"So, Jenkins, is it?" Asked General Blak, head still reeling from his unexpected promotion that meant his duties included all of the cutting edge technology utilized by the millitary, not just the satellites he was used to.

"Yes, sir," said Jenkins.

"So, Jenkins, what do you have me down here to see?"

"Well, sir, do you know how Kraven has that CP armor?"

"Yes, yes."

"Well, that set the boys at R&D thinking."

"Don't tell me that they've bought Kraven armor! The last thing we need is Kraven coming after us!"

"No, sir! It just got them to thinking about armor. They decided to take a somewhat different route though."

"Explain this."

"Armored exoskeltons sir."

"Hmm?"

"You'd probably ought to see the prototype for yourself."

Present Day

"Salutations to the nations of the world. This is Aesonic News Network's Josh Lark with a special broadcast. Today the Empress has asked me to announce that an armored exoskeleton."

An image followed, of a man wearing the exoskelton. It stood about eight feet high. It was roughly the shape of a human, except that it had no head, the man's head being at the top of the exoskeleton, at about the chest. The man's arms and legs moved along the exoskeleton's about half way. The man was also completely enclosed, his head viewable through a clear material.

"When the controller moves his limbs, or even his fingers, he activates switches, which copy his movement to the larger frame."

The exoskeleton lifted its hand and waved at the camera.

"In addition, this man's got about half the armor of a modern tank. He won't stop rocket weaponry, but small arms fire?"

Two men walked out with submachine guns and started firing. None of the bullets hit the porthole, but all pinged off of the armor, doing little more than scratching the paint.

"Now, this man has been working with the Einheri Exoskeleton's since their creation, so he makes this look easier than it really is, but it's still impressive."

The exoskeleton bent down and picked up an egg, displaying it to the camera before crushing it to prove that it was real.

"Of course, the exoskeleton is also armed. In the man's hand there is a firing mechanism, which requires a specific type of pressure in specific areas, to avoid accidental firing."

The exoskeleton raised it's arm, and bullets leapt from it's wrist, tearing up a target with great accuracy.

"We'll now go to our viewers for comments. Call 1000-415-426-3148!"
