BLACK MESA RESEARCH FACILITY HEV Mk IV PROTECTIVE SYSTEM The Hazardous Environment (HEV) Suit Mk IV is the latest in the Black Mesa Research Facility's series of advanced protective garments used by Black Mesa personnel to facilitate research activities in the harshest of conditions. Following the trend set by the HEV Mk III, the Mk IV employs a powered exoskeleton and electronic protective shell, finely directed by an onboard computer. A plethora of integrated sensors and medical equipment keep the user aware, informed, and insured at all times. Development of the Mk IV began in 1994, with the Black Mesa Lambda design corp heading the project. Backed by DARPA funding, development was contracted to ILC Dover and Garrett AiResearch (now AlliedSignal), both veterans of spacesuit design. By 1998, the result was a production-ready, state-of-the-art multipurpose environment suit that leveraged the capabilities of modern material sciences and computerized electronics to deliver unprecedented performance.

Each plate is made of multiple layers, one of which being the sensor layer which converts kinetic readings into electronic signals, and the remaining layers being sheets of woven reactive polymer that hardens in response to the sensor layer’s detection of physical trauma. This allows the Mk IV to soak up impacts, whether it's from blunt force or from projectiles.

The joints flex with the user in a manner similar to an accordion, with one side of each of the toroids in the joint compressing, and the other side expanding along with the gel. The gel is semi-compressible, and is highly impact resistant, serving as a trauma mitigator. Each toroid is built from a woven electroactive polymer, allowing it to selectively compress parts of itself, forcing the gel to fill and expand the remaining volume of the toroid, and thus articulate its shape. Under unpowered conditions, the user is easily able to flex each joint, as the gel will freely move to accommodate the expanding and compressing sides of the joint. With computer-controlled direction, the joints can be forced to follow, support, and enhance user inputs by articulating each joint's shape. Polyurethane-sealed Nylon ripstop pressure bladder ^ The Mk IV weighs nearly 55 kg (121 lbs), but the suit’s powered joints make it feel closer to 20 kg (44 lbs). Each Mk IV is custom fitted to its user, and costs roughly $130 million USD per unit.

Возможно, есть какие-нибудь микроорганизмы, споры, токсичные примеси, которые в перспективе убьют путешественника между мирами (поэтому мне очень понравились все эти разведывательные базы со скафандрами и воздушными шлюзами в Xen), но далеко не сразу.
В районе 1998 уже были харды порядка 20 гигов вроде.
Ну и находить эти костюмы в Зене тоже было бы полезно, хотя сомневаюсь что обычный GPS этому поспособствовал бы.
