876 Nearly Finished

Nico moved the test weapon over to the stand for the Arisen War Walker armour and began the attack sequence. The armour plating held up much better this time, and only a few cracks were created by the actual attack, but again, when the spray rapidly changed the temperature, the cracks expanded. 

The plating held so it would take a much heavier blow to destroy that plate that they had made, but it was still significant damage, and enough that it would give them a noticeable advantage in close combat versus the previous editions of melee armaments. 

Nico struck again, and this time the blade caused the plating to fracture. The plate had become temporarily brittle in the hyper-chilled area, and the blade easily cut through the remaining plate. 

The blade came to a halt less than five centimetres from the initial strike zone with a screech of alloy on alloy, marking the extent of the brittleness.
