There it was, the culmanation of 50 years of research, over 1 trillion of dollars of development costs, the most advanced infantry system known to man.............

and it was scratching it's crotch...


"Cut that out soldier! There's children here for god's sake!!!" yelled Maxwell Seville in a low but authoritative grunt.
"Yes sir, sorry sir, but this damn thing is itchy" replied Master Sgt. Moore, as he snapped to attention.
"Now get over on that stupid pedestal, they are going to raise the curtain soon" Seville bellowed as he prepared his speech.

Just as he spoke, the lights flickered, music began to play in the background and the curtian began to rise.


*Ladies and Gentlemen, Field Marshall Maxwell Seville*
There was a great eruption of applause.

"Thank you, thank you. Ladies and gentelmen, foriegn dignitaries, members of the press, military advisors and other guests, may I present to you, the all new ArchAngel Infantry Combat System."
The stage fades to black, a bright spotlight illumiates a blue and white figure, his back turned to the auidince. Master Sgt. Moore exucutes a perfect about face, and the audiience is in shock, oohs, ahhs and sushes are heard as the sgt brandishes his sidearm, and then removes his primary weapon from his shoulder.
"The 8-Layer, Pressurized ArchAngel Armor System offers the soldier who wears it, full tactical situational awareness, protection from common fragmentry and projectile weapons and fire, NBC protection, protection against extreme tempuratures and submersion in water, protection from falling, bumps or melee attacks, improved traction and strength, improved healing, and is invaulable on todays dynamic battlefield. We expect to convert 100% of our Infantry forces to this system within 5 years. Testing is complete, this is not a prototype, this is the production model. This is a closely guarded secret and plans will be sold only for exactly 2 quadrillion us dollars."
"I can take a limited number of questions from the members of the press and the international community at this time" Maxwell Seville said as the lights came back up.

[ooc: you, yes you the one reading this post right now are the international community and u can ask any question(some things havent been finalized yet so bear with me if i cant answer)!]





[ooc] FYI: I'm going Post Modern/Semi-Near Future Tech!!!! Weee!
rougly 2015-2040 time frame. I will still of course maintain "modern tech Phoenix Milita" in an alternate reality/timeline. The reason of this move to Semi-FT is so that I can start using my ArchAngel system! Which I have always wanted to use but never could because it was too advanced! MUCH more on the Arch Angel Systems will be posted soon so stay tuned
I will utilize only limited space tech however, Mars( and maybye the closest asteroids) being the furthest reach of our exploratory ambitons

::A agent of Nodtof stands up, clad in a black busniss suit, and with a little briefcase next to his chair. In his hand he is holding a small hand computer. The man is quite fat, unlike most of the people from nodtof, and could obvious pay for quite some good jewelry, judging from the rolex watch and the golden ring on one of his finger. Strangly enough the man didn't seem to be awed by the performance of the armour::

::The man clears his troath slightly, and then begins to talk, a harsh voice::

Will you be selling this armour to other nations, and or, the plans of the armour. ::the eyes of the man drill into the eyes of Maxwell Seville, not even letting blinking once::

OOC Well, our nation is this tech cause it can do space travle, besides that, we are just a tad weird. On the ground, we are 2030 about. Come to Venus, we will welcome you to our cities.

IC The Selucid sat in the chair, looking around with barly seeing eyes. He held a laptop on his lap, the whole thing had wires coming out from everywhere, implanted into different parts of the Selucid's skin. As the infomation was given, it was loaded onto a closed chatroom. The Selucid looked at the machine, a system of wires so advanced only the Transport gates matched. The Thing almost drooled, that would be a Selucid's Heaven, all that technology avalible, they could live off the machine. He put this in the report, and watched.

:
Will you be selling this armour to other nations, and or, the plans of the armour.
Yes we will, as I have stated, we have put the price at 2 quadrillion dollars. Anyone willing to bankrupt thier nations, is free to purchase it. Of course any nation who puts up 2 quadrillion dollars will no doubt need loans from several of its allies.

[ooc: in other words nobodys gonna get thier hands on it in the forseeable future ;) ]

An image of the smei-pressurised Kevlar/Nomex under suit has been released

this is layer 2 of the 8 layer system ........... to the right is a female modeling the stand-alone kevlar suit, (which I am issuing to my regular forces)



Layer 0 Input/Output/Control and Sensors
Layer 1 Pressurization
Layer 2 Kevlar Bodysuit
Layer 3 Minimalized Exo-Skeleton/NanoMuscle
Layer 4 Equipment/Mesh Layer
Layer 5 Component Layer
Layer 6 Armor Layer
Layer 7 Weapons Layer

OOC: Wouldn't the soldiers in it collapse from exhaustion/heat afte wearing it for a few minutes....I mean, soldiers in just one NBC suit are seriously restricted in movement, and can't do much running etc without tiring. But that suit has 8 layers....

There is an air conditoning system.

The US Army is developing such systems for thier NBC suits, the army prototype is about the size of a CD-ROM. My suit will have 5 of a more advanced version of these.

"Would that suit not be extremly heavy and near impossible to wear during extended periods of combat without having the wearear pass out from exhaustion? Please, explain." Asked the Alexian delegate.

"I'm glad you asked that, allow Sgt Moore to demonstrate"
The crowd gasps as MSGT Moore gets arunning start and jumps off of the stage (which is about 20 feet off the ground) and lands on his feet. He turns around and darts up the stairs, jumping 5 stairs at once.

The ArchAngel system features a much improved and compactversion of the American Exo-Skeleton system. This compensates for the weight, and in fact the whole suit feels like it weighs less than cotton underwear beacuse of it. It also improves speed and reduces damage that would be sustained when falling.

rember this is post modern, so it stands to reason I was able to imporve upon it.

A Military Advisor from Anagonia, dressed in a Military Uniform, stood to ask a question on behalf of his government.

"Greetings, I'm Colonel Richards from Anagonia, and I wish to ask a quick question." He cleared his throat, then started, "As we have seen, this is indeed an interesting suit, one capable of much admiring from the many nation seeing such potential from the Phoenix Militia's engineering capabilities. However, on behalf of current Anagonian Military Research, I am forced to ask if this suit could take a direct attack from a, shall we say, heavy projectile or any other type of weapon."

what do you mean by heavy projectile?



"Information on exact penetration is CLASSIFIED!, However I can inform you that the 9mm Parabellum, NATO 5.56mm round and Russian 5.45 and 7.62mm rounds are ineffective against this armor, vital areas are virtualy impervious to those standard rounds.

Colonel Richards nodded, "Thank you kindly for your answer."

heh

The Selucid Was praticly drooling. This thing would be perfect for his kind. He Stood, the laptop wires removing themselves from his skin.

"If the wire systems would have to be advanced, how can you stop the system from collapsing after a major wire is disconnected? Would that not cut all power from the suit?" All the time he spoke in a voice that betrayed his longing to touch it.

"If any of the major electric lines are cut, the soldier is going to have to worry about alot more than having no power. Since the power source and distrubution is buried deep under 7 layers, if it were cut most likely his body would have also suffered several deep penetrating wounds." replied Seville.

"Muthafuck!"whispered the Alexian delegate to his assistant"We needa get us soma does!"

His assistant nodded fervently.

The Chronosian delegate watched and smiled wryly; a truly magnificent development.
He stood, coughing slightly, smoothing a hand over his shimmering power armor. "The Chronosian Imperium will buy one for purpose of R&D, based on your most exquisite designs. But please; tell us more."

:( im afraid it's not for sale (yet)

and besides. He said you can't afford it.

thats the whole point of the price.

Multiple planet spannign Empire....I think we can try

combining puppet's budgets is godmoding, and accordiong to mr. third geek and pippan there is no way u could even afford 1 quadrillion dollars :p

Multiple planet spannign Empire....I think we can try

exactly.

and who said he was playing future tech?

Who said he wasn't?
I'm Post Modern tech/Semi-Future

exactly.

and who said he was playing future tech?
I did....

and whatever Chronosia, you dont have 4 quadrillion dollars, allow me to make this easier, the price is now 999 quadrillion dollars ok. get the picture?

blah
