AHS-20 Shade
One of the many dangers of the Cross Dimension is the numerous amounts of parasites and symbiotes that make their residence there. This parasite was first encountered on Faras III when a portal opened and a rapid response battalion of Praxian Infantry investigated. The parasite [a huge gelatinous blue wave] engulfed the entire battalion and managed to breach their armor. During the first stage of the infection the parasite breaches the armor and engulfs the wearer fusing the wearers Datafilm to their body and insinuating itself into every orifice and taking control of the brain and body functions turn the wearer into a brainless zombie, other parts of the infection cause the suit to be coated with the parasite as well and changing the appearance. During the second stage of infection the suit itself is fused with the wearer's body and becomes a physical part of the body as an Exo-skeleton. Other changes are the extension of fingers and toes that become claw-like and pulsing blue veins run-throughout the armor and two glowing spheres come into existence in the shoulder pads. The Stage 2 victims become more intelligent mainly due to the fact that they have now developed a hive mind. If a stage two infection form grapples someone successfully for three rounds a part of the armor sloughs off and tries to enter the closest orifice, if it manages to make it into an orifice the person is immediately paralyzed and undergoes a rapid transformation to a Stage 2 infection within twenty-four hours and weather they were wearing armor or not a parasite cocoon surrounds the victim and then hatches open after the 24-hour period loosing a new Stage 2 Parasite. After the initial take over of the battalion the parasite managed to infect and take-over the entire population of the planet within 96 hours.

The inner Thermo-Gel layer helps keep the wearer at a moderate temperate and is good up to 300 degrees Celsius and down to -125 degrees Celsius. This layer also helps to scrub excess CO2 from the suit and recycle it into oxygen; this helps to extend the air supply of the suit to approximately 120 hours. If the wearer is in a semi-oxygenated area or better the suit’s seals can be cracked and supply can be extended to 180 hours. | ||

Plumbing | ||
|
The suit can recycle most waste excreted by the wearer into potable water and an extremely bland tasting gruel; although the intrinsic value of the gruel becomes less and less with each recycling as the suit only carries a limited supply of the necessary daily vitamins and minerals [approximately three days]. | ||
