Lacrim has some time to kill. He'd head to the workshop Bana had set up on Name and knock. Wearing his full uniform as usual. He had fully repaired his suit since the siege of new planet Plant, but he felt it's multi plating system was flawed to crumble so easily when faced with biological dermal blades. Perhaps Bana would have some advice or ideas.
"Bana Smoothie, it is General Lacrim."

Bana was working on the metal plating of his own suit when the knock came. Though he was working on ensuring that the plates remained flexible enough to move comfortably as he moved rather than pure durability. Hearing who was at the door however he immediately turned his torch off and rushed to the door to open it for the General. Snapping to attention as soon as the General was visible.
"Please come in Sir. To what do I owe this honor?"

Lacrim would enter and take a look around before giving a quick salute for Bana.
"Please for this visit act plainly. I came to pick your brain. See if you might have any ideas or advice on my armor."

He relaxed immediately when the salute was returned and he was instructed to act plainly. Nodding to the General he made his way to the bench, moving his stuff off to the side. His own improvements could wait for the moment.
"What were you looking to improve?"
He'd motion to either have the General put it on or put it on his bench. Whichever he preferred.

He'd move to follow before removing his cape and laying it ceremonially on the bench before activating his armor. He would leave the helmet off for now and speak.
"During the invasion operation for Staging Area Alpha the local race had a king of biological dermal blade on the ends of their tails. The piercing effects of the blades seemed to dig right into my plates like they were barely even there."

He watched as the general activated his suit, listening to him recount his tale of the retaking of the planet. Or specifically about the abilities of the native life there. He had heard about it, but hadn't witnessed it up close himself. He wasn't part of that particular fight.
"Did it pierce the armor itself or slide between the plating?"
Important questions to determine how to move forward. As he awaited an answer he'd walk around the General inspecting the suit before reaching to his table to start scanning it. Energy output mostly for now.

Bana would be able to get a full read out of its base energy output as Lacrimal would think back to the encounter.
"It pierced the plates. Almost like it was just hard flesh. My current multi plating layers allowed me to take more than others, but it's costly and heavy."

"Hmmmm."
Well that made things problematic.
"We could just further reinforce the armor. However that would reduce your mobility."
He'd say as he placed the scanned down before grabbing a screwdriver which he'd proceed to start tapping on Lacrim's armor with. Listening to the sound in various areas to get an idea of how thick it was around the vitals and the joints.
"I assume you wish to retain mobility over raw defensive protection?"
One never knew for certain. Every soldier had different tastes in how they fought, and what to prioritize.

Bana would find the layering around vitals were pretty standard, but joints were protected by some plating and the carbon mesh suit and shock gel under the plating. Meant to protect from impact trauma and plasma burning.
All in all it maximized protection, but emphasized agility and mobility over being a tank.
"I would rather be able to move around the battle field. I was thinking about some sort of static pulse system to increase defense against general physical combat, do you think it could be specially outfitted with a reactionary AI system to use stronger smaller pulses to react to piercing attacks?"

"Shielding was along the lines of thinking that my brain was going. If your power supply can handle it I think we could probably outfit something along those lines."
The AI program would probably be the harder part to set up and program. It wouldn't be a true AI of course, but it needed to be able to react and predict where damage was going to be inflicted based on what was going on and previously acquired data.
"What kind of time table are you looking at?"

"I have no specific time table. Though we can't assume we won't run into problems like this again. I've read some gene mixing between Saiyans and Arkosians can mutate a tail with a blade."
Lacrim would take a breath thinking about trouble if the enemy races ever began mixing.
"Mmm maybe a combat situation would be a better test for you to get an idea on my suits failings."

"Well, I'm sure that my suit's current capability won't stand up to yours. But seeing it in live combat could be useful to determine it's capabilities."
Few Tuffle's could stand up to him and his suit, he was the General for a reason. But there was no substitute for seeing it in action and getting scans of it's structural integrity and power fluctuation.

Lacrim gave a thoughtful hum for a second before nodding.
"I'll lend you one of my power cells. It will lower my reserve output, but should jump your suit high enough to get some good data."
Lacrims breast plate would open and he would remove a blue orb from the left side. He would close the plate and hand the orb to bana.

Pressing a hand to his chest he'd activate his own suit. The metal and fibers shifting over his body until he was fully armored up. Opening up the compartment in his chest where his power cores were stored before reaching out to gently take the spare one that Lacrim was offering him.
Gingerly placing the orb in his spare slot. His sensors and readouts exploding as his suit took in the new data of it's current performance optimizations. Swiping his left hand outward to pull up the Holographic display he'd update the suit's parameters to go with his current power output.

"Lead the way"
Lacrim would follow Bana to this wasteland he spoke of. He wondered how many battles would wage in such places in days to come.
