<p>
Our recent letter from F.A.K.E. refuting B.I.G.F.O.O.T.’s claim of a super-sized BattleMech sighting seems to have been a bit premature. Dr. Ivan Kjellsdottir’s analysis appears to be entirely correct. The last batch of messages received brought us this little nugget:
<p>
Dear Tech Watch,
<p>
I’m writing to say that I, too, have seen B.I.G.F.O.O.T.’s BattleMech, and it’s everything that he made it out to be. I work for a local news agency in my part if the Inner Sphere, and since war is always popular (though not good) news, we went out to get some footage of the aftermath of a recent skirmish. This time it was an abandoned spaceport that had served as the backdrop for man’s inhumanity to man, if you will, and the fog and wreckage of war were still fresh on the field. We were just packing up and getting ready to head out of the deserted bunker we’d been using when the ground started shaking. We all figured that that couldn’t be; all the forces had already pulled out.
<p>
Well, we were wrong.
<p>
I poked my head out of the bunker to see an <i>Atlas</i> stalking by with a Scimitar accompaniment. That wasn’t all that was with it; I swung the camera around and saw the biggest @&*#$^* BattleMech I’d ever laid eyes on strolling down the tarmac like it was taking a walk in the park. I pulled back to get a better shot and got a view of it pushing the wreckage of a Zibler strike tank out of the way like it was kicking a tin can. You can see very clearly that this is a tripedal design, slow as molasses on Acamar, and definitely larger than any assault class ’Mech. It’s sure as hell bigger than anything I’ve ever seen, and I’ve filmed a lot in my time. We got a little more footage before its <i>Atlas</i> buddy called us out and it started to turn around. I ran back to the Shandra where the rest of the crew was already waiting, and we beat feet out of there. I know it looks bad from the way things get cut off, but we managed to get out okay. And, in retrospect, I’ve gotta wonder if what happened out there was a skirmish so much as it was a slaughter. Things looked pretty one-sided, and the leftovers seemed to all share one color scheme.
<p>
Anyway, here’s the footage. Sorry there’s no sound. I don’t know what this thing is called, and I don’t know where it comes from (hell, I can’t even tell if it’s the same one that B.I.G.F.O.O.T. saw), but if there’s more than one out there I think a lot of people need to start being really, really scared.

Thanks to C.O.N.F.I.R.M.E.D. we have some pretty exclusive footage of the beast, and even a little of it in action. We did more in-depth research this time, and it hung together; this is the real deal. And since it is the real deal, it means that war just got a lot more dangerous. We’re trying to figure out if this is the same BattleMech B.I.G.F.O.O.T. saw, since we’re wondering just how many of these might be out there, and we’ll keep our readers informed. In the meantime, we’re tossing it back to you again; have you got any news of this colossal BattleMech? Let us know! Until then, we’ll be keeping an ear to the ground and our eyes toward the horizon.
