A slight knocking came from the door as a muffeld voice called out.
"May i come in sir?" A female voice asked from behind the door and fell silent as she awaited an awnser.

Ender heard a knock on the door just then and faced away from ChibiSarafan to glance at the door before saying "Come in." The voice that came from the other side of the door sounded like the female mechanic's voice, the Knight who's name was Twixi he believed.

Opening the door she steped inside closing the door carfully to make sure it wouldnt make to much noise, walking up to his desc she refraind from siting down knowing she wasnt gona stay long enuf to make her self cumfy.
"I'v been spending most of my time lately siting outside the motor pool watching all the new recruites and the older once runing around and all the types of different armors. But what i'v noticed so far is desturbing... Most of our armors are built for flexability and only a few is made for protection att the cost of flex.. Like the power armor and the metal armor.. But what desturbs me is the Enviro armor is a good solid armor made for flex and being abble to wander around the wastes not having to worry about rad and posion... But it's very fradgile it's made outof Ancient tech supplyes that we dont have access to enymore so we can't duplicate the material.. So why don't we reinforce the Enviro armor with basic metal armor? Taking the Chest and key joint armor pads and applying them to the Enviro armor giving it good protection against balistic and air born chemicals? It will cost the wearer some flexability but it will most likely allow them to take a derect hit or two. Seeing how the enviro is mostly used by our scouts that need to be quick on there feet while some one who can att the cost of some speed exchange it for protection don't have sutch a wide veriety to choose from." She said as she tossed a folder containing two pappers one being the blue prints of the Enviro armor and the Metal armor key joints and how to apply them directly, and the second one being the costs of material and production time. As she folder hit the desc she took one quick step back and folder her arms behind her back and placed her prying eyes on his face that was covered by his helmet trying to penetrade the bullet proof yellow glass covering his eyes.

Ender listened as she threw the folder onto his desk and flipped through it casually before responding. "You do know that the environmental armor is the next best thing to the strength of power armor don't you? Able to take alot more hits than the metal armor and such, it does have metal reinforcement in the key areas that you noted. The only flaw in it's design is the pack on the back which supplies oxygen and whatnot, where it's vulnerable. But other than that, the chest and other areas that you mentioned is the same kind of metal pretty much. It's just not a almost cloth-like suit with a air breather or even thin metal at that. It'd be able to withstand a much higher caliber of weaponry than the metal armor any day and it does provide more flexibility than most of the other armors, except for leather armor, which provides the most due to it being made of leather pretty much. But I take it that your trying to improve something else on it beside the thickness of the metal?"

She listened to his argument befor smiling slightly as she responded.
"Well yes i'm well aware of the enviro's design after all i sport one my self,
The armor plating on the enviro is made outof the same anti balistic alloys as the power armor just in smaller amounts around key joints sutch as the chest and legs. But like you said the bigest flaw is the oxygen tanks wich are rather flamabel and has the tendency to go boom if some one shoots att em. But what i'm trying to say is the Enviromental armor's plating is rather thin att best and it can stop a good amount of bullets but it hurts like hell if you catch one in your chest as the metal gets dented and the plating gets weaker by every bullet you catch after a few bullets the plating is dented to sutch an extent that it gets bent and the bullets dont stop as they hit the platings but insted they slide through the sides where the platings are weak as they are made to take direct hits. Thats why the ancients bullet proof vests where made outof more then one armor shard so that the rest of the armor plateings wouldnt get weakend when the wearer catched a bullet. What i'm aiming for is comfort and streanght in the armor.. The metal armor isnt as bullet proof as the enviro but it weakens the bullet and often stops it from penetrating the initial armor underneath. The Power armor is built upon V formed chest to slide the bullets away so that they wouldnt penetrate the armor or att best dent it. What im aiming for is a reflective armor to be added upon the enviromental armor like the one the power armor has, To explain it further the Power armor is build upon 3 layers. The inner one is reinforced leather with bullet proof armor shards, the middle layer is armor plating made to withstand balistic weaponry sutch as rockets while the outer layer is the reflective armor made to weaken the bullets and withstand heat and energy based weapons but mostly to prevent bullets from penetrating the armor platings. I'm well aware of the costs to improve the Enviromental armor att best we would only be abble to afford better protection against bullets, upgrading it to the extent of it being abble to withstand balistics would only be stupid after all we have the power armor for that. But att the cost of a few of our Metal armor MKI's we could upgrade a few Enviromental armors by refiting the metal armor into a reflective shield with a little work then instaling it upon the Enviro armor's initial armor." She said as she took a deep breath and continued to stare att his glass eyes waiting for a respons.

Ender tapped his fingers on his desk, obviously either a bit excited or annoyed as he listened to her statements about the environmental armor and the difference between all of them. "Your points are made, but really, the metal armor not only dents or slows down the bullet, it weakens fairly quickly in a single area, it's not meant for heavy damage, only the ability to take a few shots in the chest before given out. Environmental armor is a high grade of metal and polymer, as we've both stated, the closest thing to power armor for people of not Paladin rank and above and more than the best out of all of the other armors. As you explained about the layering of the armors, I'm aware of what Power Armor does and Metal Armor is pure metal where if the bullets strike at an intense angle, they may deflect or richochet, but more often than not, it'll take the hit and either dent or the round will push through the metal, depending on the caliber of course. What your asking about the Environmental Armor is basically the same thing we have now, it has various layers of course, one underneath layer to make it airtight from airborne agents and radiation, then the outer protective ones, which is made of metal and polymers, just a cruder class than that of Power Armor and not alot of machine servo assistance. From Metal Armor and up the armors have the capability of deflecting shells shot at a extreme angle and say hitting a shoulder pad at an odd angle and pinging off. But more often than not, the armors take the impact and the environmental armor has the same reflective potential as it's counterparts, so you'd be wanting to increase the thickness of the armor pretty much, which would make the suit quite a bit heavier. Which the only flaws I see in it currently is the oxygen tanks and the helmet, along with the hoses going to the helmet and suit from the oxygen tank. So once again, my last question is still up for answering, is there anything else your trying to improve on besides the thickness of the armor plating?"

Quickly taking a seat she rubed her gloved hand across her face gently befor looking back up att the general with a slight look of dissapointment.
"Well the whole air thing isnt really my speciality but we could allways exchange the oxygen tanks for portable oxygen masks with air filters insted of the oxygen tank. Sure the air filters arent 100% protective agenst toxins but it helps the wearer move around alot easyer, the crude form of the armor itself could be reagusted but thats just a waste of time seeing how the armor is unisex and refiting them would mean making female and male units of the armor and that would just cost more.
Well other then that the only thing i could think of would be instaling spinal scale reinforcment plate if we change the oxygen tank for air filters, and maybe instaling leg implants and a servo holo screen in the helmet but those last two are just over expensive to make plus the holo screen is just a fancy name for a radio with a tv screen and the helmet allready has a radio built in if im not mistaken." She said as she leaned back staring upinto the sealing befor looking back att the general.

Ender leaned back in his black office chair, becoming in a more lighter and less serious mood, his gaze still stared straight at the Knight's face as she spoke and looked around, after she finished, he said "Hmm, yes, that'd solve the problem of the oxygen tanks, but would limit it to less radiated areas, but even still, the air filters would provide better protection than just breathing in open air and it would be beneficial. You may make a few suits with the air filters and with the spinal scale reinforcement plate where the oxygen tanks would be built in, so at least it'd give people the option of having oxygen tanks or oxygen filters with more protection on where the oxygen tanks would of been. Hmm, as for the other two things, not entirely needed as you said, the leg implants would bring about many more changes needed for the suit, like building in some of those rare power supplies that lasts hundreds of years and all of that good technical stuff. The holo screen for inside the suit, we don't exactly need to see the person we're talking to on the radio, perhaps it'd be good for some other combat reasons, but overall, not neccessary, not alot of the power armor suits have them for such reasons also, that their not exactly neccessary and a bit distracting in combat. But work on refitting the oxygen tanks and whatnot should be quite fine, really no expertise is needed for those kind of adjustments." Ender still kept his gaze on the Knight after he finished talking, interlacing his fingers due to having no where to put his hands at the moment.

She noded slightly in agreement realising the discusion was over as he leaned back on his chair.
"Yes sir i'll get on it as soon as possible." She replyed as she got back up on her feet and walked over to the door turning around and bowing slightly befor exiting the small building and closing the door behind her and dissapeard.

Ender watched Knight Twixi depart, he wondered how effective some of the environmental suits would be with air filters instead of the oxygen tanks supplying clean air to the user of the suit. Ender reached down and grabbed a pen out of a holder and jotted down on a little piece of pad some notes about the design and some of the flaws proposed by the night and put the note into his desk drawer as a reminder on the project and leaned back in his chair once again.

This note is due to my somewhat extended and unanounced leave of absence,
With Lacrosse season in full tilt pluss school, scouts and all that wonterfull stuff I've barely got time to s**t myself these days, mind you I've not forgotten the Brotherhood, I just simply been overly busy with the various aspects of life. On the other hand once summer rolls around I'll be back to sneakng around here more often again.
