Void Armor

v1.6 The age of weapons

🟥 G.N.O.M.E. CLASSIFIED RESEARCH DOSSIER

Clearance Level: Red-Theta
Item Designation: Void-Infused Mithril Sword
Registry Code: VMS-07-Δ
Status: Active Containment (Field-Deployed)

ORIGIN SUMMARY

Originally forged as a flawless Mithril blade, this weapon was later subjected to unauthorized void exposure during a G.N.O.M.E. resonance experiment explicitly labeled:

“DO NOT APPLY TO EDGED WEAPONS.”

The warning was acknowledged.
The warning was ignored.

Mithril was expected to fracture, unravel, or cease to exist entirely under void saturation.

It did not.

INFUSION RESULTS

During a sealed infusion trial, the blade absorbed void energy and restructured its internal lattice to accommodate it. Post-event analysis confirms the presence of a persistent, non-inert void resonance bound within the metal.

The blade’s edge no longer reflects light consistently.
Wounds inflicted do not follow normal biological response patterns.
Several injuries failed to heal despite complete medical intervention.

Awareness classification remains Inconclusive.

FIELD OBSERVATIONS

Field reports indicate wielders survive engagements they statistically should not.

Not safer—longer.

Documented effects include:

• Near-fatal strikes failing to connect
• Enemy hesitation at critical moments
• Outcomes shifting within improbable but non-zero margins

Probability modeling shows consistent bias favoring continued wielder survival.

Cause remains undetermined.

BEHAVIORAL NOTES

• Mass increases incrementally following confirmed kills
• Emits low-frequency resonance when bearer is wounded
• Demonstrates resistance to being sheathed or set down after prolonged deployment

Rotation of wielders is advised to prevent long-term resonance imprinting.

No rotation has been recorded.

AUTHORIZATION STATUS

Functional Stability: Acceptable
Containment Risk: Increasing
Combat Authorization: Granted
Ethics Committee Approval: ██████████

Final Note:
The sword appears invested in its wielder’s continued existence.
Intent remains unclear.
