The Proof Is in the Pudding is a short story written by Adam Sherwood. It was first published through the now defunct initial homepage that WizKids maintained in support of their MechWarrior: Dark Age game line.

Plot summary[edit]

At the Irian Academy of Combative Science, cadet Bruce Theron, awaiting his first live-fire training engagement, is sent to travel over a series of waypoints in his Marauder IIC. In the middle of his task, an intruding 'Mech is detected, and Bruce is sent to delay the attacker while help arrives. He finds himself facing an Atlas. In a desperate move as the fight turns against him, Bruce leaps in with a jumping kick to the enemy's shoulder, knocking the 'Mech down and, in the tumble after, himself out.

When he wakes up, Bruce learns the truth: this was the test. It was his instructor, Stan Severo, in the Atlas, and with his desperate kick, Bruce passed - the first cadet ever to take Stan down.
