One of their light walkers carried a weapon of lethal effect. It fired a form of ultra-high velocity projectile. I saw one our tanks after having been hit by it. There was a small hole punched in either flank — one the projectile's entry point, the other its exit. The tiny munition had passed through the vehicle with such speed that everything within the hull not welded down had been sucked out the exit hole, including the crew. We never identified their bodies, for all that remained of them was a red stain upon the ground, extending some twenty metres from the wreck.
