This was developed as a way to quickly and easily adapt abnormal or newer designs onto a standard PA system. It was set up to make it quick and easy to connect and disconnect different systems, granting a degree of versatility to the unit using it.
This product would allow for quick and easy adaptation of armors to the specific needs of a situation, such as attaching extra or more powerful sensors for search and rescue, or increased tactical data gathering for commanders in the field.
It is a fairly small package, made out of durandium, fairly rectangular in shape. It has seven LED lights near the top end of it, one which indicates a good connection to the armor, and the others that indicate a good connection to the external hardware. Below the lights are two adapter sockets, with two more on either side of the box. The entire thing is low profile, just large enough to accommodate the circuitry and the plugs.
Kumiko developed this in her spare time, after having problems with a non-standard sensor system during a routine mission. She figured that this might not be the only time that she would have such problems, and that it would be useful in the future to have a kind of ‘adapter’ to facilitate use of new systems. Then she figured that there might be some point where it might be useful for others as well, and possibly in different situations, so she broadened her idea out to make it a more general application.
