DESCRIPTION:
- An early prototype of the equipment that Petri and Kira hope to employ to aid Demon Hunters in their fight against the Horde.  The belt apparatus that is part of their Inferis garb allows the user to connect their bodies to the gear and use their muscles to guide motion on the wire.  On the back is a cylinder that propels out a gas mixture with high force, with fans on either side that are connected to canisters attached to the user's back.  The canisters will need replacing and can be depleted if too much gas is used to get somewhere faster (although there are limits to the maximum force that the canisters can produce at a time.  There is a trigger on the handles that usually reside in holsters on either side of the chest that, when pressed, activate the small grappling hooks that shoot out of small rectangular "pouches" (for lack of a better term) on the belt and latch into just about any surface.  They can fall out if they don't sink in deep enough, but will support a persons weight (or two, but it'll use up more gas and is less effective).  The trigger also activates the gas and can be controlled from there.  Once a person is airborne via these grappling lines on either hip, its up to physics, body motion, and muscle control to maneuver oneself.

As stated, this is a prototype and currently only Kira and Petri have access to it in any form. Petri developed it with her (he concocted the gas and propulsion mechanism, she figured out the rest).  There are still many faults, and is currently used with restraint because its only effective with simple motions and keeping oneself attached to one spot for the moment.  This will improve as they do more research and experiment further (aka level up).
