Ray Palmer | the A.T.O.M. Exosuit
Maybe this bonfire was going to be different than the last, but if anyone was interested in more show and tell or sharing and caring, Ray was ready this time. Last time, he hadn't been able to offer up any decent stories, because he was more enthralled in the stories that the others were telling. He'd gotten his A.T.O.M. exosuit, though, with the last haul the gods had dropped off in their camp and Ray was ready to talk someone's ear off about the exosuit. That was the one thing he was the most proud of creating in Palmer Tech labs.
When he was ready to speak, he opened the little carrying case inside which the miniaturized version of the suit was held. It stood only a few inches tall in the tiny case, surrounded in padding to keep it safe. "This is easily my biggest technological accomplishment. This...is the A.T.O.M. Exosuit. A.T.O.M. stands for Advanced Technology Operating Mechanism. The functioning components are made from dwarf star alloy which, back home, is a really rare substance I managed to get my hands on, luckily for me. So that makes the suit lightweight but strong. It's fitted with several different functions, the most notable of which are facial recognition software developed by a friend, Felicity Smoak, and of course, the nanotechnology.
"So...as you can see, this suit is...pretty small. Right?" he asked, holding it up in its case. To the casual viewer, it would look like an especially pampered action figure. But when he took it out, the simple press of a button had it expanding to full Ray-sized proportions, opening for him to put on. For the time being, he merely stood beside it, holding it upright with one hand. "But that's just the nanotechnology. So! Interestingly enough, the suit can actually shrink the space between atoms, even the wearer inside it. So what does that mean? Well...basically...I can shrink myself to approximately the size of a human white blood cell. I don't always have to go that small, but I can and I have — which is a story all its own.
"Anyway," he continued with a bright, proud smile, "the suit has lots of other functionality. It can fly, for one. It's also especially durable and can give a little increase in the strengh of the wearer. Largely that has a lot to do with kinetic energy; when the suit is in motion there's more force, and this is also true when it's in its shrunken state. It has weapons onboard, as well...is safe to use in a vacuum with no oxygen, for short periods of time...it also has a portable radiograph, oh! Oh! Oh wow, I actually forgot I had that, oh! Ha! That'll be useful for the medical center...huh." He looked distracted for a moment. "Sorry!" he almost shouted with realization before continuing. "Right, also it has an advanced computer system with a heads up display, which I like to call the HUD for short, on the face plate to keep me in the loop and it has a neutral link to it, which basically means that the suit can be controlled remotely. I used that once, before I learned to fight; I had a friend remote access the suit while I was wearing it to help me take down a bad guy," he said, smirking a little bit at the fact that he'd literally just been given a chance to say that he 'took down a bad guy.'
"Okay so...uhhh...questions? Oh! Duh," he laughed. "Does anyone want to see it in action?"
