Membrane Suit

FALL.TECH.MEMBRANE-SUIT One important personal technology is an expanding membrane bodysuit. In functioning atmospheric conditions, it can inflate specialized chambers, alter drag, stabilize descent, provide limited buoyancy control, and interact with different atmospheric layers. The suit becomes narratively important because its dominant technology fails in the Desert. Magnetic particulate in the sand interferes with the gases inside the buoyancy chambers. The character who appears technologically superior elsewhere becomes physically vulnerable in the polar region. PART IV - Tribes, Economy, and Power CULTURE / LABOR / GOVERNANCE
