>> Ted seems in no position to dodge, and while the grenade doesn't

>> The King curses. "Godsdamnit!" he shouts. "Alas, the loss of this

>>
>> Three guards run over, but when they touch the field around Ted,
>> there's a loud blast and they are knocked back, their armor
>> heavily scorred by the damage inflicted by the field.
>>
>> Ted may be out, but getting at him may prove difficult.

> and- more importantly- the software underlying the armor's systems.
> The German tourist takes care not to touch the field that had so

It looks almost organic, with what looks like tubes in the form
of veins, exoskeleton ribbing. Hard to say, Oz has never seen
anything quite like it. Still, he thinks he sees where he might
be able to try. Pulling out some equipment he gets to work.

The seconds click by and Ted begins to stir. Sweat pours off
of Oz's forehead as he struggles to hack into the alien armor.

Ted's hand is quivering and flexing and then a look of relief
crosses Oz's face. The lit field disappears, though Ted is
beginning to look more animated as his hand shoots for his
powerful sword...
