But this was enough for Samuel to have recovered, his wounds already having finished knitting themselves. He staggered back to his feet and looked around, the Federation had been forced back, but Frank was still at large. He looked over his situation...while his interface suit still held the upgrades his old one had, he couldn't use any of them until he found another compatible suit of armour. And without even an emergency pistol to his young name, Samuel certainly couldn't take on Frank without it. His interface suit's energy tanks were all depleted, so he himself would receive any hits he took rather than his shielding.
This was not an ideal situation...so he needed to find some manner of energy recharge. He looked at one federation assault rifle that looked usable enough and shrugged as he took it as his own...it still had a full clip, though he decided that the soldier's hand still stuck to it would not do at all, so he pried it off. He still had the map uploaded to his mind, though he could no longer get real time data from it, it was now more like a still shot in his memory. He remembered the location of a nearby emergency station and staggered into a lift, needing to extend out his left arm to catch himself as he stumbled around.
He panted out as the lift descended to a deep level of the research station. He reached a level, apparently untouched by the chaos above where scientists were still working. Unlike last time, they were on alert and thus immediately noticed them. One of them, bald on his head but possessing a full brown beard was the first to speak. "You! What is your business here?" He demanded to know, on edge now that the facility was going to hell. "Frank...all I want, is to get Frank." He responded, exasperated but quickly recovering as he raised his assault rifle.
"Now...as you can see, I'm no longer quite in the condition to take him on...but if you could show me any fancy super weapon that could help me do this...I would be really appreciative..." He finished, causing the apparent lead scientist to cock his head backwards a bit. "Did you say Frank? Right then, I will help you. I cannot stand that butcher...There is a prototype suit, made not only to reverse engineer but exceed a Chozo power suit. It is in a room to the right door. There is also a ship that goes along with it, also a prototype; it is called the Delano 7. The suit will also come with a specialized shock coil that can drain energy and feed it to its user, an alt mode of its very own that comes with its own unique weapons system. All I ask for in return is that you help me and my colleagues get out of here safely." He responded, looking straight at the tall youth who considered his words.
"Right then...I'll see what I can do." Samuel responded as he followed the scientist's advice and found the suit. It was primarily blue, but it had geometric green lines that ran across various parts of it. It didn't seem to have an apparent visor, but there was a green line that ran down the middle of the helmet. It's arm cannon was best described as an arm blade-gun, it looked sharp enough to be used as an legitimate edged weapon, and two plane wing shaped blades jutted out from its shoulders.
Samuel gave a brief wolf whistle of admiration before reaching out to touch the suit. But as he did, it disappeared and dispersed into a cloud of blue particles as he stepped onto the circle where it was being held. It then began to swirl around the seventeen year old; it's whirling intensifying before the boy seemed to vanish completely. When the light finally died down, he was now equipped with the suit that soon analysed and adjusted itself to the modules stored in its interface suit.
His arm and leg armour turned a shade of indigo while the green lines turned blue to match the gravity suit's blue visor. A little emitter on the bottom of his left arm emerged for his grapple beam, the suit also came with other upgrades, for one it provided superior physical enhancement over Samuel's old suit, it's shielding also blocked out more damage, and he gained a host of upgrades for his alt mode, named the lockjaw. He gained tripwire bombs and tripwire power bombs, the spring jaw, the boost jaw, the spider jaw.
