Chapter 30: V.1-C.30│Nanosuit II│
Secondary functions that Anakin would apply to the Nanosuit were things that he himself would be incapable of accessing normally with his Human physiology.
The Nanosuit incorporates its own communications equipment, allowing for hands-free voice and / or video communications over a wide range of frequencies.
The visor of the Nanosuit is capable of heightening received light, acting as night-vision goggles. The suit possesses a Binoculars function integrated into the visor, allowing the operator of the suit to 'tag' enemy units, ammunition, and vehicles for future reference and engagement. This information can also be relayed onto allied units.
The binoculars also magnify distant sound, enabling the user able to hear the lightest of sounds from far away.
The suit features an onboard supercomputer which allows it to remotely interface with and hack most electronic devices either military and civilian, even alien. The suit incorporates a small internal oxygen supply for underwater activity. It automatically recharges when the user re-enters a breathable atmosphere.
It also incorporates an array of 'hydro-thrusters' that allow increased speed during Speed mode sprinting, as well as high maneuverability when submerged. This functionality also permits the Nanosuit to move in a zero gravity environment by utilizing atmospheric gasses as reaction mass.
Several magnetic holsters will be put on the suit for weapons storage and management. It incorporates data connectivity to a network of Anakin's choosing, allowing the suit to display critical information on its HUD.
Computers can interface with the Nanosuit in order to access this network. Additionally, information about the Nanosuit as well as the wearer's vital signs can be accessed from the network by those he trusts to rescue him in a pinch.
Capable of recording audiovisual and environmental data, allowing the user to document whatever circumstances they encounter. It will also maintain body temperature if it detects critically suboptimal temperatures in the surrounding environment, and can keep the user alive even at -130°C (-200°F).
A special defrosting function is also introduced. If the suit does somehow get frozen, the user of the suit can initiate the defrosting device and the Nanosuit will be fully capable of movement again.
The suit's Transceiver can be used to broadcast a signal that can disable communications and allows a person to send the signal through a wireless connection via the Nanosuit. It is capable of deactivating the shields of alot of things.
The last secondary feature that Anakin intends to put most of his focus on is Symbiosis considering he wants the suit to be apart of him, an extension of his arm if you will.
Over time, the suit would also directly interface with the wearer's brain. This allows the wearer to use the suit's processors as like a part of their own brain, essentially making most of their thought processes happen outside of their own brain. The wearer's personality and memories would also be copied and stored in the suit's deep layers.
Once fully merged, the wearer no longer appears to wear the suit, but has access to all the suit's functions.
'I will hold off on making the suit for now as I want to make sure it is perfect because of the function, Symbiosis.'

After learning as much as he could as a youngling, and their training he had already successfully completed everything and the only reason he hasn't officially become a Padawan yet is again because of his age.
Thankfully even though the Jedi Order has seemingly refused to let him go on missions, he is still able to advance his studies within the Jedi.
Qui-Gon and Windu had been dutiful masters and had spared no efforts in helping him develop. It seems though that Windu had been very reluctant in giving Anakin the opportunity to learn his lightsaber form.
Only recently had Anakin started to ask more about it and Windu was obviously against it but he could tell his initial resistance to teaching him has decreased.
'Slowly but surely I will learn this form of lightsaber technique.' Anakin's appeal for this style links back to the idea it draws from the dark side of the Force and it would be a step in the right direction to increase his understanding of it.
'The dark side of the Force, has what some would consider unnatural abilities.' Like was said by Sidious and it is true that alot of the powers and abilities alot would consider it as such. The Jedi certainly condemn powers like that.
There would be no room for Anakin to learn of the dark side and its abilities then from another user of the dark side of the Force, which are not exactly in short supply but is much less then the Jedi. The Nightsisters would not teach him, he knows this and it would be too dangerous to risk the chance from learning under Palpatine as Anakin could not ensure his own safety.
'What I can do though, is look for holocrons based off of the Sith which would help me learn some techniques and delve into their powers.'
Form VII, known by its two primary disciplines of Juyo and Vaapad; and also known as The Ferocity Form, was the seventh form of lightsaber combat.
It was considered the most aggressive and unpredictable form. Both Mace Windu and Depa Billaba were the only known masters of the Vaapad variant in the Jedi Order that hadn't fallen to the dark side of the Force.
The sole Form VII variant to have gained recognition by the Jedi Council, Vaapad, was only created in the final decades of the Jedi Order. The key architect of Vaapad was Jedi Master Mace Windu, who developed the form to address his weakness by controlling his inner darkness and channeling it into worthy ends.
For this purpose, he refined advances from the preceding centuries and, in the minds of some, finally perfected Form VII as a true lightsaber form in line with the tenets of the Jedi Code.
Windu had liked to remind Anakin of the fact that his form that he created was extremely dangerous to those of a untrained mind, with enough willpower to overcome the dark side.
It was true in a sense that giving into the nature of the dark side was dangerous with alot of examples to show for it, but Anakin believed that there had to be some form of balance one could achieve.
Form VII would be apart of his path to achieve this balance.
Windu himself was wary of allowing others to study the form outside of his own Padawan pupil, well aware of the danger it posed. Practitioners of Vaapad drew on their anger and passion but never gave in to them.
Compared with the other lightsaber forms, which directed warriors to master their emotions, Vaapad's approach was dangerous.
'I have mastered the core powers of the Jedi. Within Control, Sense and Alter and it was surprisingly easy or should I not be surprised with the ease in which I had basically learnt everything I would need within a year.'
Force speed and Force stealth from the Control area. Force sight, farseeing, Force empathy and telepathy but Anakin had already really developed these abilities so he did not benefit much from this.
Telekinesis is last and it is an ability that Anakin had also developed already but had not been able to properly master himself. There were also multiple ways one could use telekinesis, whether that apply oneself or onto others.
Force jump or leap and Force push and pull.

Dathomir.
Grievous did not have to go to any top of the line medical facility or anything like that to start his procedure as all the droids needed were capable of performing the task. Anakin had made sure they were.
Grievous would be lying if he said he was not excited. These powers he would be able to access would help him in the future when in service to his master and his own goals.
"The first operation to take place would be the one that I dub as the implant, this will connect to the mechanical parts that has turned you into a cyborg." Anakin had told him.
"These parts will be reapplied after your recovery from the operation and you will have to go through standard medical checkups within the next month. Within a months time if everything is a ok, then you should be able to finally equip your parts." Anakin continued explaining.
"Are there any risks to this procedure?" Obviously even if he has a certain level of trust and loyalty, Grievous still wants to live and he would want to know of some side effects, if any.
Anakin responded. "There are no known side effects but what you will be going through mentally will be something else as your mind will try to establish a proper connection to the implant where you would claim control of."
"This implant will act as the main interface and programming for the new body you are to be granted. A many number of things will be made available to you."
"If you have any more questions, please ask them now." Anakin was presiding over the operation through a screen and has directly taken control of one of the droids present.
"No, I have no more."
"Right, I will start now. Fortunately you can be and will be put to sleep with a tranquilizer." And with Anakin's final words, Grievous had blacked out.
The next few days Grievous had been in and out of consciousness because he was trying to establish his control over the chip implanted into him.
The chip was created by Anakin to act as interference and to help establish the initial connection needed for someone to become one with the machinery to be connected to him.
After the month had come to an end Anakin had then explained to Grievous his current state of being. "I feel weird." Grievous had said.
"Of course, your mind now that it has fully acclimated to its new capabilities allows for you some very minor Force related abilities." Anakin said. "Your senses even though not as advanced as they could be have now opened up your mind."
"Specifically you now have a special talent when it comes to machines, similar to my talent but you have more interface while my developed abilities are more instinctual." Anakin voices through the droid he habitually controlled to monitor Grievous' progress.
"So, I can get my parts now. I can have a full functioning body along with abilities related to the Force?"
"Yes. It will take some time as you will feel new sensations with your mechanic body parts than what you originally were able to feel."
"Like what?"
"It is the process your body and mind will be fully connecting to each other and like my elite droids where their parts have become 'alive' in a sense. You too will also have this." The synthesized voice of the droid said.
"You wont feel pain in the traditional sense, it will be more of a mental backlash at losing a part of your new self."
"I will be able to feel again?"
"Not in the traditional sense. Again, alot of what you are now and what you will become will be similar to the elite droids."
"Well what are we waiting for! Lets reapply my parts."
What happened next was a sequence of events that had nearly drove Grievous to tears as he was able to sense but not physically sense with his newfound Force-sensitivity.
'What I would classify as Force-sensitive enough to perform feats at a similar level of normal Jedi or Sith is to have a midi-chlorian count as high as around 7500.' Anakin thought to himself.
When conducting various tests Anakin had to make sure the non-organic midi-chlorian count would try to dip to the original levels Grievous had before integration otherwise it would have been all for nought.
"Thank you! I cant thank you enough, I did not know I would be able to really sense anything."
"Well, nearly anything for my subordinates."
"No, you dont understand, I had been deprived of my senses and now through the Force I can properly feel things again. Truly, I thank you."
"I accept your gratitude, but this is no time for this. I believe you should get used to your new self as it will take a while to readjust."
Back with Anakin he had just cemented his own resolve to go through with his own operation. 'Finally with everything in place I can integrate myself with my own special plan. The results from Grievous was within my own considerations.'
'And I have finally collected all of the materials from the nanomachines, to the metals required and the chemicals. I have also synthesized the fibers required to go through with my suit.'
'Now I just need to go through with the creation and operation.'
