Excerpt from a damaged logg server found in the area.
Estimated time; 2214 – Valencia – Tau Betaris 530 Sector.
The screen powered up and he could hear the low buzz that it emanated. The screen soon filled up with information about drivers and subroutines for the startup of the vessel.

Marc was impatient so he lit a cigarette and opened the top window above him. Cold air filled the cockpit immediately. He pulled the neck on his leatherjacket tighter against his neck and regretted that he´d picked up on his smoking habit since the war started.

The startup sequence usually took about thirty seconds but in this cold climate it completed slightly faster. Betty declared the vessel ready for maneuvering and the same fact was flashing green on the navigation screen. Marc released the gravbrakes and the tank lifted itself to the designated height above the ground. In this snowy landscape it was about half a metre atleast or else he would act as a snowplow instead of a combat vehicle.
