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      withdrawn from the public eye.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
