An evolution born from necessity and hard-won wisdom, the Explorer Extraordinaire Exodus suit (or EEE, for short) is a fully integrated isolation suit ingeniously hidden within the architecture of the Chromatic Nexus. Seamlessly deployed from subdermal matrices, the suit envelops Jessica in a smooth, ergonomic shell resembling a spacefaring explorer’s uniform—sleek and form-fitting.
Flash-gold visor down, magnetic boots locked, and every joint encased in endoskeletal comfort, the Exodus is pure mastery in synth and style. Reactive fingertips shift to any control scheme; tool holsters, toggled spotlights, and crystalline-filament accents make every utility a flourish. Sensors and internal HUDs maintain constant readouts on both the outside world and Jessica’s own biosigns, all without breaking her stride.
It offers protection against exposure as a fully self-contained suit e.g ''astronaut suit''. Due to it's specialized design and bulk, it has the statistics of a suit of full plate: an Armor rating of 4, a mobility penalty of 2 and contributes 45 pounds to encumberance.
