"Hah I remember that Old fart, and his I love you son **** at the beginning. Well we all show our true side sometimes, his came sooner then later." - Michael began recording and remembering The Old Man and his life with him. At this time his ship was entering atmosphere, so he took manual control.

"Let me do my magic here." - He spoke full with confidence and ego.

Thrusted his Sabre to full impulse power and converted all energy into the engines to give the vessel enough power to enter and breach the atmosphere. The ship started to shake, alarms were blaring inside the ship.

**HULL BREACH POSSIBLE** **HULL BREACH POSSIBLE**
**SHIELDS AT 37 %** SHIELDS AT 37 %**

"Haha! Lets go baby! All power into shields and engines! This will give you a boost!"

With this final effort Michael managed to breach the atmosphere and was once again in open space. No hostile targets were shown on scanners, a quiet day in space as he says it.

"Ahhh there we go. Now back to the auto-pilot. I have some more remembering to do! I am a quite amusing person to hear about!" - Again Michael spoke with an egoistic tone in his voice.

As he was listening to the logs about The Old Man, and the body armor he started remembering it, and his mind drifted away from the logs into a state of reminiscence. The body armor, his one and true love next to his ship.

He remembered him working with The Old Man on it. After he came to his residence not much time passed to when The Old Man showed his most prized experiment to Michael. A Body Armor that increases abilities of the one who wears it to unimaginable limits. Beyond humanly possible.

The armor affects the wearer's nervous system, enhancing his reflexes and reaction time by more then three times. It also connects to the wearer's head, affecting the visual and hearing system, as well as implementing different visual abilities that can be activated when wearing the armor. Infrared view and night vision as well as an enhanced hearing system.

The entire armor is made out of a specially modified material, that The Old Man was researching for many years, along with the research that he made with fellow scientists on Cambridge Research Station before he was chased away for his ideas that were considered impossible. A Titanium based alloy, mixed with super resistant rubber atoms to keep it from solidifying. The visor was made out of the same alloy, as well as certain solidified plasma materials to ensure transparency and enable the visual data to be streamed into the visual center and feed to the wearer's eye.

The armor connected with the wearer's muscular tissue as well, injecting steroids on a regular basis. A small dose enough to ensure a constant growth and increased muscular power. The armor injected some sort of fluid into the bone tissue, which increased the bone tissue durability. The muscular power that increased provided the wearer with extra strength when wearing the armor. Jumping distance increased by three times, hand grip pressure increased by four times. But this only comes into affection when the armor is worn, as soon as the armor is taken off the tissue that was affected by the armor starts to desintegrate, so only a small time in the armor is recommended. The body of the wearer is expect to desintegrate on regular basis, and after time it will become addicted to the armor.

The gun that comes with the armor, and is powered from the armor's power core is a unique gun. The gun is made out of lightened titanium material, enriched with adamantium atoms. Making the gun extremely light yet still hard enough to withstand every weather condition and impact. The ammo for the gun is entirely energy based. A plasma material enriched with adamantium atoms to ensure the penetrating ability. The beam that the gun shoots is considered extremely dangerous, as it desintegrates some materials on touch. Therefore doesn't need to hit its target, simply needs to tip the target and the are of effect will spread, but not forever. Depending on the tipped surface the are will desintegrate.

The armor can be powered up using special crystals found only in few places. It also requires a specially designed chamber and powering system to be connected to. The Old Man had this system in his residence, in the lab underneath the surface, and also one smaller powering system implemented in his vessel.

"Yeah I remember the armor well. How its power drew me. The Old Man certainly made me killing him easier! Haha!" - Michael finally snapped out from the dreaming state.
