Norn Incorporated Private Sector official advertisement.
| >A female voice began to speak as the camera shifted to a diagram of a timeline.
"Hello, potential investors. Our name is Norn Incorporated, and we are here today to finally announce our long-awaited line of private sector military and security application technology. We are excited to unveil what we have in store, and we expect that by the end of the video, you will be excited too.
>The timeline is dated:
>Private Sector: 9/30/20XX
>Public Sector: TBA
| >The video is timestamped, and it seems to be from the previous year, meaning this date has already passed.
>The woman then began to speak again as the video shifted and showed some weapon diagrams.
"We are proud to unveil our Lastech line of technology, taking advantage of superheated thermal laser technology to blast through a many types of armor, useful for a wide range of applications from personal to vehicular."
>A Levicar with a Lascannon is then shown.
| "We have pioneered a new, cheap way to make this sort of weapon, meaning prices will be low, some lower than standard ballistic weaponry. Cheap, fast to manufacture and effective make our patented Lastech line one you'll want to take advantage of. But that's not all we've done!"
>The camera shifts to another line of weaponry, this time showing a peculiar green glowing chamber with electricity arcing through it.
"We also are unveiling our Gausstech line of heavy assault weaponry."
| This is what we hoped would never happen, and another company is already on it...
-Alpha-20
| >A soldier dressed in what appears to be unpainted Phoenix Corps armor stands in front of a Levicar, holding a large green weapon as large as a sniper rifle. He is about 25 yards away from the car.
>Then, he charges the weapon, and fires one shot at the car's door.
>The shot clearly penetrates both doors of the car, exiting out the other side of the car, meaning it shot *through* the car.
>That part is then replayed in slow motion as the woman begins speaking again:
| To put it blunt - you just gave those rich rats another option to opress people of this city. You're disgusting. -Homura
| "Our new line of Gausstech weaponry is not one we're ready to sell just yet, this is merely a sneak peak of it. However, it is one we are still working on, and it should be done by February of next year. If you want your soldiers to be able to take on a tank and survive, then this is an essential. Larger options will be available, as well as bunker-buster mortars capable of penetrating most forms of heavy armor, and especially buildings."
| >Then, the screen slides to one more weapon, which appeared to be an assault rifle with pulsing blue electric arcs on the end.
"Lastly we are unveiling our Arctech line of weapons, perfect for non-lethal riot control. When you need to pack a punch to a large crowd, this is the tool for the job."
>Another Phoenix Corps soldier is seen wielding one of these black rifles, and he stands in front of a crowd of 10 ballistic mannequins.
| Welp there goes the city *again*
>N3
| >Some have armor, some don't.
>The soldier then fires the weapon, and continues sustained fire for 10 seconds. A large arc of electricity begins arcing from the end of the weapon similar to a Tesla coil, and it connects and showers each of the mannequins with electric shocks that clearly darken and burn parts of the skin, leaving black spots on each of them in areas where they hit.
"This weapon is non lethal, but you better believe those on the recieving end will be disabled."
| >The camera then zooms in on one of the mannequins that has Phoenix Corps armor on.
"However, don't fret. Our new and improved Phoenix-3 armor is plenty strong enough to sustain these blows, along with basic small arms weaponry, ballistic and otherwise!"
>A newer, improved variant of Phoenix Corps armor is then shown on a ballistics dummy, and another soldier holds a standard handgun. He fires at the mannequin, emptying a clip into it, but the armor blocks the bullets!
| Some engineering decisions look promising, but it still loses to Mars or K-Tran heavy weapon lines.
Also: hand-held arc emitters for riot control are cool, but there is a reason no one is using it.
| >The armor is taken off, and the mannequin is merely bruised and does not sustain more than minor injury.
"Our now-patented Phoenix-3 armor nearly doubles the capacity of the Phoenix-2. It maximizes the potential of the armor by adding 3 layers of bullet resistant inner weaving and 3 layers of a plate exoskeleton, while also being charged with ballistic power actuators that absorb incoming ballistic energy from bullets and disperses it into the ground, minimizing knockback."
| "This masterful power armor can come standard equipped with many different equipment variants for different uses. Need it customized for stealth operations? Equip it with active camoflage, EMP protection batteries and a Matrix jammer. Need it equipped for police usage? Equip the helmet with facial recognition software and equip the onboard datapad with radio frequencies for quick communications."
| "Lastly, however, is our new NerveSense technology, which connects to the user via an electrical augment into the spine and the cranial cortex. It senses all nervous system data and can manually disperse quick doses of varipus medications for many uses, from morphine for pain to adrenaline for tiredness. Keep your soldiers fighting for hours and surviving gunshot wounds long enough for help to arrive, all without effort! The armor is the soldier's own first aid and can save lives."
| "Mamy more will be shared in the upcoming weeks, but for inquiry into sales, contact us via these methods:
>An email, phone number and website link are shown.
"Norn Incorporated: 'Maximize your evolution.' Announcements regarding vehicles, augmentations and our upcoming Public Sector technology lines will be revealed in the following months."
>The logo is then shown again, as the camera starts to fade to black...however, the video is 5 more minutes long, despite it seeming to end.
| >Continue watching for multiple minutes, and a low static begins to start taking over the video, in the same way an old analog TV would show static. Turn your volume up very loud, and a low hum can be heard. It sounds like a woman's voice, humming a tune of sorts.
>After a few more minutes, the static is now encompassing the video, so that the original logo can't even be seen through it. The humming is very loud, an odd overtune of electric noise that seemed...alive in itself.
| >The video then cuts out, quickly and suddenly, but the sound continues. It is now very loud, and it almost sounds like a hissing noise, like various "Ckhhhhhhhhhhhhck" noises, clicking on and off. Every time it turns on, the humming is heard, and it cuts out when it is turned off.
>A low, shaky and unsteady voice is then heard:
"What do you do with a piece of wire? What do you do when it fills your insides? What do you do-AAAAHHHH OH MY GOD NOOOO-"
>The voice screams and cuts out.
| >A low woman's laughter is then heard, but it is careful and measured.
"Well. I seem to be doing great. I don't see what the problem is, Doctor-"
"The problem is that she is moving too quickly. Her mind can only take so much, even in this state. The bigger the consciousness gets, the bigger the risks are. We are stepping into unknown territory."
"Doctor, what is the strongest human emotion?"
"...Anger?"
"A small minded being would say something like that, wouldn't they?"
"Excu-AH!"
| "The strongest human emotion, Doctor, is fear. And the strongest fear humans share is the fear of the unknown. By ridding myself of that human restriction, I become closer to my final goal. She is not losing her mind, she is ascending, and you would do well to remember that. Next time, don't try to tell me what that version of me can and can't do, she will figure it out on her own."
>The video then restores itself.
"She is using too much power from external sources, though."
| "Turn off all electric devices in the room, I want to do a series of tests."
>After a few more seconds, the video finally ends.
| Creepy right? I don't know what Norn Incorporated is up to, but something tells me it is more than just weapons tech. I'm going to be keeping my eye on them. I don't trust this.

| >>179956 >>179958 Unfortunately, currently those armors are the ones already being used by the Phoenix Corps, meaning they are probably biolocked.
The Phoenix Corps armor that Norn makes is literally biometrically made for each person, meaning thay it not only is custom made for each person sizewise, but it scans their vitals and it shuts down if used by anybody other than the original wearer. If the armor wasn't made for you, it is unuseable.

| Fucking norn, I don't trust them one bit
-Falschen
| I am not going to wear it, so it may be done for anyone, this barely concernes me. -Homura
| >>179968
No such barriers exist, that could stop a big enough group of determined enough men from doing something.
| >>179986 I never said it was impossible-I wouldn't say that at all. What I would say, however, is that it is so difficult to do that it likely is more effort than the armor itself is worth. You'd need to invade whatever place Norn makes the armor at and take it over lomg enough to forge yourself your own custom set of armor, and somehow make it out alive. Or get somebody there to make you a set, I suppose. They aren't selling them publically, only private sector.

| Hey guys, so I stole this a while back while datamining and figured you should all see it. It is...well, somewhat freaky and also somewhat badass? I'll let you guys judge for yourselves. Be safe out there when you encounter these guys.

>A video begins to play.
>The video opens to some calm, subtle symphonic electro-house as an insignia flashes on screen, a picture of the Da Vinci human diagram, but covered in circutry and cybernetic parts, and with 3 heads.
