As his wound opens up, you notice immediately that it almost seems like his blood is... sentient? It seems to be actively moving to repair itself, as if each unit of blood were part of something larger... Its oddly familar to that of a mound of worms all-moving in unison to consume a singular body; except instead of a body its working to patch itself back together. His vital fluids quickly mend the wound, suturing it before immediately clotting, and after a few days, the wound is no more.
Much like Batimir's La'chiar Leeches, his blood has gained near-sentience and the ability to move/fix his body at it's own accord. Given his blood's new sentience however, his blood is unable to act with such coordination / superhuman quickness if it is exposed to intense heat and/or flame.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than Fire or Intense Heat heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every three days, starting once it becomes stabilized.

The Tillnghast Resonator within the Viper prototype can charge darts with T radiation, allowing them to "slide" across extra-dimensional space. While this does involve a risk of T-Radiation to the environment, that concern was tabled for later development.
T Radiation can allow a single dart to carry greater payloads, arc over obstacles, ignore firing conditions in local dimensional space, & strike with unnatural accuracy, in part guided by the will imprint on the wielder.
Project Report: The Resonator is a wonder! We should be able to pull any defense contract we can find once they see the applications of the arm & it's cybernetic guidance system.
