Salomon Labs : Octopus Suit Mk1 ()

Designed to help its wearer with various tasks the suit will be attached to the spinal nerve column of its user or host. Due to advancements in neuro-engineering these nerve attachments can be done none intrusive making it substantially easier to put on and off the user. The side effect being that synchronization between user and suit will progress much more slowly than dierect Implantation would achieve, it is yet to be determined if this is a positive or negative. The looser connection of user and suit made it nessecary to update the "abstract-syntax-translator" to perform tasks almost full autonomous acording to the users abstract wishes and desires. This coupled with the suits inherent instincts may make it difficult to control if the user is not synced up properly and even than accidents are to be expected. So far test subject "Snow" is able to directly control just one tentacle for the time being, although grabing objects with abstract commands seems to work also.

As with all products of Salomon Labs the suit is uniquely tailored to the users physiology. The outer material is an elastic rubber-silicon compound fabric keeping the wearer warm and comfortable, while also able to withstand up to level 3 cutting and abrasion forces. Entry of the suit is loacated on the back, with the spinal cord attachment being the last step to seal the suit. Fortunately test subject Snow is not able to sweat, so the suits internal heat management should keep him comfortable even for extended surface stays, but this is subjective as heavy usage if the suits capabilities will lead to increased heat production.

The tentacles of the suit are filled with a gel-liquid filled with specially designed algae, although singluar organisms they form a neuronal net which enables them to acts as a singular entity. Electric impulses from the "abstract-syntax-translator" will trigger contractions of the gel layers to stimulate movement. These neuronal nets can be reconnected or reenforced enabling the suit to "learn". To keep the tentacles operational small thin lines filled with patented nutrision liquid will regulate energy distribution. Sadly our engineers were not able to reproduce the marvel that is the octopus suckers, but instead went with a concept borrowed from remora fish for the underside of the tentacles, final tests for these abilities are expected at phase 2.


Thank you for the idea with the octopus suit  SquishyWizard229
