Fort Hanley, Secure Testing Facility
The day has arrived.
The air inside the secure testing hangar was charged with anticipation. Engineers, military officers, and defense analysts stood around the large open space, some holding tablets loaded with performance metrics, others simply observing with cold, calculating eyes.
At the center of it all stood Titan Mk-I, now fully assembled and powered up. The exoskeleton loomed over its creators like a machine forged for modern warfare—sleek graphene-reinforced titanium plating, segmented armor plates that allowed for flexibility, and servo-assisted limbs that promised unparalleled speed and power.
Matthew stood at the forefront, dressed in the pilot suit designed to sync with the exoskeleton's neuromuscular interface. Beside him, Angel, Dr. Vasquez, Dr. Watanabe, and Daniel Cho monitored the final pre-test diagnostics on their portable terminals.
