The Experiment

[SilverDragon]

Silver opened one blue eye and tilted his head up to look at Mary then opened the other eye and turned his head to look directly at her.

Silver: Oh, theres no offence taken i assure you, you set in motion the events needed for me and my kin to escape and you have our thanks for that. I dont have any form of payment to give you other than letting your superiors have a look at us if they would wish it.

Silver got to his feet aided by Nova and he thanked her for her support and continued leaning on her to keep his balance. At that moment Storm came up to the bridge.

Storm: Sir, we managed to get two of the assault armors out of the facility in there various components, they just dont have any weapons systems yet. A couple of the mechanics have put them together and we think you should be the first to try one.

Silver: Mmm, i think i will... Mary, you and yours are welcome to have a look too.

Silver, Nova and Storm proceded down to the cargo bay, at the far side two pitch black and yellow tiger striped armored units stood, the chest and legs were open, awaiting an ocupant they could close over. Silver was helped over to the nearest one that was taller than him by half his height. Its claws gleamed silver in the light, its wings were replaced by jumpjet style wings that were fully articulated. He got into the armor and punched in the startup sequence and the eyes flashed a deep blood red as a soft hum indicated the reactor was online, then the armor began to close over Silver. Sealed tight inside the unit Silver effectivly became the armor, his arms, legs and tail inside the units own moved just as freely as his own would, he moved around a little, noteing how light its movements were compaired to its size and weight.

Silver: Well well, isnt this just grand? its just like i was not wearing the armor at all.... but we will need to get more of these and arm them, our body armor is good, but i would prefer us doing combat while in these exo armors, i see directly from the armors eyes as i would see from my own, it must link to us as we enter it... amazing, and powerfull, yet also very agile.

Silver looked back, his head inside the armor's head as he crouched the wings came up and at the end where the exhaust of the jets were, came to life and the armor lifted from the deck.

Storm: Haveing fun in there? *smile*

Nova: Too bad we only managed to get two of the units out of there, i wonder if the data on them was with the data that Mary and the others got, perhaps theres data with it that shows any weapon systems intended for the exo armor?

Silver powered down the unit and got out, then turned and stared at the units.

Sevarith: Some of the others think they can improve on its agility even more with no impact on its protection, they also think they can upgrade the jumpjets with what tools they got from the facility.

Silver: Good, let them toy around with the equipment we have. They need a classification name you know... we cant just call them exo armor all the time.. any sugestions?
