Three dark blades ride flush beneath the forearm plate until the pilot snaps the wrist and hears the lock answer. Kethline built them for Karthunai boarding armor, where a long weapon catches on conduit and a free hand may be busy keeping atmosphere inside the ship. Extended, the claws will peel insulation, score a pressure door, or settle a corridor fight with ugly speed. Retracted, they leave the gauntlet useful and the wearer merely suspicious. Smart owners clean blood and sealant from the tracks before either dries. Everybody else eventually pays a technician to use rude language.
Restricted powered-armor weapon; concealed carry is prohibited in most pressurized ports.
