0:00.0 | Project Seamline grew out of a failed armour program. One nobody liked to admit had cost |
0:07.9 | the fortune and saved almost no one. Too many soldiers still bled out before the helicopters |
0:14.5 | could reach them, and there was an overflow of dead bodies zipped into bags that was supposed |
0:19.8 | to have worn the best protection |
0:21.2 | science could offer. |
0:23.5 | The Pentagon wanted something better, and they wanted it fast. |
0:29.2 | Self-repairing gear that could close wounds and seal shredded uniforms within 60 seconds of trauma. |
0:36.5 | They laid the groundwork with nanofiber threading, |
0:39.5 | microscopic strands built to constrict, bind, and adapt to war. |
0:44.7 | Each filament carried its own predictive program, |
0:48.0 | tuned to detect force vectors, thermal spikes, |
0:50.8 | and kinetic fractures before they fully developed. |
0:55.2 | The theory was simple. |
0:57.2 | The soldier gets hit and the suit feels it happening. |
1:01.2 | The suit seals itself, maybe even seals the flesh underneath. |

1:24.3 | For years, I wrote prediction algorithms for urban traffic grids, shaving seconds off |
