Intent: Reward for participants of the Gathering
Development Thread: [x]
Manufacturer: Chandrila DataTech
Model: N/A
Affiliation: | Alicia Drey | [member="Kyoko Ike"] | [member="Joon"] | [member="Lady Shambleau"] | [member="Camellia Swift"] | [member="Jen"] | [member="Marcus Itera"] | [member="Attrion Harnol"] | [member="Jaster of Clan Awaud"] | [member="Taeli Raaf"] |
Modularity: No
Production: Semi-Unique
Material: Armorweave, Diatium
Strengths:
Anti-Concussion: Explosions, given off by the likes of Concussion grenades, would stun, concuss and/or disorientate a victim, if not for this technology. The decibels levels given off by the blasts are essentially blocked by the technology, resulting in stuns, concussion or disorientation from sonic weaponry or blasts to be negated. Of course, if the target is caught in an explosion, they're probably toast.
Anti-EMP: Electromagnetic pulses do not affect this technology.
Weaknesses:
No Hearing: If this technology is activated, the user will not be able to hear anything for the duration of it's activation. Clever enemies could turn it's Anti-Concussion capabilities against the user, as losing one of your five senses (Hearing) is definitely a weakness.
Spy: Each of these devices has an inbuilt tracking and listening device installed by it's manufacturer.
Description: #3567-956-827 was the code name given to these devices. They have no actual name or disambiguation. Essentially, they are futuristic ear plugs, designed to protect the wearer from the effects of the body when the decibel level rises above standard levels. Think of a Sonic dampening helmet, with the advantage that nobody is aware of the users protection against Sonic weaponry or concussive damage left after the detonation of nearby explosives. This technology also has the added bonus of allowing the user to hear and subsequently respond to others, with the effect of the inability to hear or listen coming into effect when said decibel levels rise beyond critical levels.
It's Armourweave and Diatium materials were necessary for the creation of the device, with the Armourweave providing protection against EMP weaponry and/or explosions. The Diatium powers the device. A plastic coat was layered on top of the weave, making it more comfortable for the user to wear.
This technology was given to the attendees of the Gathering on Sojourn, hosted by Alicia Drey, as a thank you for their attendance. The tracking and listening hardware built into the devices were disguised as necessary components for it's anti-concussion/sonic weaponry. They remain docile and inactive until they receive a signal that activates them. This signal acts as a buffer between this technology and other forms, such as a comlink or datapad, allowing someone to follow the wearer or listen to their conversations. Attendees of the Gathering were not informed of this.
