@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_HeadsUpDisp
This is a military issue Heads Up Display program, which tracks vital signs,
munitions, armor status, and more with numeric signifiers.

Originally designed by a former video game designer, a great amount of effort
had to be put into fine-tuning this program to tell you exactly when you're
about to die, your armor is about to break and get you killed, or you're about
to run out of ammunition, and then die.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_JetBooster
These are standard jet boots produced by OFMD, upgraded for private use. They
have a safety lock which deactivates while the user is mid-air so they don't
backfire and burn your heels. Keeps the user smoothly held in air with a
stabilizer chassis attached to the leg, so your natural instinct to screw it
up is cancelled out.

Powered with a small energy cell about the size of your Calcaneus that can
stay stable mid-air for approximately 7 months without fail.

Press "run" while mid-air to activate.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_ReflexWetw
Software for your Computer/Brain Interface that improves your ability to move,
enhancing your speed, and giving you new movement options.

This software has been deemed vital to your mission, and has been provided to
you with yet more upgrades.

You can jump while mid-air by pressing "jump" again, hurtling your body
upwards with sheer force.

You can also now slide in any direction with ease by pressing "run".

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_CyberLegs
An update for your reflex wetware developed while you were being deployed on
your mission. Improves your jump height and speed.

Also grants you a new ability: While you're falling, your legs will
automatically extend in a fashion that attacks anything below it. The higher
the fall, the greater the impact.

Couldn't be deployed initially to you due to complications in shipping to a
combat zone.

== LITH_TXT_INFO_TITLE_Yh0 | Yh-0 Reactive Plating System
@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_Yh0
Developed by avians of the planet Durla Prime, this armor plating is able to
mitigate damage of one type almost completely for an indefinite amount of time.

This plating uses a set of unique systems that can each block one kind of
attack with extreme prejudice, but due to allowing full control of the
plating to each system, can only use one at a time.

Works over your currently equipped armor, so damage from even rockets may be
lowered into what feels like a small tickle.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_DefenseNuke
An extremely deadly slow-charge bomb that activates as you enter a dangerous
area.

Unfortunately, due to this weapon being extravagantly loud, anything in the
area will also be alerted to your presence. Be careful with this thing!

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_Adrenaline
A rather brute upgrade that gathers wasted adrenaline from your body and
injects it back into you all at once when you're in danger.

This gives the effect of time stopping for a moment as you move with extreme
swiftness, triggered by proximity to projectiles and being targeted by enemies.

Using this without going insane or otherwise passing out requires intense
training given only to military forces.

A small nanomachine emitter is strapped to your belt, which fires out nanos
programmed to grab vital signs of enemies under your crosshair, and display
them in a numeric value on your heads up display.

Unfortunately, the range of this emitter is not as great as it could be, and
is for the most part only usable in close-quarters.

A rather small robot that can fit in your backpack, which uses a learning
algorithm to figure out how to load your guns.

Originally created by HLCorp for their highly advanced hazard suits, it was
retooled to work separately from them so it could be mass produced for
military needs.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_SoulCleaver
The 44th method of the \chCaeruleum\c- mode, this rather complex attack must
be applied passively. It siphons power from the recently deceased and releases
it into a ball of metaphysical attack energy.

The exact origin of this method is debated, and it is not in common use due to
its strange circumstances and the general requirement of strong, plentiful
opponents to be useful in combat.

An active light reflection system, using advanced camouflage developed years
ago in \cm[redacted]\c- by the inhabitants of the planet. While the original
version required a link with \cm[redacted]\c- in order to function (as the
natives could easily do so,) this version, which was developed by Deceiver
Solomon, requires only an energy source.

A small device reminiscent of a landmine which attaches to a chestplate,
pauldron or shoulder pad, which uses an unknown \ckFlavum\c- mode spell that
captures energy from the dead and dying.

Using this method, it uses hostility detection to find potential sources of
mana, and upon that source losing metaphysical structure, siphons all mana
from it with approximately 73.416% efficiency.

Software for your Computer/Brain Interface that improves your ability to move,
enhancing your speed, and giving you new movement options.

Newer versions of this program have a backdoor built into them. This old
version was given to you by Spellcaster and Deceiver Michael as part of your
mission. The binary credits have been overwritten with "CrAcKeD bY mEt&".

You can jump while mid-air by pressing "jump" again, hurtling your body

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_WeapnInter
The Weapon Interfacing Device Package (or simply Weapon Interface) is a small,
silver briefcase with several components inside it all purpose built for
modifying any kind of weaponry with extreme ease; In fact, it is built to
completely disassemble, install upgrades into, and reassemble a weapon in under
20 seconds.

The package was created approximately 30 years ago by researchers at OFMD and
AllPoint. Them both seeing the potential sales figures for such a device during
a great war, OFMD and AllPoint signed a mutual contract to develop the package
and share profits between eachother.

The success of this device was massive, despite how expensive it is, with its
prices being barred by a "call us to get the numbers."

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_WeapnInte2
Despite the idea being similar to the Weapon Interfacing Device Package, the
Weapon Refactoring Device was conceptualized and prototyped over 40 years
before the Weapon Interface was created.

The Weapon Refactoring Device is a large, dense, black suitcase with the
letters "WRD" on the front. Inside is a gigantic, see-through box filled with
indescribable amounts of strange looking wires, tubes, chips, boards and
markings in some foreign language you can't read.

This device is capable of completely assembling any weapon given parts and any
amount of schematics, using computational learning algorithms and a large
database of possible configurations.

The Armor Interface is a rather large yet thin, silver set of pauldrons and
chestplate that attaches onto one's body and can be worn under any kind of
conventional armor.

It comes equipped with several million nerve-like sensors capable of detecting
damage to the user and their extremeties, as well as what kind of damage was
taken.

Using these, it has the capability for (but is not installed in its default
configuration with) methods of damage mitigation, such as secreting
flame-retardant liquid when fire damage is detected.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_CBIUpgr1
A huge upgrade from your dinky Nodea 541 CPU, the Z6808 is capable of up to
30Pr (when overclocked) and has 100TiB of RAM. In most cases, it's completely
overly sufficient for any mathmetician or cybernetics junkie.

However, the Z6808 is unfortunately yet insufficient for heavily augmented
military use, and is deployed to you only as a temporary measure so you can
later acquire a more comfortable BC-0265 CPU.

The unit houses 2048 physical cores and two billion hybrid synapses, giving
it a very solid feel and plenty of physical working memory.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_CBIUpgr2
The BC-0265 is a marvel of modular C/B Interface technology, not bigger than
any standard CPU and capable of so, so much more. It comes equipped with
150TiB of RAM, 70Pr without any dangerous overclocking, and 4906 physical
cores.

Developed solely for military use, the BC-0265 has gone through vigorous field
testing and many trials, and now you wield the result of those efforts.

Despite only having 3 billion neurons, not much more than high-grade CPUs,
the quality of each is much higher, being able to withstand much more precise
data transfer through high density synapses and storage in each cell.
