#prototype multi-operating system is a very welcome boon for him basically

[husband-steve-cortez]

In me2 there's flavor text for the tech upgrades saying you're basically jail-breaking your omni-tool to have greater performance at the cost of longevity (omni-tools are supposed to last decades, and I think the text implies you're cutting that down by a lot)

And Ezra is doing any omni-tool modding himself with some input from Cerberus engineers but he's like crying and weeping the whole time because this is a savant omni-tool and the odds of him ever getting his hands on another one are astronomically low and this thing was supposed to outlive him by centuries and he'll be lucky if it has another 5 years in it but also it can load up fireballs so fast

...Okay they only last like a decade for "precision work" and it's the regular every day omni-tools that last 50 years.

...It also says it reduces omni-tool lifespan by a factor of 20...so you take an omni-tool that would last a decade or so and you're looking at half a year??? Is that how the math works. Ezra is bawling his eyes out. In fact he's not doing that to his beloved savant omni-tool he'll use another still expensive but less exclusive omni-tool to try this experimental power core on. (I'd say a savant omni-tool probably lasts a little longer but you're still probably looking at like, a few years at absolute maximum.)

Also forgot that your jailbroken omni-tool needs constant recalibrating and can be unusable to anyone but yourself. Neat.

Ezra is having so much begrudging fun fucking around with his omni-tool.

#I think some of these methods Ezra was already aware of #oc: Ezra Shepard #the input tuning being one of them but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a frowned upon practice in a military #...though probably not for an N7 and especially not a Spectre #it says Eclipse engineers configure their omni-tools to quickly release raw damage but have to use a second omni-tool for precision work #another tactic I'd think Ezra is *aware* of but switching omni-tools is probably a pain in the ass #and good omni-tools probably aren't cheap so he has more of a middle ground configuration #prototype multi-operating system is a very welcome boon for him basically #begrudgingly. #might as well get the good shit while he's here
