A recorded video comes on screen. In the foreground, a middle-aged man in protective gear is smiling at you, holding onto a datapad. In the background, you see a Tropical theme, with a beach and large saltwater lake. On the beach, is a massive gun, as large as most orbital defense cannons. In front of it, about five hundred meters across the lake, a large plate of hull paneling is settled, and it looks as if it was from a Battleship.

The man clears his throat, and begins to speak.

"Hello my friends, fellow scientists, researchers, and engineers! Hello to all of the Admirals and Commanders, or Officers who may have received this transmission. I am a man who is quite keen on developing outdated ideas, or perhaps inventing my own things. I have devoted large amounts of wealth and time into my creations, such as the one you see now, behind me."

He nodded towards the massive gun behind him, continuing.

"That there is a working prototype. Based off of the believed inefficient weaponry design of the Railgun, I have developed something that will fight against such a claim. This weapon specifically is designed to fire twelve-hundred pound rails made of a undisclosed metal alloy that is both dense and strong. The rails are charged with a massive electromagnetic generator, and then are shot out with enough velocity to exceed the speed of sound ten times. The rail is then capable of being fired nearly one hundred and fifty miles on an atmosphere similar to that of Manhattans without losing elevation or speed. After that, it begins to fall to the ground, and come to a halt. In space, it will continue until something gets in its way."

He moves to the side to give the camera a better view of the weapon, scrolling through the datapad slowly.

"But don't take my word for it, let me show you how she works. This weapon is aimed at hull plating, similar to that of a heavily armored Battleship. Capable of withstanding your ordinary ordinance of Antimatter from a Supernova Cannon, it is extremely tough. But now watch what happens here."

The surrounding air gains a loud buzzing sound, and then a high pitched 'whir'. Electrical arcs jump across the gun and become more frequent. Yelling now, he continues to talk.

"That sound you hear, and the sights you see, that is the weapon at full charge! Now watch carefully as to what happens!"

A wooshing sound, which gradually becomes much louder, fills the air. Moments later, a huge blast brightens the area, and what looks like a bolt of lightning, and a white mass, presumably the rail, flies across the lake. The water is blown aside as the rail impacts the hull plating, and in the blink of an eye, a hole fourteen feet in diameter was ripped into the hull paneling. The area soon quiets down. The generator had shut down to cool off, and all was silent. The image was staticy for a moment before it was able to restore itself. The man steps back into view, smiling broadly to himself.

"As you can see, it is highly effective against unshielded objects, and it'll tear through them like it's paper. But alas, it is ineffective against shielding. It may cause some drain on your targets shielding array due to the impact and electrical charge, but it won't be significant."

The gun releases a bit of smoke and steam, and then the generators kick on once more.

"For such a devastating weapon, it takes time for it to be fired again. Trying to fire it when it isn't properly re-armed would be catastrophic. But enough of that, all of the specifics can be explained soon enough."

"Any questions? How about an offer to get your hands on this piece of weaponry? I won't favor any group, and just because they were able to get it and you weren't, it doesn't mean that I support them."

He smirks a bit, and then bows, the video ending.
