Code Name: Energy Claws
Manufacturer: Aloysius Drebbel / the Tintagel
Part Type: Energy-based knuckle blades / claws
Construction Type: Energy-based
Equipment and Design Features
Based on the studies of the past Energy Wing System the Tintagel has developed the Energy Claws, consisting of energy in a solid form to form a knuckle blades like weapon for cutting and blocking physical objects.
In basic use 2-4 blades can be activated at a time by the devicer to be used like regular knuckle blades. All the five blades can be unlocked with a code, this also enabling them to attach themselves to the fingers of the Knightmare to be used as additional claws moving along the fingers and boost them into even more efficient use, to be able to slash practically through anything, even energy shields.
As the blades consists of tangible energy, they’re stronger a weapon than those of based on MV technology and thus also capable of destroying MV -based weapons and blocking other energy-based weaponry. In comparison they’re also more swift and agile to use. Though in turn the Energy Claws consume the KF’s propulsive energy as the system needs to be integrated into the KF for it to work. The basic of 2 to 8 blades can be used for about 45 minutes at maximum per energy filler, depending of the number of the blades (45 minutes being the maximum for 2 blades and so on). All the boosted five blades can be used up to 10 minutes per energy filler.
(All limits based on estimations of the overall energy consumption in general during an average battle, with e.g. shield system on and other weapons also being used.)
Development RP: One of the computer room’s walls consisted of a huge window and behind it many mechanical instruments could be seen, moving around and bending one at a time towards something in the middle of that smaller space where one big robotic hand been set up, connection wires spreading out and disappearing behind the sets of instruments from it’s end normally attached to a Knightmare. The final, small burst of sparks diminished, and with a couple of commands typed away Aloysius made the hand turn around on its mounting, for a moment observing the little white buttons now attached to the knuckles of the clenched hand. He tapped a couple of more buttons, and the hand turned back to its original position, its knuckles now facing to the left. The man paused his typing for a while as he leaned forward to look at some statistic and check the scheme flashing on the screen for the last time. Then, with a couple of more series’ of tapping he activated the experimental hand and pushed the final button. For a moment, nothing happened. Aloysius stared at the direction of hand, waiting, not immediately giving away a cry of dissatisfaction he already had almost made. A second more, and two – then, a faint blue light began to shimmer around the white knuckle buttons, and then burst into full shape, forming four quivering, shining blades of light starting from the knuckles of the hand. Aloysius felt something cold melt away from his stomach, and the stern, almost grim expression of his melted away with it. A loud cry rang through the room (and most likely the whole nearest section) – a cry of joy. It worked. It finally worked!
With a wide grin on his face, Aloysius sat back down. The furious typing started anew. Schemes and paragraphs of numbers flashed through the row of screens, a couple of password being demanded and fed in seconds, the blue glow gradually growing and balancing behind the glass. One more password, and the glow diminished for a second, then burst out the fifth blade from the thumb’s knuckle button. Aloysius manipulated the hand for a while, the blue blades now having attached themselves to the fingers by covering them with their glow and thus, moving along with them. He laughed out loud in pure delight.
“ – chief Drebbel, sir, we’re really starting to reach our destination. Everything should be ready for landing – “
Aloysius turned around on his chair, a bit surprised to see someone else being also there. One of the new ones was (still) standing at the doorway of the room.
”Since when have you been here..? Oh, whatever. Tell them I’ll wrap this up in a minute.”
“Sir –“
But Aloysius didn’t listen. He scrolled through files, humming to himself. A scheme of something resembling wings flickered on a screen on his right side. Hadn’t these past researchers been plain ingenious… Such a system as the Energy Wings, for example, already been created a hundred years ago. Well, his development of the Energy Claws was a good start for making a good use of this pure energy consisting technology slightly been grasped some hundred years ago, thus the weapons created by it were far more capable and developable than e.g. the current MV technology, though the Energy systems demanded much more energy and were thus also more risky a choice – but oh, so fascinating one to tinker with.
Aloysius continued typing and slowly the glow faded behind the glass, first the five-blade stage of the Claws diminishing into its former four-blade form, and as the scientist shut down the systems one at the time the claws of energy disappeared one at a time, finally the hand being disengaged of the wires connected to it. The man gave out a deep sigh.
Energy Claws "An energy-based weapon system to basically form a knuckle blades like weapon for cutting and blocking physical objects. Can also be boosted to a stage where more powerful claws are formed and enabled to move along the KF's fingers, cutting also energy-based objects." 5500 Credits [Maximum Per Frame: 1] [(1 system=10 emitters, one for every knuckle in both hands of the KF)] |
