• Force-Compatible Construction: The armor is designed to function alongside Force use without interference. Movement, perception, and control remain intact while the system is active.
• Gauntlet-Based Nanite Deployment: Armor deployment is centralized through the gauntlet, allowing the suit to assemble fully when activated rather than existing as constant bulk. This preserves mobility until commitment is required.
• Integrated Nanite Shielding: The nanite mass can form a solid forearm shield capable of absorbing or redirecting incoming fire and close-range strikes during critical moments.
• Commitment-Oriented Design: Once deployed, the armor remains active for the duration of the engagement. This removes reliance on reactive cycling and supports sustained confrontation.
• Counter-Field Integration: The system supports localized counter-field technology, allowing the wearer to operate within hostile environments where nullification effects are in play without surrendering mobility.

• Fixed Deployment State: Once the nanite armor is deployed, it remains active until the engagement concludes. The system is not designed for mid-fight retraction or redeployment.
• Gauntlet Dependency: Armor deployment, shielding, and counter-field functions are all routed through the gauntlet assembly. Significant damage to this component degrades or disables the system as a whole.
• Operational Focus Requirement: Counter-field devices require deliberate positioning and activation. Improper timing or rushed use can reduce effectiveness or temporarily render the system unusable.
• Limited Counter-Field Endurance: Integrated disruption devices have finite operational cycles and require maintenance or reset after extended use, limiting their effectiveness across prolonged engagements.
• Reduced Performance Under Saturation: The armor is built for sustained direct combat rather than prolonged exposure to heavy, continuous fire or layered area denial. Under such conditions, cohesion degrades over time, forcing reliance on movement and pressure rather than endurance.

Gerwald looked over the armor one last time. There was nothing left to change. The measurements were correct. The tolerances were set. It would function the way it was meant to. That was enough.

Srina was nearby. He did not look at her at first, but he was aware of her all the same. He always was. She had a way of occupying space without drawing attention to herself while doing it all at once all the same. Jasmine and Rain.

“It’s ready."

He watched her examine it and noted how little time she spent on appearance. Her attention went to how it would move, how it would sit, how it would hold. She had always approached things that way. Preparation mattered more to her than the aesthetic. It was beautiful to be sure, but the Empress was pragmatic.

The armor was built on systems he trusted. It would remain once deployed. That decision had been made early. He had seen what came of hesitation. It would require Srina to actively recall the armor.

He thought, briefly, of how often she had carried responsibility without complaining about the weight of it. She had nursed him back to health and asked for nothing in return. That thought stayed with him longer than the rest. It was why Gerwald still gave everything.

When she stepped closer, the system responded as designed. Gerwald observed it without reaction. He had expected nothing else. The work had been done carefully. There was no reason for any surprise.

When he turned to leave, his thoughts stayed with her rather than the armor. That was familiar. He did not question it. He had learned better than that.

Gerwald did not think about what the act said about him. She knew, even if the words had never been uttered. He thought about the fact that she would be better equipped to endure what came next. That consideration had guided his hand from the beginning, even though it was something he would never admit.
