[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [QB] This is along the lines of what I was thinking. i know it's non cannon, but it seems sound. From Rigil Kent's "Endeavour": Vigrid [He�d been shot, that much was clear, and the reflec-mesh he wore under the modified tac-vest had saved his life once more. Called a 'twinkle suit' by some more vocal detractors for its distinctive appearance, the mesh was made up of thousands of tiny lenses atop a flexible underlay and immediately brought to mind an obnoxiously sequined shirt. The lenses were meant to absorb and disperse the lethal power of most particle beams, while the underlay was designed to reflect the killing heat of such an attack. Against blunt trauma such as a physical blow or slugthrower, however, the twinkle suit was worse than useless as the shattered lens fragments often became embedded in flesh wounds. MACO black ops had been experimenting with the twinkle suits for several years, but the prohibitively high price tag and the difficulty in maintaining them meant mass production was unlikely.] It makes sense to me, but I'm probably missing a big and obvious piece of the puzzle [/QB][/QUOTE]
