grit.Mjolnir — Description
[left: optimized for backlit LCD, right: optimized for standard CRT-a bit washed, but details are visible-]

The Mjolnir unit is the business end of the two-man unit. Armed with a heavy lightning cannon the individual is capable of draining small charges from the power bricks for infantry deterrent and light equipment damage, or scale up to a full drain/charge for EMP'ing shielded targets or boring holes via slag into non-shielded armored units.

The suit itself is designed to resemble a BBQ apron or MLB Catcher's armor. The thick carbon plates adorning the front insulate the wearer from as much of the errant backlash as possible, while the fins found across the suit act to draw excess heat away from the soldiers core to keep them from cooking themselves alive.

The weapon (G-83 "gator") [seen here at 90degrees from standard orientation] loads fuel cell rounds into the compartment below the trigger handle. When the safety is switched off the lower jaw slides down and away along it's guided track, the central turbine begins to spin once standby mode is left, spilling errant charges in the process. Using the support handle throttle the user can adjust how much energy is being dumped from the cell into the turbine. Upon pulling the trigger an initial tracer bolt is fired 1 second prior to the main blast, allowing for any last minute aim adjustments to be made if any conductive obstacles are seen between the unit and the target. After that its all fun-time.

Depleted cell rounds manually eject themselves from the weapon, or partial cells may be manually ejected via the safety locks.
