====== Dual Grav Suit ======

{{:blog:dual_grav_suit.png|}}

Finally something cool for humans! This is a //dual grav suit//, which is powered armor designed for humans living on the //Split Horizon//. Its most notable feature is the caudal prosthesis, an artificial tail emerging from the middle of the suit's back (rather than the base of the spine as would be expected). It's meant to tether the center of mass to paw cables and tail bars designed for vulpithecine use. The //Dual Grav// name comes from the fact it's designed to be equally effective in zero G and the centrifugal gravity of the //Split Horizon//.

The caudal prosthesis works like an octopus tentacle. The human gives a small embedded AI general directions like “grab this” or “anchor me here” and the tail interprets the commands and takes care of the specifics.

The hand print on the pauldron is meant to evoke the red ochre hand prints left by stone age humans found in caves around the world.
