Kitewire Armor Morgue Cradle

Kitewire’s cradle seals damaged powered armor inside a flexible diagnostic shroud. Once closed, hair-thin probes crawl across joints and plate seams, mapping stress fractures, dead actuators, contaminated bearings, and biological residue the owner may prefer not to discuss. A suspension field takes weight off the frame so bent parts settle instead of worsening overnight. The cradle can wake a suit’s systems without enabling locomotion, a safety feature added after an early unit walked through a shop wall. Its black arch and hanging shroud look theatrical until the damage report arrives. Then technicians stop joking. The machine does not repair armor. It tells you exactly how expensive tomorrow will be.
