- Tricks Up Your Sleeve -
- Phase III "Force Avenger" Energy Shield - Sharing space in the shoulder with the connection node and synth-web nerve system, the shield can project either a film like shield over the body, or a bubble projection around the user of the arm.
- Modified Palm Laser - Able to fire during a punch* or through standard extension of the fingers outward.
- Electrical Filament - Nodes grafted into the knuckles can be fired to attack a target and create a Stun effect.
- Armsaw Blade - A Retractable chainsaw style blade running from elbow to wrist inside the arm, functioning as a support strut when not in use. It extends from its 25.4 centimeter support form, to its expanded form of 58.2 centimeters ending in a guide arm composed of Songsteel-Laminanium Alloy teeth running the length.
+ Robust + Knowing the line of work the cybernetic would get into, the frame and construction of the arm was made to withstand a great deal of abuse. Songsteel and Laminanium provide outstanding resistance to lightsabers and energy weapons, while the Skuggalegt dampens Ion and EMP effects.
+ Punch Gun + With a closed fist, and some creative use of deflection properties, a shotgun blast of energy can be used with the already heavy arm.
+ Shielded + Another caveat to the survival requirement of the arm was a dedicated and ready shield to protect the wearer even if the majority of the arm is taken.
+ Shocking Point + While not lethal, the shock filaments make for a nasty surprise on the unsuspecting.
+ Razors Edge + A hidden chainsaw style weapon sits astride the arm strut and can be unleashed from the forearm with devastating effect. Songsteel-Laminanium teeth make the weapon particularly effective at a number of tasks.
+ Palm Shot + If the fingers are extended outward, the full function of the palm laser are reached, and a dedicated blaster shot from the palm can reach roughly 40 meters accurately with the upscaled power cell.
+ Kinda Sneaky + The blending of Skuggalegt Polymer into the process has added a matte finish to the product, and makes the process of using the arm functions mostly silent, as well as able to deceive most common scanners from perceiving it.
- Bulky - The need to resist abuse and other threats came with the cost of a somewhat heavier frame/construction. While not unwieldy, the weight may eventually become tiresome or even unbearable with age. A Sling is suggested when not in use to reduce body and connection fatigue.
- Hacked - Not an outright worry since it does not directly connect to the holo-net, the chance exists for the arm to receive unwanted coding if the person it is connected to become unconscious. Basic functions can become haywire and the use of the arm dangerous until corrected.
- Shake on It - When the blade is extended, use of the hand is limited as the guide rail rests atop the back of the hand. Attempting to use the hand in its standard range of motion in this form can potentially damage either the guide, teeth, or the hand itself.
- Shotgunning - While the bolt from the palm laser can be distributed in a Shotgun fashion by means of a clenched fist, the range drops to close quarters and outside the recipient of the punch, stray bolt damage is negligible.
- Mostly Sneaky - Focused Military scanners will catch the power cell inside the arm.
- Bad Vibrations - Sonic Weapons can shake loose components or even shake apart the arm itself if substantial enough. Maintenance in the field is not suggested but not impossible.
- Slow Corrections - While Laminanium is present in the arm, it does not quickly fix the arm itself by any means. Large gouges, dents, and pits will have self repairs in under 7 days. Missing or Shattered components will need entirely replaced. The armsaw teeth mend within a Maximum 2 day period of severely damaged.
- Disrupted - Offering almost no resistance to this form of attack, the arm suffers the same as a biological hit by this energy, albeit at a slightly, perhaps minute even, slower rate.
While not pleased by the news, Dominik's loss of his cybernetic arm did present Niki with an opportunity to give him an updated cybernetic prosthetic with combat capabilities and a way to find him if needed.
Perhaps not what he had in mind entirely, but the construction began with weighing the potential uses against some of the stories she had learned of through Dominik and some of his associates that were willing to share details of past events that wouldn't get any of them in trouble.
Weighing the pros and cons of materials available, she ultimately decided something with a focus on deflecting lightsabers was the proper vein to focus, especially given the original cause of the need for replacement.
REAPP was more than happy to begin stress testing different compounds while Niki scoured the market and holo-net for old designs to improve upon and incorporate.
Featuring a Songsteel and Laminanium alloy, alongside Skuggalegt infusions, wrapped in Druetium and Alloyplast Housings with Chalcopyrite wiring. While not entirely dissimilar to a Crushgaunt, the finger digits of the hand were bolstered with the Songsteel-Laminanium Alloy to a surprising effect with the palm laser.
Configuring the Shield and Power Cell to the same housing while running power Conduits down to the palm through the main arm strut to allow for use of the palm laser.
Much of the bicep houses the synth-web nerve systems and processing systems, while the flexible Druetium Infused Alloy plast housing provides a sturdy but pliable outer housing. Initial stress testing revealed a strong need for additional alloys after an incident with Ion emissions caused the arm to violently apply force in daily use such as mealtime or brushing one's teeth.
Adding Skuggalegt was the solution, and finding that the Laminanium largely took care of anti-rust and anti-scuff needs.
While the self repair was handy, it was noted to not be relied upon for anything major as it took considerable time while removal of components affected the functionality of the self repair.
Content with her work, she presented the arm as a surprise gift for Dominik.
