2. Durability:

• Provides minor protection against scratches, abrasions, and superficial burns.
• Resistant to basic environmental damage such as UV radiation and chemical exposure.​

3. Thermal Regulation (Optional Upgrade):

• Built-in temperature regulators to maintain comfort in extreme heat or cold.​

4. Stealth Variant (Optional Upgrade):

• Integrated light-bending technology to minimize visibility in low-light environments.​

Costs:
• Base Chrome Skin:

• Cost: 5,000 eb
• Humanity Loss: -3​

• Thermal Regulation Upgrade:

• Cost: 2,000 eb
• Humanity Loss: -1​
