Nodal Support Bits (NSB) are finger-sized self-recharging multi-function drone units under the Mindy AI's control. Launched by the Mindy power armor during combat, these bits (up to 12) will form a small cloud around their host Mindy and correlate targeting data. The NSBs are good for poking around corners and getting alternate points of view. They can also or act as countermeasures and even shoot at the enemy. The NSBs are nestled in rounded launcher module in the Mindy's lower back when attached.
