Getting back to their room Luck strips off what's left of his uniform and jumps in the shower for the second time of the day. While showering he was lamenting over his broken uniform while reflecting on the combat test.
*Im missing both offense and defense, any suggestions?*
[System - You know how I make my clothes with nanobots? I could do the same thing for you. You wouldn't even be able to feel those rubber bullets for example. Besides the added defense it's also self cleaning and can repair itself if it gets damaged.]
*That would actually be pretty amazing, but what about offense? I don't mind using a gun like earlier, but I don't necessarily want to. Do you think I could copy other people's abilities like Rooster? I think if we find out what makes them different and if it's related to their DNA or something like that I should be able to make those own changes to myself right?*
[System - Possibly, if it's purely related to DNA or genetics you could indeed clone their ability. However most abilities, don't actually work like that without help from the system. That is to say the "magic" part is related to this universes system. In that regard if I wasn't your system then you could have done that.]
Thinking about that Luck decided it didn't matter, he would still have preferred having Yuki with him. If he was given the choice right now, he would still choose her without any hesitation. Resolving himself to find something else that worked for him he hopped out of the shower.
Yuki felt a little touched seeing Luck's thought process. Calculating what Luck could have become without her involvement, she felt guilty knowing she was actually limiting him now. She also resolved herself to try harder and help him out as best she could.
To start with she went over and used her nanites to dry him off and fix his hair again, before making him his own nano-suit. Forming it to appear just like the cadet uniform, she made a few augmentations to it along the way.
"This isn't just any normal piece of clothing, Yuki explains. First off it will serve as body armor for you, it can absorb and redistribute kinetic energy from incoming projectiles and physical blows to a extent. Among the defensive properties it will also absorb energy blasts like lasers, heat and radiation."
Secondly this armor also serves to enhance your physical abilities. You can think of it like how normal clothing has cloth fibers to keep it together, with nanotechnology these fibers are living metal that will bond together and act as a second set of muscles, augmenting anything you do physically.
Since the nano-suit is literally apart of me, I can control it at will. If your in danger I can spread the suit to cover your entire body. If a situation occurs where the air is compromised or there is no oxygen you won't have to worry about it, I will make a rebreather for you.
"There is also a cloaking function. If you don't want to be seen or heard, just think about being invisible and most humans won't be able to see you, nor will most kinds of radar or detection devices. There is a sound absorption effect in place so they won't hear you either. This works best if your standing still, and is less effective if you move around as a sort of shimmer can be seen by perceptive enemies."
"There are limits obviously, temperatures that exceed 6,500 degrees Fahrenheit will start to melt the suit, temperature over 10,000 degrees will destroy it to where it can't recover. The opposite temperature range is true about extreme cold, it will start to freeze and then break."
"Lastly it comes with climate control, I can keep you comfortable in almost any environment. Self cleaning, self repairing etc. I can teach you the full capability list if you want?" This is just the summarized version Yuki explains.
"Go ahead and give me the full details. Thanks, your the best." Luck grins and gives her a hug while Yuki sends him the full version through the system.
Now that she was literally covering him with her own body, Yuki was feeling a sense of euphoria. This close connection with a part of her body resonated with her soul and she felt finally alive again. Before this she had been feeling a sort of disconnection that she could only describe as soul rending from the moment she regained her body. The farther away her body moved from Luck the worse it felt. This was why she didn't mind laying on him and also why she kept taking his arm for herself.
Luck had another idea occur to him, "hey since the nano-suit is literally your own body and you previously mentioned your entire body is made of nanotechnology. Are you able to break yourself down completely? If so, you could attach yourself to me. That could come in handy in certain situations I think?"
Giving it a try, Yuki quickly spread the rest of her body out to cover Luck.
Luck had inadvertently given her a idea that would actually allow her to control him. As he was currently inside her, she could keep him immobilized if she wanted too, however she no longer felt like controlling him anymore. She shifted herself around and into the nano-suit uniform, but her added mass couldn't be dispersed well enough to make it look normal.
She came up with another variation and now Luck was covered head to toe in a exoskeleton. The entire thing was black and silver in color, with wide and thick striated armored muscles covering everywhere he had muscles and over the places like the spine, face, kneecaps, elbows, pelvis hands and feet was segmented silver metal plating.
The headgear was quite unique, up to the cheeks was thinner black striated muscles and covering the mouth, chin and nose was a sleek silver armored rebreather that was perfectly smooth. He had a reflective silver visor that covered his eyes. Around the head the back and top appeared to be open so his hair was allowed to be left out. All around his hair however was a intricate web of silver plating that couldn't be seen because of his hair. He also had nanites hidden in his hair. It left a illusion that his head wasn't protected when in reality it was heavily guarded.
[System - It works, but the added mass from my body can't be hidden quite so easily with just the cadet uniform design, this exoskeleton design is one that we can use for battle]
Taking a look at himself in the mirror, Luck thought it was amazing. He went through a series of poses and phantom boxed for a minute while checking himself out before he felt his PFED vibrate. He had lost track of time, and knew that their escort to the infirmary was likely standing right outside the door.
