"Unfortunately, that is unlikely. The only other features of interest are kinetic dampeners and built-in night vision. I have begun designing prototypes that have a new design and slightly more festures., though, so this will not be standard issue forever."

She sighed and drooped her ears a bit.

"I don't plan to perform espionage.. i just want to know what they tried to use on either our friend here.. or us... and if there is a counter measure."

"I wouldn't worry about what they said. Those Avali are definitely a bad bunch if they think mugging is perfectly legal outside their star system."

// edited that and added Kinetic Dampeners, btw
"The Guards are rarely outside the settlements and the station. Thermal vision did not seem useful at first, but I am incorporating that into the new design along with an aim assist system. I am also planning on making it airtight with a respiratory system and air filter. The biggest challenge is fitting all the features in while retaining the new design's shape."

"Don't worry too much- they're probably just paranoid xenophobes. They're not too huge a threat. Even if they are, we've got them under control. I'm not the only 'special' guard, after all. Not even the strongest one, either... That'd be the Sergeant."

"There is not much of a computer, unfortunately. While technology has advanced very well, the power armor design has not received an upgrade apart from the messily implemented shields. The new design will have enough memory and the like to handle the targeting program being coded by one of my colleagues."
