IG62 Storm Warning Powered Armour

“Five minutes, begin final checks” the intercom buzzed as technicians began to frenziedly scurry around the drop hanger performing pressure tests and securing drop lines to the ½ ton suit that Owens was strapped into. A pressure hose hissed as the tech removed it from the suit of Owens second lieutenant Croft. The inside of his HUD glowing a soft luminescent green as it powered up, and Owens did a quick check of ammunition and ensuring his shield was fully charged.

The drop doors whined as they began to slowly open whipping cargo nets as the pressure in the bay began to drop. The door traffic lights switched to red, and with a hammering thud the crane holding Owens’s team aloft moved them all into drop position. As the light switched green the team were suddenly free falling. A collected 6 tons of heavy metal dropping from fifteen thousand feet, the virtual landscape showing on the internal of Owens HUD guiding them towards their target.

“30 Seconds” Owens ordered as they broke cloud cover, and the team began to adopt breach procedure as the city bellow began to grow. A contrail of smoke loosed from the arm of Croft as she launched an AP rocket into the roof of the fast approaching corporate tower. With an almighty explosion the team dropped though the hole then precisely 62 feet [four floors] of the tower before their anti-grav units engaged jerking them ungraciously to a halt. The muffled whine of Crofts .30 cal filled the air as the two security guards on the opposite side of the board-room door became a fine red mist. Owens scanned the board room and aimed one hulking hand out spraying death around the room ripping the thin plasterboard walls to pieces.

“Mission Accomplished” Owens reported, “I think we made our point”

Description

Though rarely seen outside the theatre of war, the Western federation IG62 ‘Storm warning’ powered armour is occasionally used by their agents when small teams are required but with the firepower of an armoured division. Standing at seven and a half feet tall and weighing just under half a ton, the IG62’s payload can be tailored for specific deployments.

The IG62 features the predator PDS plasma weapon for anti personnel use. Controlled by the suits A.I the predator is programmed to recognise members of the IG62’s unit and to attack everyone else that approaches a 3 meter radius of the armour (game mechanics wise the predator makes one free attack a round against an opponent designated by the suits pilot).
