LASERS - NEXT BIG THING?: Top defense researchers remarked during demonstration of a prototype today: "We are still working on it, the laser weapon lacks power, but has a technically almost unlimited range," Colonel Sylver, a spokesperson for the military said. Laser weapons have been used for years in large-scale platforms, especially as anti-ordnance weapons; this marks the first field use of human-sized energy weapons. "There's no real advantage over conventional weaponry at this point," said analyst Mark Coza in an interview. "I think they're rolling them out mainly to intimidate China, and in the hopes that field testing leads to further improvements."

MEET THE SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE. [Photograph: Colonel Andrea Sylver poses in her powered combat exoskeleton.] The new wave of military exoskeleton, or 'power armor', has been unveiled to the public after extensive testing on battlefields in Afghanistan and in police actions in South America and Indonesia. "These suits are like being a real-life super hero," Colonel Sylver announced to a gathered press. "I'm immune to all but the heaviest weapons, but just as mobile and light as any infantry soldier. With an attached hauling rig, I can carry as much as a civilian cargo exoskeleton. I'm basically a bulletproof forklift in a human-sized package." We attempted to inquire about rumors of bionic-enhanced supersoldiers deploying alongside the new power armor, but Colonel Sylver declined to answer those questions.
