we’re done messing around. We need something that can walk right into the heart of the warzone and just smash XDC’s Board of Directors into pancake, taking everything they can throw at it on the way in. No time to field test, we’re gonna have to deploy as soon as our test subject is ready for the final integration.
Tech boys are reporting a possible flaw, minute, but significant. No time to worry about it now, we’ll have time to QC it when Toad gets back home.
