Investigation Report
Sirens could be heard throughout Washington D.C. as Police Cars ran through the capital of the United States. Traveling through the roads and highways, Lucas Klein was cursing to himself in his Patrol Car. "Damnit, I'm late!" As he streaked along, another Power Armor was running through the alleyways of the city, with a much similar reaction.
"All officers, shots are fired in the East Warehouse District. I repeat, shots fired."
Both officers cursed to themselves as they raced to reach the scene, their original destination. Of the two, Lucas arrived first. Stepping out quickly, his armor quickly activated as he saw several police cruisers aflame. Running over, he checked their bodies to see if there were any life signs. Shaking his head, his sensors alerted him to another Power Armor approaching. Pulling out his rifle, he relaxed as the data came in revealing it was Grant Krauser with the Bertigo. "What's the situation detective?" Krauser asks, looking around as he surveyed the scene.
"Total loss here, but they're fresh, we need to move in," Lucas says, looking over to the warehouse in front of them. In the distance, sirens could be heard approaching. "They won't make it in time, we need to move in quickly. We could find something out," Lucas advises.
"Right, let's go!" Grant says, as the two charge into the warehouse. Walking in, the Bertigo and HEXA both moved to cover. Checking their immediate surroundings, the two slowly advanced further in. Checking each room as they advanced, there was little evidence that they could find, though it was evident Power Armors were clearly here. "How could rogues get so far deep into our capital? This is the Capital of the United States for god's sake!" Lucas says, as Krauser moves past him, rifle drawn.
"I don't know, but- hey wait, there's still a terminal active here," Grant says, as the two move up to the active computer. "Cover me," Krauser orders, as Lucas nods and has his rifle drawn, keeping an eye out on his surroundings. As Grant started typing, several small audible gusts of wind could be heard. Something's here...
As the info started to load, an image came up with the logo of Tesla Industries showing up on the terminal. "What...but they're the lead designers of the current power armors..." Krauser mutters, as a lance of light streaked out and struck the screen, causing it to explode. HEXA quickly reacted and fired his rifle at the source, a floating bit. As it exploded, he quickly rewound to recognize the remote weapon. There was only one weapon he knew of with that design. Quickly turning, he pointed the rifle at the Bertigo. "You...why did you just destroy the computer!"
"What?! All my weapons are still here!" Grant yells out, as all his bits released quickly as proof.
"Wait, then...what the hell did I destroy?" Lucas asks, before a ring of explosions occurred above their heads, as the ceiling comes crashing down on their heads and burying the two.

"Think we got em?" "Doubt it...get the traps ready, more company will be here."
