Prologue: Why Bother, Crying in the Rain?
December 30th, 2017
“Excellent, now my first true blueprint is drawn, and my dream of inventing has begun!” cried Ben as he jumped from his desk in jubilation, “Plan A for project Wingspan is complete. Now to contact Sean and the beginning can begin!

“I now open the first meeting of the Insanity Tech with myself, Benjamin Rain and my good friend and partner Sean Freefall, today begins the production of our first project, Project Wingspan in the production of our very own parachute backpack and Sumo Safety Suit,” announced Benjamin Rain to himself, Sean and the empty room.

“For as men hath lit fire and birds are beholden to spreadeth their wings, upon this day Insanity Tech is truly birthed in a grandiose manner, spreading its wings and lighting its own fire to burn infinitely against the ebbing of history,” concluded Ben as he finished his speech and was followed by a massive round of applause from both family and friends alike as he strapped on the S.S.S., locked on his backpack and foot weights before beginning the climb up the rock wall destined to be the test site of the first Insanity Tech dream realised and invented. Reaching the top Ben bowed his head in a confident and cheerful nod with his eyes full of mirth before jumping off of the cliff and freefalling a metre or two before he inflated the before releasing the parachute as it quickly inflated then deflated, catching in the wind as Ben soared like a hang-glider, before inflating the S.S.S. with the press of a button and disconnecting the parachute to roll to a stop, all the while sustained in a feet first position by the foot weights. Ben felt good as the S.S.S deflate and he drew himself to his feet, his family and friends cheering and running over to him.

With a burst of sparks from Ben striking some spare flint together it was done. They had finally finished the Double Jump Boots and they were proud about it down to the core. The product of a year and a half’s work they were complete, with the mere touch of a button allowing a second propulsion skywards or “Double Jump” if you will in mid-air. Project AA complete.

Project Electro-Touch or as Ben fondly referred to it “Lightning Hands” was done, a dual system pair of gloves with embedded A.I. control as tensing your hand while in contact with an organic being or electronic device would provide a light shock and rubbing them together and using the codeword would give a knockout shock or allow you to seemingly throw lightning at the target, ergo. “Lightning Hands”. Fun.
