The NANOSUIT program had been going as well as the science team has expected. I, personally was the chief overwatch to make sure everything was going flawlessly. The second week of testing, Rainbow Dash, our volunteer; managed to break the record for the max speed a human can reach on foot. Reaching a top speed of 190 KM/H on the treadmill lasting for 20 seconds before the suits power supply went flat-lined. Rainbow Dash had no problem to continue testing despite my advice to take a break for a week or two. Her heartbeat was already on a steady 50% faster pace than normally, and her blood pressure is bouncing between "Steady" and "Critical" levels.

Are you sure you can carry on with the testing, Rainbow? I'm really worried about you!
I'm fine Twilight! It's nothing wrong with me!
But.. according to my--
Litsen, Twilight! I know you're worried about my physical condition! But it's alright!

The fifth week of testing was a major success for the program. We managed to fully develop the Outer Shell Altering Ability, otherwise known as "Armor mode". Rainbow Dash was capable of taking a bullet fired from a Superior Combat Assault Rifle (S.C.A.R) on several location, including the Center of the ribcage, the Lumbar and the spine. the suit protected her without breaking a sweat, so to say. But when the bullet hit her spine, she instantly fell to the ground completely lifeless. Medical staff arrived and checked her vitals. It turned out to be an adrenaline rush above her physical capacity. She recovered several days later.

RAINBOW!
Stand back, Twilight! We have the situation under control!
THAT'S MY FRIEND YOU JUST SHOT!
We're serious, Twilight! The medical staff has it under control! Doctor, what's her status?
hmm... well it appears that she's just experiencing an adrenaline rush above her physical capacity. She's going to be alright, Twilight! But we need to take her to the medical station on sublevel 4!

The medical staff detached the suit prototype from her body and made an on-site X-RAY scan. It appeared that her spine was completely untouched. That had to be the most stressful moment in my entire life!
The sixth week was a big leap forward. Rainbow Dash had taken a long deserved RnR and we received a new, temporary volunteer.Spitfire. The Wonderbolt Air Force commander, she underwent the standard preparation procedures and received the fifth revision of the suit. This Model had been pre-installed with a Visual-Output feed connected directly to the main display, including two new features: Cloak and Nanovision. Spitfire was able to engage Cloak with no problem. As we activated our Visor-Output coming from the suit, the suit monitor flat-lined. The science team thought this was just another Suit-Power Depletion. However this was not the case.
Um, Spitfire? We're not getting any inputs from your suit to our monitors. Please confirm a Suit-Power Depletion.
*Garbled chatter*
Spitfire this is Twilight Sparkle! Please confirm a Suit-Power Depletion!
The suit had completely locked itself in its current position, rendering Spitfire unable to move. And we could not find her in the test chamber. our Nanovision-cameras were unable to register the CryFibril material the suit was made out of, when all of a sudden; the monitors went on again. and Spitfire emerged from her cloak.

What in the holy mother of f*ck just happend? I demand an explanation!
Spitfire, there was a minor malfunction in the suit monitoring systems. The suit must've locked itself into place. Oddly, your vital signs flat-lined as well.
Well i will sure as hell not continue this death trap of a test! I'm out!
