The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor is equipped with a fail-safe detonation system. If a Spartan is killed or wounded fatally, or they are forced to shed the armor in the field, the self-destruct protocol will have to be enacted by either themselves or a nearby Spartan. This is done to avoid capture of the suit and/or the wearer for identification or technological study.[1]
Function[edit]
The tiny access panel at the back of the suit is opened to activate the protocol, it is activated by typing several digits only Spartans know. Once activated, a fifteen-second countdown timer starts. Once it hits zero, the suit's fusion reactor overloads and burns everything in its path in a ten-meter radius with a follow-up explosion to finish anything alive.[1]
Uses[edit]
- John-117 activated the fail-safe detonation system on Grace-093's suit after she was killed by a Brute in the Covenant resupply station Unyielding Hierophant.[1]
- Frederic-104's damaged and inert CENTURION-class Mjolnir suit's fail-safe detonation system was activated at the conclusion of Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE on Gao in order to prevent the armor from falling into enemy hands, destroying two low-flying Gao MV-29 Wyverns in the process.[2]
