FOTUS-class Mjolnir: Difference between revisions

|hideb=}}

Fotus was created by [[343 Industries (manufacturer)|343 Industries]], by merging loose Forerunner technology and base Mjolnir architecture. It was originally forged at the RTC Facility before being transported to the Willows Complex for durability and survivability testing. At a later point it was tested at [[434 Combat Readiness Lab]] where it was tested extensively in Kirkland's overcast and frigid nine-month winter season.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

Before full production of the armor could start, engineers required that it meet COUGAR-class safety protocols in an effort to protect it against feral branches of wildlife. These protocols were met and Fotus armor sets were deployed.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

The Fotus Torque-node component had proven to represent a breakthrough in replicating [[Forerunner]] "[[baffler]]" sensor-distortion systems.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

After being deployed, Fotus was often used to acquire coffee at a variety of lightly secured sites, during the Kirkland's long seasons of wet, freezing cold weather.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/NoteReuse|Fotus}}

Fotus armor has proven invaluable in Seattle's corporate shadow-wars.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

*The piece descriptions in MCCs armory continue the Halo 4 version's references:

"Surprise assault by foam projectiles" in reference to the time-honored tradition of coders and software workers shooting each other with foam darts to let off steam

 

The "Seattle Freeze", a widely-held belief in the difficulty of making friends or acquaintances in the Seattle metropolitan area

 

The original factory being "gone, but not forgotten" in reference to 343 Industries moving from their original building to a new one around the time MCC was rolling out

 

And callbacks to both Kirkland, cougars, and coffee.  

 

*Geographically, 343 Industries (and Microsoft itself) is officially located in Redmond, Washington, rather than Kirkland. The distance between them is effectively negligible.
