Why does the carbon unit not comply?

For those of you keeping score at home, yes, I’m still powering my way through the Bare Rose folder in my inventory. Hey, if I’m lucky I may empty it out completely before the end of the year! Well, unless I make another shopping trip in the meantime. Another great ensemble (slash outfit, slash costume, slash roleplay gear) I found stashed in there is “Voyager 3b”. This is a fully detailed and outfitted astronaut’s spacesuit, complete with oxygen supply hoses and gleaming helmet. These are good things, too, unless accidental asphyxiation isn’t a problem for you.

The suit’s detailing is well done, and it’s non-specific enough that the suit can stand in just fine for one from any (or even no particular) space agency. Garment-layer fabric “liners” are provided in three different colors—Gold, Blue and Black—so you can vary the look. Prim components are well done but fairly minimal in construction, so rather than being bulky the suit has a profile that’s slim but still looks realistic. For some reason, I particularly like the boots with their chunky ridged treads, just the thing for getting (and keeping!) a grip on the surface of low-gravity planetoids. The helmet can also be worn under your right arm; a holding pose is integrated into the helmet and is triggered when you wear it.

June Dion’s Voyager 3b ensemble includes pretty much everything you need for your next Extra Vehicular Activity outing, “extra” role in that upcoming Michael Bay sci-fi extravaganza, or costume party. Please read the following fine print: Oxygen supply not included. Follow all safety precautions outlined in the owner’s manual. Management cannot be responsible for injury, dismemberment or death resulting from improper use. Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL. Boldly go.

L$140 at Bare Rose (Bare Rose 213, 40, 29). “Voyager 3”, styled for women, is also available.
