The shield sprang to life as Sam commanded it, forming a translucent, energy-absorbing barrier in front of him. It shimmered with a faint blue light, mirroring the lines of light that ran across the mech suit's body. Sam flexed his left arm, testing the shield's responsiveness. It moved in perfect synchronization with his motions, adjusting its position and angle based on his movements.
"Shield deployed," the AI announced. "Energy absorption at maximum capacity."
Sam grinned, impressed by the suit's capabilities. He scanned the area, looking for a suitable target to test the shield's durability. His gaze settled on a cluster of trees a short distance away.
"AI, give me a projection of how the shield would hold up against a falling tree," Sam instructed.
"Calculating impact resistance," the AI responded. "The shield is capable of withstanding up to 150 tons of force. A falling tree should pose minimal threat."
