It was nine o'clock in the evening on September 19th, 2023. Richard and Graves, after completing their tests, returned to the command center. The busy hum of the center quieted down as they entered. The military staff, busy with their screens and papers moments before, stopped their work to salute Richard.
Accustomed to this routine, Richard nodded in acknowledgment as he passed by. He glanced around the room, taking in the focused faces and the screens displaying various data. Graves followed closely.
"So how is the test?" Mark asked they neared him.
"Well, I must say, the suit is really powerful and combat-ready," Richard said. "It can do a lot of things that would certainly turn the tides."
"Really? What kind of test did you perform?" Sara asked as she approached the two curiously.
"I fired a pistol, an M4 Carbine at full auto, a 50 cal Barrett, and a rocket-propelled grenade at him," Graves revealed.
