OOC: See the link in my signature, third post "Secret Projects" to see what the suit looks like :)

IC:

Weapons testing laboratory, 50 miles outside of Kyzyl City, Planet Kyzyl.
"Ok Peter, powering up the suit now..."
The Bodysuit stood a little over seven feet tall, and weighed around 2 tonnes.
From the glass square some 2 inches thick the face of Peter Oakes looked out, he had been the test pilot for suit 10 for over a month, and had found it to be rather enjoyable.
"Ok Suit on, try moving around a bit Peter."
"Roger that."
The Suit hissed as Peter took a step forward, the controls were still a bit sticky due to how new the system was.
"Ok Peter take a few circuits around the area and see how quick you can get."
Peter tried to move his legs a bit faster, however the bodysuit didn't seem to want to go much quicker than just over walking pace.
"Blast, only three Miles per hour..."
"Yeah, and it's kinda hard on the legs too."
"Ok, you can stop jogging around now, go pick up the machine gun from the Table will you?"
Peter moved over towards the table that held the Machine gun, his arms hissed as he picked it up.
"Ok now I'll be ovseeing the Targetting software, ok try your best Peter."

Peter saw the aiming reticule appear on the glass infront of him, he shook the Machine gun around abit and watched it dance across the screen, he smiled and fired at the target, altered his aim and fired again.
"Ok Peter, you can stop now.."
The sound of the machine gun continued.
"I can't, i've got a computer error on the visor, I can't move at all, and there's still two hundred rounds left in the drum!"
The Gun continued clattering, before it burst and melted.
"God dammit, try to reboot it and get him out of there....this software bug is pissing me off, big time..."
The Bodysuit stood frozen, gun arm still drawn, it crackled slightly as several technicians ran towards it.
