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      withdrawn from the public eye.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
