RIG Metal Armor

To contribute to human evolution?

Upon hearing this, the audience frowned in unison, not understanding what it meant.

How did a survival horror game suddenly get involved with such a crazy scientific topic as human evolution?

Could it be that...

Is the plot of Dead Space more than just fighting monsters and surviving?

Is there something the development team wants to explore in the game?

At this moment, on the stage.

After the captain finished speaking, all the lights went out again, returning the darkness to its original state, and everything became quiet.

Seeing this, the audience understood that the story had come to an end.

And then, another story begins.

It's just a matter of how things will develop so that the protagonist, Vinson, matches up with the screen recording at the beginning.

So, just as everyone was looking forward to the next part of the story, the blonde Vinson's disheveled appearance reappeared on the large screen that was as wide as the wall.

She was slumped over the recording screen, looking utterly dejected.

He no longer had the stern expression he had at the beginning.

Clearly, something was causing her mental state to decline rapidly.

On the screen, she struggled to sit up and took a deep breath. Then she wiped her sweat and stared at the crowd.

[Human evolution.]

She shook her head, a pale smile that defied description appearing on her face.

I should have known.

[Only a cult like the Truth Cult could utter such a statement.]

[The captain of the Seonggok is actually a member of the Truth Cult. What a follower!]

That explains why we traveled thousands of miles to the Aegis Galaxy, millions of light-years away, to mine.

[Because the purpose is to use mining as a pretext to reclaim the Divine Seal here.]

After saying that, the blonde woman gave a wry smile.

I don't know why there would be Divine Seal on a galaxy millions of light-years away from Blue Star.

[But it's clear that, whether at the mining site or on the Seonggok, all the danger and death began after the discovery of this Divine Seal.]

[What exactly is the Divine Seal? I don't know, but Captain, you can definitely give me an answer.]

As soon as the blonde woman finished speaking, the image on the big screen gradually faded away, and she disappeared along with it.

Snap—

The light shone directly on us, suddenly.

The center of the stage was illuminated by a spotlight.

There was a workbench there, a workbench with a holographic electronic screen.

Standing in front of him was the blonde woman, Vinson.

The audience noticed through the magnified close-up on the screen that she reached out and entered a complex password on the holographic screen.

The next second, the holographic screen indicated that the verification was successful, and then suddenly disappeared.

The workbench split open on the left and right as if a mechanism had been triggered, and slowly moved away.

Then, a shelf inside slowly rose up. On it was an arm armor device of unknown purpose.

At this moment, the blonde woman's voice slowly began to narrate through the entire venue's speakers.

The road to the bridge is not safe; it is fraught with danger.

[I have no weapons, no protection, and insufficient stamina; my condition is very poor. This makes it impossible for me to reach the bridge.]

[But I need to know what the captain is hiding. And I know these believers won't explain.]

Therefore, I need to be armed.

On stage, the blonde Vinson picked up the arm armor and put it on her left wrist.

With a soft click, the device settled firmly against the arm.

The audience frowned again, each one filled with curiosity, wanting to know what it was used for.

Some speculated that it was a weapon because it was worn on the wrist.

Some speculate that it's some kind of adrenaline hormone that makes people energetic.

Some people speculated that it might be something like a shield, after all, this is an advanced sci-fi Horror Games.

But the next second, they were all stunned.

On stage, the blonde woman Vinson calmly operated the mechanical arm armor, inputting commands.

Immediately, a deep blue light flowed from it. As if it had been activated, the audience involuntarily widened their eyes.

Then, with a deep look in her eyes, she took off her coat and trousers, revealing a black bodysuit underneath.

Her graceful figure and sexy curves immediately made the audience's eyes widen!

The overly realistic virtual 3D characters blurred the lines between reality and fiction at this moment. The blonde Vinson's proud figure and ample bosom gave the audience a touch of pink allure amidst the bloodshed.

Some even started whistling.

Just as everyone was getting more and more excited about what would happen next, a shocking and surprising scene unfolded before them!

"Security Chief Alyssa Vinson."

"RIG Startup"

A flat and indifferent voice slowly came from the blonde woman, Vinson.

At the same time, melodious and ethereal music filled the venue, evoking a sense of deep emotion.

It seemed as if some life-altering, momentous event was about to occur.

The next second, as if receiving some kind of command, the mechanical gauntlet on Vinson's left hand suddenly loosened, and pieces of metal emerged from it, sticking tightly to his arm.

Without slowing down, the metal sheet traveled upwards and covered the entire left arm at an extremely fast speed!

The audience was stunned by this scene, their eyes wide with disbelief. They now understood what the mechanical device was.

That was actually

Technological armor!

On the stage, the metal plate continued to extend, covering the shoulders and leaving behind circular shoulder armor.

It didn't go past her impressive bust, leaving behind a solid breastplate.

Then, following the natural flow, it appeared in layers, covering the legs and revealing leg armor and thick boots.

Then, the blonde woman slightly raised her head.

Instantly, layers of metal armor appeared, starting from the neck and working upwards.

The stern-looking mask quickly covered her tightly pursed lips and obscured her deep gaze.

Blue light flowed, and a dazzling light pierced across the area of the eye on the mask, leaving two fluorescent light strips for vision.

Finally, the moment the head was completely encased in metal, a flash of azure Shuo Guang appeared in the eyes of the visor, indicating that the outfit was complete and the function was activated!

At that moment, the ethereal music abruptly stopped.

The exhibition was completely silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the streamlined silver armor standing in the center of the stage.

Its entire surface was matte and dull, radiating an emotionless, metallic coldness.

His body was surrounded by layers of machinery, giving him a menacing appearance.

Especially the faceplate, which served as a fluorescent blue band around the eyes, revealing no expression. Yet, it exuded an understated arrogance, like a seasoned battlefield god of war!

The audience members all swallowed hard.

They never expected that what the captain ultimately received was neither a weapon of mass destruction nor a bomb or grenade.

Instead, it's this kind of mechanical armor that can excite men just by looking at it!

Ask any man in the world, who doesn't dream of wearing armor? Who doesn't wish to wear battle armor?

For the sake of this dream, even the technological exoskeletons in those war games have become something that men love to own.

But now, they never expected this.

This armor design that men yearn for is actually seen in a Horror Games!

Absolutely astonishing!

They were immediately excited.

"Hey guys who played the demo, I want to ask, does this armor actually exist in the game?"

"WTF! These special effects are unbelievable! I want to play this game, I definitely want to buy it!"

"Special effects? No! I'm more concerned about whether this armor will actually appear in the game! Because I didn't see it in the PC demo at all!"

"What? This armor isn't in the game? Then why is this scene in the performance below?"

"It's impossible for it not to exist; it's just that the demo didn't show it. But this is truly astonishing. I originally thought it was just a survival Horror Games... I never expected it to have this kind of setting..."

"I also think there must be such armor in the game, because it looks so cool! But I have to confirm with the development team, because I really want to experience what it's like to wear the armor in the game, it must be amazing!"

"This is a complete dream come true! I've always dreamed of playing a game where I can wear futuristic armor!"

"What purpose or function does this armor have? It can't just be for looks, right?"

"Why are you all so excited about this armor? There's a storyline in the game ' Control Failure ' where you wear armor, right? It's quite powerful, it can make you invisible, but it doesn't feel that great."

"I don't think this armor will appear in the game. If I remember correctly, this game is VR, right? It probably won't appear in the game because even if it does, we won't be able to see it while playing, so it would be meaningless."

"Hey buddy, this game has a PC version. You can try it out over there at the booth. And I also asked around, and this game will be released on all platforms, and it's a TPS (third-person shooter). This means that besides VR, we'll have even more opportunities to see the game's protagonist surviving while wearing this armor."

"I see, I think I understand now. This might be a business plan. The VR version mainly focuses on experiencing the game's horror atmosphere. Once it's released on other platforms, people who have already played it might not find it as novel. But the development team changed the game on other platforms to a third-person perspective, which is quite different from the VR version. When more armor sets are released, I think players on other platforms will replay the game just for the armor."

"From this perspective, those who want an immersive experience will play the VR version, while those who want to experience the feeling of wearing armor will play the pure PC and console versions. The development team has really taken into account the experience of players on different platforms. I just don't know if the price will be uniform."

While the audience was discussing, Vinson, who was already dressed, slowly turned around on stage.

At this moment, the people present noticed that there was a light tube stuck in her spine.

However, this light tube is yellow and only half of it is on.

Based on past experience, the audience believed that this was likely the armor's own power source.

Because many games work like this: a car needs gasoline to run, and a spaceship needs electricity to move.

This is a standard setting that has never changed in the gaming industry.

So this armor should be like that too, but I wonder which is better, the armor you get from the corpse in the main story of Control Failure or the armor you get from the corpse?

Just as the audience was speculating, a sudden roar interrupted their wild thoughts.

On the stage, several terrifying monsters slowly emerged from the dimly lit area that was originally not illuminated by the lights.

They brandished their scythes, grinning and growling.

Thick, sticky, bloody saliva dripped straight down.

Vinson, wearing armor, slightly raised his head. He turned around, reached out, and took a small industrial cutter from the repair table next to the tool bench.

This tool, when held in the hand, is slightly larger than a regular gun and looks very easy to handle.

Vinson then lifted it up to inspect it and turned on the switch.

Immediately, the cutting machine also started to light up and operate.

Seeing that everything was intact, Vinson looked up at the monsters in the shadows.

"No more military weapons"

The silver-armored man silently raised his cutting tools and walked towards the horde of corpses.

Her actions, like firing a gun, provoked the monsters, causing them to swarm forward with strange cries.

The lights went out again the next second.

The large screen no longer displays any images.

There was no bloody fighting, nor any horrifying scene.

Yes, it was just a low voice that echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Use Plasma Cutter instead."

Suddenly, in the dim light, a series of loud bangs mixed with the sound of electricity rang out.

And obvious limb fractures and hoarse screams.

Forgive me for including my own bias; I changed the armor in the original game to fully automatic metal armor. There's only one chapter left; the story after finding the captain in the next chapter will be finished.
