exobubble                 
                                          
       the exobubble is a prototype       
          exoskeleton created by          
  amata texnologiyasi's miltech company.  
 it's  mostly  marketed  as  a   strength 
  multiplier, for lifting heavy objects.  
                                          
                                          
         demo incident        
                                          
  during the first public demonstration   
     in twenty twentyfour, the pilot      
   bous anemoeitiai was severely injured  
    when demonstrating the exobubble's    
 ability  to withstand mortar  shells. it 
    successfully deteced the explosive    
 device  and automatically  folded into a 
      blast-resistant form; due to a      
  miscalibration of anemoeitiai's height, 
 his left arm and leg were crushed.  upon 
      unfolding after the explosion,      
 anemoeitiai  was  still conscious but in 
 severe shock. he  had suffered no damage 
        from the actual explosion.        
                                          
                                          
        muppet scandal        
                                          
  while anemoeitiai's contract did waive  
 all  claims for  damages due  to injury, 
 due  to the event being livestreamed and 
        the following pr blowback,        
  texnologiyasi promised top-of-the-world 
 care with prosthetics  or regrown limbs. 
        anemoeitiai was moved to a        
    texnologiyasi hospital, where was     
      withdrawn from the public eye.      
                                          
     in the hospital anemoeitiai was      
  provided with five sentient felt-like   
 creatures,  meant to  assist him  during 
   initial recovery. upon learning that   
 they could not disobey  his commands, he 
 started ordering them to  perform sexual 
 acts on him. a video of this was  leaked 
            by hospital staff.            
                                          
  the dent in texnologiyasi's reputation  
 due  to  the  exobubble malfunction  was 
 quickly  eclipsed by "the muppet video", 
 as    it    came     to    be    called. 
                                          
       the creatures were considered      
   bioweapons, and were destroyed. this   
 sparked   even  further   debate   about
