The helmet also features extended awareness conduits (ALK-03) which heightens mobility around senior operatives and moving-equipment personnel. The visor has lodged-tracking component 793-VF for improved survivability and maintenance. The chest has 90-RZ java-fuel monitoring software which evaluates current sustainability levels.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Fotus|Fotus throughout this source continues the joke of "acquiring coffee."
