Now's my chance. Jen, tag them before they leave, I don't want them sneaking up on me. all of a sudden, two red diamonds appeared, with a slowly increasing number above them. first fifteen meters, then eighteen meters. the two people stopped. I could hear the ignition of another car, and then the tags started to move again, this time faster. then, they disappeared completely, finally moving out of tracking range. I then headed over to the car, quietly, in case they came back or had more people guarding it.
.:want me to unlock the doors? because I could easily unlock those doors:. Jen asked, while I was looking at the locking mechanism.
Nah, I can get it. besides, I need to practice my lock picking anyways, i've been getting rusty ever since you were put in my head. I took the wallet out of my pocket, and opened a secret lead lined compartment that hid all of my lock picking supplies. I carefully started with the door, and in under ten seconds, the door was opened. I put my tools back in their places, and put it back in my pocket. Let's see what we have. I opened the side door, and there it was. can you tell me what it is Jen? I asked, holding the materiel in my hand.
.:well, it's not a fabric, its mechanical. the whole suit is made up of nanobots, and they seem to be on a default setting:. Thats weird, nanobots now are just used for fast ammunition production for the military and basic household cleaning supplies. so either the two guards work for the military,
.:it seems to be some sort of advanced body armor. this thing has over 3,000 different tasks it could complete though. would you like me to list them all:.
no, just give me the basics.
.:Well, it hardens up into armor when you are in danger, can survive reentry with you in it, can withstand temperatures hotter than a volcano without the wearer feeling anything other than a slight change in temperature, can change the molecules around you to give you almost complete invisibility or` slow bullets:. hearing these tasks made me think of it as a wearable multi-tool. it seemed too good to be true though, and I needed to know if it was a trap or not. Jen, can you check and see if there are any things that could kill or trap me, I want to test this out before we head back.
.:Sure:. I could then feel the lack of a presence in my head, signaling that she left into the confines of the chip, to look through the list. Must be a lot of data to take in. I thought, as she rarely needed to leave my consciousness in order to read data. Well, I guess I just have to sit and wait.
