Rift military base July 18th, 2127
The M87 Berming rolled up the ramp slowly, the clear window to another place awaited it. The Berming touch the portal, power usage spiked. Unshakable pain shot through him, but he had to push on, and so he did. Once the tank was almost bisected by the portal the pain grew to unimaginable heights.
10 minutes before…
Noaw was prepping himself for the crossing, a specialist team was still fueling his tanks with gases for the Mk. III Ver. 2 Fusion engine located at the back of the tank. He mentally sighed and began to go over his loadout. He had 25 solid shout rounds made up of APFSDS rounds. On the Plasma side there were 15 HVCSG and 10 LVCSG. He had also recently got 4 200mm HVHES missiles attached to the sides of the turret, two per side. This addon lowered his top speed from about 60mph to 55mph. His one side was a 20mm coil gun with a 50-round belt.

He sent a notification to command that he was ready for crossing. Booting the fusion engine up he drove up to the crossing ramp. He sent command the code to tell he was ready. In return command gave him the go and wished him luck. He drove up and crossed, pain threating to overload his processors. Finally, the pain subsided and normal function resumed. His body lay still on a grassy hill surrounded by trees.
