The helmet also features extended awareness conduits (ALK-03) which heightens mobility around senior operatives and moving-equipment personnel.

==Development history==
===Development history===
Fotus was created by [[343 Industries (manufacturer)|343 Industries]], by merging loose Forerunner technology and base Mjolnir architecture. It was originally forged at the RTC Facility before being transported to the Willows Complex for durability and survivability testing. At a later point it was tested at [[434 Combat Readiness Lab]] where it was tested extensively in Kirkland's overcast and frigid nine-month winter season.<ref name="H4EVG"/><ref name="Fotus" group="note"/>

Before full production of the armor could start, engineers required that it meet COUGAR-class safety protocols in an effort to protect it against feral branches of wildlife. These protocols were met and Fotus armor sets were deployed.<ref name="H4EVG"/><ref name="Fotus" group="note"/>

*The piece descriptions in MCCs armory continue the ''Halo 4'' version's references:
**"Surprise assault by foam projectiles" in reference to the time-honored tradition of coders and software workers shooting each other with foam darts to let off steam
**The "Seattle Freeze", a widely-held belief in the difficulty of making friends or acquaintances in the Seattle metropolitan area.
**The original factory being "gone, but not forgotten" in reference to 343 Industries moving from their original building to a new one around the time MCC was rolling out.
**Callbacks to both Kirkland, cougars, and coffee.
**Geographically, 343 Industries (and Microsoft itself) is officially located in Redmond, Washington, rather than Kirkland. The distance between them is effectively negligible.
