I know we're in the "Wait For Update" phase, but I had an idea I dont want to hold that long. Actually, two.
RELEASE OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR
Ok, ok, this sounds risky, but hear me out and edit it so it's a bit better. I've noticed many of our soldiers have taken to modding their weaponry to their liking. Want your Krakenblade to last longer? Dial back the ink settings so it's thinner, like a katana. Want your Bamboozler to be more accurate? Take the barrel off and carve some rifling inside. I've also seen some of our men and women exchange money with the artistically talented in our ranks to customize their equipment, and keep them looking Fresh. So I figure - Why not make a business out of these little "upgrades" and "Freshenings?" We can only do so much for the mass-produced stuff that we hand out, and our soldiers only have so much downtime to do their own upkeep, so the more heads and hands we can get working, the better!
Also...
Ability: Feel The Beat Headphones
Listening to music helps us work. Simple science! So what if we synched a playlist to a soldier's ink frequency and blasted those tunes as they WENT SINGING INTO THE SLAUGHT- no? Normal music? Ok.
The Feel The Beat Headphones have a radio receiver as well as their own music player, so that an Octoling can tune into OVRN, or queue up their own playlist. Playlists can easily be shared between friends and squads, and synched for optimum, well, synchronization in the team. High-ranking soldiers can also send out messages along the connection between devices, though they might be lost in the bouncing bass.
As a side-note, the headphones and media player are ink-tight and easily washable, although I'm sure someone'll find a way to customize them...
